Watch Out, It's the Toe of Satan!

Beware, O Mortals, for this is no ordinary lollipop. You shall find no strawberry or blueberry flavoring here. Nay, this lollipop is the Toe of Satan! ‘Twas dragged from this pits of hell itself (Satan wasn’t pleased, to be honest) and infused with the hottest of chili extracts. Many foolish and brave heroes have attempted the Toe of Satan challenge, but few have succeeded. Some have even counted the Toe among their unique gifts, foisting the challenge upon their loved ones. You can imagine how the Toe must taste, O Mortal, but you shall never know unless you attempt the challenge yourself.

Assert Your Dominance With Unique Gifts

Anyone can bring a fruit basket to a birthday party. But not you. Nay, you will assert your dominance with unique gifts. You do not concern yourself with the trifles of the earthly realm.

By proffering the Toe of Satan, you may look your fellow mortal in the eye as if to say, “Why yes, I can handle the Toe of Satan Challenge. Can you?” And they shall quake in fear.

9 Million Scoville Units

“How hot can the Toe of Satan be?” ask the foolish mortals. We shall tell you. ‘Twas not an easy task, measuring this hellspawned lollipop against your earthly scales. After much effort, however, the Toe was placed upon the Scoville Scale and measured at 9 million heat units. What does this mean, you ask? Why, Scoville units measure the hottest of peppers, of course. The humble banana pepper ranges from 0 to 500 heat units. The Carolina Reaper, the world’s hottest pepper, is roughly 1.6 million units. The Toe of Satan tips the scales at 9 million units. Beware the power, mortals. Beware. Consume at your own risk, mortals. And above all else, keep the Toe away from children and pets. For if any should consume the Toe, it should be adults.

Not Your Mama's Snack Attack

Where do you put those gifts you don’t want? Come on, admit it - you’ve got a regifting closet or shelf stuffed with vases, shower and bath sets, loofahs, spoon holders, and scarves and hats you don’t like.
