Best drive-through hot sauce?

I am a huge fan of hotsauce, and not the "so hot it melts paint, but I swear it has flavor!" sort.  I do like spicy, but I don't think ghost chilis are meant for human consumption.  What are your favorite drive through joint hot sauces?  Del Taco's isn't bad, especially mixed with some thousand island dressing.

I do all my condiment shopping in grocery stores, not at drive-throughs.  Are you on welfare or something?  Do you eat saltine-and-mustard sandwiches, too?
 
I have eaten tomato soup and ramen spaghetti, but not since college.

I live on the go, and try to make the best of it sometimes.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who's not to cool to admit slumming it, and the related delicious discoveries.

Fire sauce at Taco Bell. When they ask if I want sauce I say "fire sauce... LOTS of it."  :evil4:
 
ok this I can touch on.  I am a hot sauce conneseur of sorts.  I like the stuff from Frank's red hot, which to me is ketchup in heat levels.  Love original Tabasco.  But I can't stand the flavor of the green Tabasco. I like the chipotle Tabasco.  Done the Dave's insanity sauce, honestly just to say I've eaten it.  There is a wing place here in town, I guess they have like 1000 flavors of wings.... A couple that you have to sign a waiver for.  Well here is a pic of me right after eating 1.5 of these Nuclear Hell 2 wings....  The guy who makes these just kind of chuckles,  and when I ate these, it was a spectacle believe me.  The whole kitchen staff and about 10 of my buddies were there watching... I never had a standing ovation before or since for anything, the whole restaurant was cheering me on.......  But I paid for it, way too hot for human consumption. So that being said I try different hot sauces from all over the country, my friends and family buy me hot sauce when they travel.... And when I used to be a delivery driver on the road all day and eating sometimes  3 times a day in my truck, my solution to sub-par hot sauce from the drive through was a good old bottle of Tabasco red in the center console of my truck. That way I always had it and never had to worry about them forgetting the fire sauce for my tacos.  Acutally I love the Bell's fire sauce, I think it's probably the best when it comes to big chain fast food hot sauce.  I like Arby's Horsey sauce too!!

What this picture doesn't convey is the pain that I am about to feel.  I kind of thought it was cool that my lips were numb at this point when he snapped the pic....  About 10 minutes after this I was outside with all of the muscles in my legs convulsing.  I couldn't compose myself.  The one cool thing was how well I could breathe out of my nose for about a week after.  Yeah this was one of those moments where someone told me I couldn't do something, and, well there is the proof.  I just found this picture on the restaurant's myspace.  As far as I know, I still hold the record at 1.5 of these devilish wings.  Here is their website if you're interested:  http://www.ckwingsnthingspa.com/index.html

 
Cool, I totally dig it "the hotter the better"... My favorite at this point is Endorphin Rush - will make you tingle immediately and is part of the Death Pack. I've won so many hot wings contests that I can't count them. Here locally, I go to a place called Buffaloes Reef and get Super Hots all the time. The guy that makes them in the back has to wear a gas mask to cook them up and they are absolutely smoking hot - I love 'em...

Don't really do 'drive through' hot sauces...
 
I've got a bottle of Uncle Dave's insanity sauce in my cupboard at home.  I use it quite a lot, but only a couple of drops at a time.  It is damn hot.

I also picked up some stuff in Belize.  Marie Sharp's sauces.  They do several in the range, all chili sauces. some which taste really nice but not hot, all the way up.  Names like Marie Sharp's XXXX, Marie Sharps No Wimps Allowed, Marie Sharps Beware.  They all have varying heat levels, but they taste nice too.  Not just HOT.....

Lovely stuff
 
I point and laugh at hot sauce snobs... though this is a guitar building snob forum.  ;)  That being said, I'm taking Jimh's advice and hunting down some Marie's.  Heat AND flavor is awesome.

i've signed waivers for hot sauces on many occasions.

while i love it hot, flavour is important too.  Buffalo Wild Wings' Jerk Chicken is nearly perfect for me.
 
The Taco Bell FIRE sauce isn't that hot IMO, and I think their HOT tastes better.  It actually has a flavor compared to the FIRE one.  Rudy's BBQ has a spicy B-B-Q sauce that could pass for hot sauce.  It's heavy on the vinegar, so there's a nostril flaring and cough factor atleast with me.  We have a lot of Frank's Red Hot around the house because my wife was doing the Grocery Game online and found a deal on it.  Like Tabasco, it's hot but sacrifices flavor for heat.  I like Cholula the best.  Not exactly drive-thru, but neither is Tabasco and Chick-Fil-A has it.
