Basic Trope: REALLY spicy sauce. * Played Straight: Awesome Sauce is spicy enough to be really painful and cause those who eat it to breathe flames. * Exaggerated: Awesome Sauce can a) eat through solid rock and/or b) cause objects to go up in flames just by being near it. It is made with exotic peppers from deep in the jungles of South or Central America, and said peppers are illegal in several countries. * Justified: Awesome Sauce is the brainchild of a Cloudcuckoolander with too much time on his/her hands...and too many chili peppers. * Inverted: Awesome Sauce freezes everything it comes in contact with, not unlike liquid nitrogen. * Subverted: Awesome Sauce gives off smoke and eats through the table and plates, but the diners eat it with no ill effects whatsoever.
