With all that in mind, it’s easy to predict what you’ve got in store should you decide to purchase a scoop of Devil’s Breath (or Respiro del Diavolo in Italian). On the Scoville scale, the gelato reaches a whopping 1,569,300 units, which means it’s roughly 500 time hotter than Tabasco, 31 time hotter than cayenne pepper, and one third less than pepper spray!
According to the Scoville scale, the signature ice cream of this Scottish cafe is classified as “dangerous”.

However we’d wager that eating this stuff will cost you more than just money.
