Opening order measured on 2026-11-03 from a pool of 176 candidates — 120 of them with a qualifying measured challenge video — using one uniform yt-dlp method: each dish's top challenge video, counting product-line videos even when the exact flavour or level is not named (the A+B rule). Heat figures appear only as reference specs on item pages, where a maker publishes them. Once people arrive, participation takes the ranking over.

Chains vs single shops is the real fight on this board
A Dave's Reaper is the same in 400 cities. A Dijinda is one kitchen's mood. Standardized heat vs folk heat — pick a side.

Phaal's 5-minute record — technique or tolerance?
Most people can't get halfway. Somebody cleared it in five minutes. Either the dish varies, or she is built different.
