The LD50 for capsaicin in mice is around 200mg/kg. The Flaming Anus chocolate bar is 52 grams according to Amazon. That chocolate is also not good for mice, the theobromine causes a similar toxicity in dogs.
There is a very real possibility that the mouse is either dead or at least has learned a very hard lesson about eating candy from strangers.

I love spicy food but realistically, this can’t taste good…

Yeah, I like spicy food but scoville unit for scoville unit's sake is just... not fun

Stops being a treat and instead devolves into a test of fortitude

I think for spicy food acting as food, the hottest pepper I still enjoy the taste of is a Habanero. In my opinion, anything beyond that isn’t meant to be tasted. Sometimes, the pain and that hit of adrenaline is the point though.

You should try pushing yourself. Once you get used to the more intense spiciness unlocks more flavors.

I think at this point it’s “we made this product with A ZILLION SCOVILLE sauce/pepper/etc” and it’s watered down by the end product.
The scoville scale tops out at 16 million, because that’s the measurement of pure Capsaicin crystals. This chocolate can’t be 1/8th capsaicin.

Maybe not by itself, but perhaps as part of a Mole' sauce? I'm with ya, tho'. I eat red chili powder everyday to keep a baseline so that I can enjoy all the other flavors that those spicy chili's offer. I like to grow Scotch Bonnets, and Habaneros. This year I'm hoping to grow Madame Jeanette, a chili in the same scoville range, with lovely fruity notes. Thanks for bringing this up, I just wrote to the farm that I get my Spring starts from, asking that they grow Madame Jeanette. Hee Hee!
