To answer some questions...

One day only. 1 time a year. (At least at work. Maybe a booth could be gotten at the City Chili Contest, etc)

Good point. I think having other 'volunteers' (suckers) would be the key to this.

Could also allow the spinee to MATCH the purchase to NOT eat something. I can only imagine their wallet would fly out pretty quickly after getting burned once by an extract, and not wanting a repeat performance!
Also thought of having a 'tier' of hot sauces. Some of my friends there know the difference between an intro extract like Dave's verses something like "Da Bomb". I could bring in a killer like UnBEARable, etc. So $1 for the Dave default, +$1 to upgrade to Da Bomb. +$1 more to upgrade to another.
Maybe to cut down on the number of "eat" slots on the spinner, I can give out hot sauces for prizes. Those miniature Tabasco bottles would probably be pretty cheap. I could always write other companies for sauce donations. (Bring some culture to these heathens that think Tabasco is all there is)
