So we have an upcoming chili cook-off here at work. I win every year the hot category. This year however, I'm pulling out all the stops. I'm *starting* with carolina reapers and going up from there. I'm also using exotic meats (python, rattlesnake, iguana, alligator)

In the past, the names for my chili have been: Nuclear Assault, Chernobyl and Death's Head. Unfortunately this year I'm totally drawing a blank. All I can come up with is "None But The Brave" which, while generating the required sense of foreboding, is still a tad wordy. Here's where I need your help. I need a name that is a suitable warning (or dire threat) for what the victim is getting involved with, but still work-friendly (I had considered "I Hate You All" which, while true, really can't be used here)  

 

Suggestions?

For some reason, my mind went Biblical first. "Fire & brimstone" or "the 11th Plague"

Considering I work in a Laboratory, that's amusing...

I had considered "LD50" for the name, but was somewhat taken aback that few here knew what it meant.

Not...foreboding enough TBH

"Exsanguination by asphyxiation" has an alliterative ring to it...

I win my wife's families chili cook off every year with my "spicy" chili. But it's only spicy for normal chili, not spicy for spicy chili. I am sure it's like fruit salad compared to what you make

Yeah I hate most of my co-workers, so I really want to punish them. I had considered "Ixion's Wheel" but that's a really subtle reference, and I don't want to be that subtle.

Also considered "Heretic's Fork" or "Judas Cradle" (do not google that at work) but I"m not sure if I want to go that direction, though Judas Cradle is fitting for the chaos I am preparing...

Natch.

But I'm going with "Asphyxiation by Exsanguination" (drowning in blood) because I can't use profanity in the name.
