Crime fighting India chili

I got a kick out of this. India's military is now employing a legendarily hot chili to make tear-gas grenades for use in subduing suspects. The chili grows in the northeast part of the country and is scientifically measured as up to 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce (the measurement of a chili's spiciness is called a Scoville unit - look it up).

Now, I can barely smell Tabasco sauce without tearing up, so I can't imagine being swallowed up by THIS stuff. It's the only substance known to man that'll clear your sinuses and your bowels at the same time.

I wonder what other foods and beverages we can use in the fight against evil. Police cars can deploy a few quarts of bacon grease to cause fugitives to slide off the road and into a ditch. That would be more fun to watch than those boring spike strips. Drop some Fizzies into a crystal meth lab and enjoy the fireworks. Slip some Jolt Cola into the rations of bothersome survivalists, wait 37 hours or so and then take them out peacefully when the 4 o'clock sugar crash hits.

Think of the possibilities. What are some others that I left out?
