Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX are to be stored in a refrigerated container. Each instance should be kept in its own compartment, and the complete container is to be inspected monthly. Signs of any instance decomposing should be immediately reported to Level 3 personnel or a member of Site Command.
Testing with SCP-XXXX is subject to approval by Level 3 personnel. Tests involving the mixing of any two instances are preemptively denied. Materials used in tests should be cleaned in separate lab spaces to prevent accidental cross-contamination. Use of SCP-XXXX in the field by MTFs is pending approval by Overwatch Command.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of condiments which, when consumed as topping or coating for certain otherwise non-anomalous foods, cause anomalous effects to manifest in the consumer. These effects have been observed to persist for a period between 10 minutes and two (2) hours. Generally speaking, effects manifest when consumed with cooked meat. Known exceptions include scrambled eggs and some pastas.
In order to obtain a description of each instance's contents, a panel of five D-class personnel was asked to sample roughly 10 milliliters of each instance's contents. A separate panel was used for each instance. Unless otherwise noted, each instance's container was printed with a USDA-style "nutrition facts" and ingredients list were present on bottle. Attempts at re-creating each instance have been unsuccessful.
| Designation |
Description of container |
Description of contents |
| SCP-XXXX-A |
Shape resembles ███ ████ Foods brand Sriracha sauce bottle. Bottle lacks any printing on any surface. |
Visually resembles Sriracha sauce. Entire panel described taste as "uncomfortably spicy" regardless of tolerance to non-anomalous "heat." |
| SCP-XXXX-B |
Bottle identifies itself as "weak sauce." |
Taste described as "bland" to "underwhelming." |
| SCP-XXXX-C |
Bottle identifies itself as "awesome sauce." Imagery on bottle depicts subjects performing various feats of physical strength with apparent ease. |
Descriptions varied wildly between each subject. Generally described as being "almost if not exactly like [their] favorite kind." |
Through testing, SCP-XXXX has been determined to impart the following anomalous effects when consumed with specific non-anomalous foods.
| Designation |
Known effects |
| SCP-XXXX-A |
Subject's exhale rises to temperatures of approximately 2,200 °C. Subjects do not experience internal or facial burns from exposure to this heat or heat of resultant fires. |
| SCP-XXXX-B |
Subject appears to lose both desire and ability to do most physically exerting tasks. Apparent opposite of SCP-XXXX-C. |
| SCP-XXXX-C |
Subject becomes extremely physically able without visible gain of muscle mass. Accompanied by a desire to display newfound abilities (though this effect may be natural non-anomalous excitement.) Apparent opposite of SCP-XXXX-B. |
SCP-XXXX was discovered when reports of what was apparently SCP-XXXX-A's primary effect began circulating the Internet on 2018-██-01. MTF Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings") carried out a successful disinformation campaign while Foundation operatives collected SCP-XXXX instances from several locations (including restaurants in New York City, Victoria, Texas, and Munich, Germany.) Investigation into the origin of the anomaly has proven difficult, partly due to witnesses being amnesticized before detailed interviews could begin.
Addendum 01: Test log A
Test A1 - 2018-██-14
Subjects: D-54930, approx. 5 ml SCP-XXXX-A
Procedure: Subject was instructed to consume provided SCP-XXXX-A.
Results: Subject complained that "this [EXPLETIVE]'s too hot for me" and requested a glass of milk. Request approved, test terminated.
Analysis: Are we sure this is even anomalous? - Dr. Hawkins
Test A2 - 2018-██-15
Pre-test notes: First test with any of these sauces as an actual condiment and not consumed alone, regardless of what Researcher Morgan says. - Dr. Hawkins
Subjects: D-2541, two (2) chicken tenders from on-site cafeteria, approx. 25 ml SCP-XXXX-A.
Procedure: Subject was instructed to consume one tender plain as a control and then consume the other with at least a "small coating" of SCP-XXXX-A. Subject was not previously aware of any property of SCP-XXXX-A.
Results: Subject remarked that the control tender "wasn't all that good" before proceeding to coat and consume the other tender. SCP-XXXX-A's effects immediately manifested in subject, who continued to uncontrollably "breath fire like some kind of confused dragon" for 45 minutes.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-A's anomalous effects apparently manifest in full when used with some manner of food. Further testing with SCP-XXXX-A should be done in a reasonably fireproofed environment to prevent damages to site and should focus on determining interactions with different foodstuffs.
Well, that answers our last question. - Dr. Hawkins
Test A3 - 2018-██-15
Subjects: D-8604, one slice of white bread (untoasted), approx. 10 ml SCP-XXXX-A
Procedure: SCP-XXXX-A was spread over bread prior to test. D-8604 was instructed to consume the bread.
Results: No anomalous effects manifested after an hour. Test terminated.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-A's effects only manifest in conjunction with certain foods. Further testing should be done to determine what causes the effect and what doesn't.
Pretty well identical to test A1. - Dr. Stewart
Addendum 02: Test log B
Test B1 - 2018-██-14
Subjects: D-475, approx. 5 ml SCP-XXXX-B
Procedure: Subject was instructed to consume provided SCP-XXXX-B.
Results: Subject remarked on SCP-XXXX-B's "disappointing" taste.
Analysis: At risk of repeating Dr. Hawkins, this doesn't look like anything to me. - Researcher Andrew Myers
Test B2 - 2018-██-16
Subject: D-812, one cheeseburger cut into halves, approx. 30 ml SCP-XXXX-B
Procedure: Subject was instructed to consume one half of the burger as a control, then add the provided SCP-XXXX-B to the remaining half and consume it.
Results: After consuming the experimental burger, subject noted that they felt "really tired", sat down, and refused to move. Test terminated after subject resumed walking after approximately 33 minutes.
Analysis: Consistent with test A2 in that effects manifest when used with some manner of food. Further testing to determine exact nature of effect is required.
I was worried we were going to have to drag her out of the test chamber for a minute there. - Researcher Myers
Test B3 - 2018-██-16
Subject: D-987, one slice of white bread (untoasted), approx. 10 ml SCP-XXXX-B
Procedure: Identical to test A3, with SCP-XXXX-B in place of SCP-XXXX-A.
Results: Identical to test A3.
Analysis: Similar to SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-B's effects only manifest with certain foods.
Test B4 - 2018-██-17
Subject: D-7302, one bicycle, one chicken wing coated with approximately 30 ml SCP-XXXX-B.
Procedure: Subject instructed to consume the chicken and perform at least one lap around the room on the bicycle.
Results: Subject immediately became lethargic and unwilling to complete the test after consuming the chicken. After two hours of failing to persuade subject to complete the test, test was considered terminated.
This was a huge waste of my time. - Researcher Myers
Test B4 - 2018-██-17
Subject: D-520 (equipped with shock bracelet), one 10 kg weight, one chicken wing coated with approximately 30 ml of SCP-XXXX-B.
I can't believe they cleared me for this that fast. - Researcher Myers
Procedure: Subject instructed to lift the weight, consume the chicken as provided, and the lift the weight again.
Results: Subject lifted the weight with relative ease before consuming the wing. After consumption, subject refused to complete test on account of it being "too much work". Subject warned that further noncompliance would result in bracelet being activated. Subject refused to comply. Bracelet was activated, subject reluctantly moved to weight. After three failed attempts, subject managed to lift weight a few inches before giving out.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-B not only causes lethargy, but also extremely weakens the subject. Future testing will be required to determine extent of weakness induced.
Addendum 03: Test log C
Test C1 - 2018-██-14
Subject: D-4398, approx. 5 ml SCP-XXXX-C
Procedure: Subject instructed to consume provided SCP-XXXX-C.
Results: Subject appeared to greatly enjoy SCP-XXXX-C, and requested "more of that good [EXPLETIVE], on some ribs or something." Request denied.
Analysis: Maybe it's just really good barbecue sauce? - Researcher Mallory Morgan
Test C2 - 2018-██-15
Pre-test notes: If this works, let the record show that a D-Class came up with an idea for a test before any researcher did, and that Dr. Hawkins was not in fact the first one to try this. - Researcher Morgan
Subject: D-9067, one pork rib brushed with SCP-XXXX-C.
Procedure: Subject instructed to consume the provided rib and await further instructions.
Results: Subject became aware of SCP-XXXX-C's effect before researchers, and caused severe damage to test chamber via punches, kicks, headbutts, etc. After 10 minutes, subject attempted to headbutt the wall and fainted immediately from blunt force trauma. (It is hypothesized that SCP-XXXX-C's effects on the subject ceased at this point.)
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-C manifests effects when consumed with some manner of foodstuff. These effects are limited in duration, and subjects may not be aware of their ending.
Test C3 - 2018-██-16
Subject: D-7560, one slice of white bread (untoasted), approx. 10 ml SCP-XXXX-C
Procedure: Identical to test A3, with SCP-XXXX-C in place of SCP-XXXX-A.
Results: Identical to test A3.
Analysis: Similar to SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX-C's effects only manifest with certain foods.
Are we beating a dead horse with these bread tests yet? - Researcher Morgan
Addendum 04: Incident XXXX-01
During return of items to storage following tests C4, B5, and A4, SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-C were accidentally allowed to have their contents mix. Materials from tests A4 and C4 were cleaned in the same lab, allowing residual SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-C to mix in the cleanser. The resulting compound violently reacted with the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in ██ documented injuries and █ death(s). Following this incident, tests involving the use of multiple SCP-XXXX instances were declared impractical and unnecessary, and the containment procedures were updated accordingly.
