I actually find Dave's Insanity to go away quite quickly, it doesn't linger for some reason or other so I am not in a rush to wash it down.

The hottest thing I've tasted was pure capsaicin oil. My friend grows his own peppers (not sure which strain) and extracts the oil and concentrates it with grain alcohol so much that 50 peppers becomes one half teaspoon of oil. Then he dipped the tip of a toothpick of the oil into some soup and my entire mouth was on fire and my lips got inflamed and puffed up so much I was rubbing my face with ice cubes for an hour and it still won't go away.

So, since capsaicin is an oil and therefore insoluble to water, I resorted to washing my mouth and lips with dish washing detergent. It was the only thing that saved me.
