Naming Hot Pepper Sauces - Get a Free Sample!

[rhody]

Naming "Hot Stuff"...

All of you who know me and the ones who follow my posts but don't know me, I would like to ask your humble advice and input for seven hot pepper sauces, 2 mild, 2 medium, 1 hot, and one extremely hot. Sounds easy right ? Not quite.

I want names that the unscientific general public might be aware of, most likely not. They have to be reflect the intensities, mild, medium, hot, extremely hot in physics terms, one to three words, maybe four tops. This should be an interesting exercise. If I decide to use your name, I will send you a free sample of the sauce that you helped to name. Your feedback on it's taste will be most appreciated, of course.

[Insanity]

Physics terms, or scientific terms?

Glottis Immolation = Extremely Hot

Hi Insanity, nice name BTW, it fits this thread, Physics terms.

Rhody...

Is it just me, less than a year ago, about 100 folks would read most every new thread on most PF forums, but in GD especially, that number seems to have doubled, a good thing IMHO. More minds to apply to the task at hand.

 

[CaptFirePanda]

You could call one the Amy Mainzer (physicist for JPL). She's pretty hot!

Try picante, muy picante, más picante, super picante, llameante picante.

Or look for Thai, Malay and Indonesian expressions.

Take a look at what Dave's Insanity, Mad Dog and Blair's have done, and don't repeat.

There's Insanity hot sauce, Megadeath hot sauce, After Death hot sauce . . . .

Maybe label them on Scoville scale, e.g., 800 K, 2 M, 16 M - as in Rhody's 16 M Hot Sauce.

Be original!

 

[turbo]

Astro is right. Don't copy Dave or others, or you'll be on speaking terms with a LOT of lawyers.

 

[IMP]

Descriptions:
Extreme = free quarks, you have been warned
Extreme 2 = the day after, you WILL have which path info, guaranteed
Extreme 3 = Scoville units not applicable, see Thermodynamic Temperature scale
Extreme 4 = degenerate matter inside
Extreme 5 = Fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat? NOT TRUE, evidence inside
Extreme 6 = Doubt cold fusion? EAT THIS and find out.

Names:
Quark Sauce

Haha. A few days ago I had some http://www.famousdaves.com/menuCategories/sauces/.

I have a bottle. I had to sign a waiver (of liability) to buy it. Personally, don't think it's that hot. I've tried it straight on my tongue, and I wasn't impressed. I've had much hotter (picanteier).

THERMOdynamic/THERMOdynamite
Extreme Entropy/Enthalpy

Maybe a play on THERMITE might work.

 

[CaptFirePanda]

Maybe a play on THERMITE might work.

It certainly could. I was just trying to stick to physics-related terms of sorts.

 

[rootX]

we can have a new scale
pico-crazy
micro-crazy
..
Tetra-crazy

or maybe
starting using quantum elements

Pretty clever root, I wanted something on a frequency scale rising, you did not fail to disappoint. Any other ideas, anyone else ?

[Astronuc]

Mega-, Giga-, Tera-, Peta-, Exa-, Zetta-, Yotta- (7 terms)

-bite, -hot, -picante, -fire


Gigabite/Terabite would be a play on Gigabyte/Terabyte

Thanks Astro, combination's, hmmm... where do I begin...

You could use wood-fire words, like ember, coals, etc, etc, all the way up to flaming.

Oh. I like those.

Nice, I like this slowly creeping up on a solution, but those are adjectives, not physics related. Maybe a hybrid, physics & non physics for both worlds.

[Astronuc]

Try some Latin - incendia (like fire on one building), ignis (as a flame, in a lighter, when it's burning), flamma (as a light, in a candle)

Haha, I toyed with Gamma Ray Burst.

Also, Planck Temperature - The Big Bang in a Bottle

 

[diogenesNY]

Perhaps-- _Active Galactic Nucleus_ ?

 

[rhody]

Isn't this fun ? Thanks... I will have to sit quietly and play word soup for awhile, preferably when I have had some tequila, I always do better creatively when relaxed.

Rhody...

 

[Curious3141]

Glottis Immolation

I'm definitely naming my Death Metal band that, if I ever get around to forming one.

 

[rhody]

I am surprised no one suggested the infamous Quark Gluon Plasma, a favorite of mine.
I like the latin angle too, for those so included. After a few sessions with "The Bottle" I am sure I will come up with unique titles, that will survive a ficticious name search for naming the sauces. I want them to reflect a scientific appreciation, more important, to be one of a kind.

Rhody...

 

[Evo]

You could name the hotest "spontaeous combustion"

 

[Insanity]

Capsaicin Induced Agony

 

[rhody]

You could name the hotest "spontaeous combustion"

Sorry Evo, that name is already taken, many common ones are, that's why I am taking great care to come up with ones that convey science and heat, what a combination, huh ?!

Rhody...

 

[Ivan Seeking]

You could list the scoville value in hexadecimal.

Or how about
HOT^1/2
2HOT
HOT²
HOT!1111!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I am surprised no one suggested the infamous Quark Gluon Plasma, a favorite of mine.

In that case, the low end should go as a Bose–Einstein condensate.

Solar Flare
Tokamak Reactor

Or maybe some alliteration? Here's some suggestions [with a handy temperature guide]:

Milds:
1. Millikelvin Mildness [T ~ 10^-3 K]
2. Radiowave Red [radio wave energies ~ 10^-3K]
3. Paramagnetic Pulp [typical paramagnetic interaction energies ~ 10^-1K]
4. Microwave Moderation [CMBR, for instance ~ 10^0 K]

Mediums:
1. Naughty Nitrogen [boiling point ~10^2 K]
2. Infrared Idiocy [typical IR energies ~ 10^2 K]
3. Bunsen Burner [typical flame temperature ~ 10^3 K]
4. Fermi's Fire [Fermi Temperature for common metals and semiconductors ~ 10^4 K]
5. Solar Sauciness [photosphere temperature ~ 10^4 K]

Hots:
1. X-cruciating X-rays [soft x-ray energies ~ 10^5 K, hard x-rays ~ 10^8 K]
2. Coronal Craziness [temperature of corona ~ 10^6 K]
3. Funky Fusion [small nucleii fuse at ~10^7 K, larger ones at ~ 10^8 K]
4. Supernova Strong [T ~ 10^10 K]

Extremely-hots:
1. Hunting [STRIKE]Hardons[/STRIKE] Hadrons [Fermi melting point of hadrons ~ 10^12 K]
2. Annihilating Anti-protons [10^15 K]
3. Certainly CERN [energies at the LHC ~ 10^18 K]
4. Cosmic Concoction [typical cosmic ray events ~ 10^22+ K]
5. Petrified Planck [Planck Temperature ~ 10^32 K]

PS, for Rhody: Hunting Hadrons is also a reference to the QGP

Edit: Oops! Undid the machinations of a dirty mind - thanks to Panda.

 

[CaptFirePanda]

1. Hunting Hardons [Fermi melting point of hadrons ~ 10^12 K]

I like the misspeliing of hadrons the best!
