This is how it works: Customers bring their DISC-IT and donate their time and the food they are serving. You can make anything you want on the DISC-IT – offer sample servings of 1-2 oz.
Scorpion? Ghost? 7-Pot? What the heck is it?

Hot Wheels: Quick! To the Chilemobile!
Instead of going the lazy route (put it on Facebook with a funny caption, clap self on back, grab a soda–you know, my usual), I thought, “If the Germans have crazy chile cars roaming the streets, there have to be some Stateside.” A little hunting later, I confirmed that theory.
