I Scream FROM Ice Cream

Before you can have an ice cream cone, you have to sign a waiver. Because the ice cream, while icy cold, is also too hot to handle.

Because it's flavored with three kinds of hot peppers and two varieties of hot sauce.

Cold Sweat, a flavor sold at ice cream shop Sunni Sky's, is made with three kinds of pepper and two kinds of hot sauce.

"It tastes like fire — with a side of fire," said Scott McCallum, a regular customer, who was eating the more sedate butter pecan flavor.

"I thought it was a cool idea, but I didn't think he'd make it that hot," McCallum said of proprietor Scott Wilson.

Wilson started out experimenting with jalapenos in vanilla ice cream to appeal to Hispanic customers — which was unsuccessful — and worked his way up to Cold Sweat.

The waiver for the fiery mixture has dozens of signatures. Pregnant women and people with health problems are not supposed to eat it. Anyone younger than 18 needs the consent of a guardian.

We certainly wish Mr. Wilson all the success in the world. We just can't see Cold Sweat ice cream outselling rattlesnake. Or grilled sardine.
