tl;dw: the Scoville values the show puts on screen are largely bull.
1: 1800 (show) -> 1460 (lab tested)
2: 6900 (show) -> 1350 (lab tested)
3: 17,000 (show) -> 480 (lab tested)
4: 36,000 (show) -> 1080 (lab tested)

Da Bomb (#is the only one that came in above the show's ratings, which is why it's the only one that people on the show regularly violently react to. The rest are under, sometimes WAY under, what the show says.
Scoville units are nonsense anyway. It's a wildly unscientific, unreliable unit of measurement.
Also I have a homie that likes doing this for his birthday so I've done the whole lineup 4 times and the first time I tried it, I quit at Da Bomb. The reason people react like that to Da Bomb is that yeah it's hot but it also taste like complete ****. It tastes like you're just eating chemicals. You can't taste anything else and can't even tell you're eating chicken anymore and it messes up your mouth for a while. That's why the ones after don't seem that bad. I actually have one of the last dab bottles in my fridge right now and it's hot as hell but it also tastes like hot sauce so it's bearable.

I just bought this maternity diaper bag off of a Nike store a few days ago, and... it's a life-changer.
Huge storage space inside, multiple zippers, two extra bags (for bottles and pacifiers), plus a laptop compartment at the back. And you can either carry it as a tote, a handbag, or a regular backpack. Only downside is the price though. But I decided to cop because I know i'll get my money's worth.
I'll be using this as my office bag for next year. Can't believe I'm saying this but I can't wait to get back to work

Fiancé deposited a $468,000 cashiers check yesterday at the bank. Wild to be holding that much money in your hands. Told her she should have gotten it in USD before depositing it
(the reason for the check was that both her parents and her grandma died within the last 3 years and she has all their assets allocated to her. 3 pensions, 3 life insurance policies, her parents fully paid off home, and she had to split her grandmas home with her aunt. So she just bought the remaining half of her grandmas home, and the $468,000 was the full closing cost of the home to get it fully into her name)

When it comes to hot sauce, I need a good combo of heat and flavor.

I imagine you’re right. Plus, can’t they charge you some sort of fee for the time and hassle of counting and putting together that much money all at once?

No. Speaking from experience, the vault typically has less than $1M in cash on hand. The most I’ve ever seen was $700k (BofA). The Cash on Wheels (CoW) had almost as much and sat behind the teller line for the tellers to sell to or buy from when necessary.

Nope. All the money is in straps and is already counted from the vaulted being audited, plus getting money together is their job. Counting it all up in front of you is just for show. They just want you to schedule a withdrawal like that in advance.
