Are you consuming a bottle a day? It’s like $6 and lasts a month. |

| I love hot sauces. But, I think I'm allergic to something in there. Can't figure out what it is or is it the specific type of peppers. |

I really don't like chohiula and I can't pinpoint why.
Nando's is a great suggestion but it's extremely lemon-ey. I love to tailor hot sauces to cuisines: - Sriracha or Fly By Jing Zhong or Chili Crisp for asian - I also like Sriracha for Mexican, but Tabasco is also good, and so is Chipotle in adobo (not a brand just a flavor) - Nandos for chicken/potato/sandwich stuff - Crushed red pepper in vinaigrettes for greek or mediterranean |
And it used to be $3. Actually $3.99 for the big bottle. And yes, I use a lot of it, but that’s not the point. Why do so many of you like to downplay the exploding prices of food and everything else? You can afford to pay double and triple? Well most of us can’t. |
His Buffalo Wing sauce is even better. |

Sriracha.
Don't listen to haters. Sriracha is not overated because white people discovered it one day and decided to put it into everything. Best hot sauce in there because it is a perfect balance of flavor and spiciness. The CEO is obsessive compulsive about quality and has refused many times to sell the company for a lot of money. It isn't about the money for him, but the quality of the product. |
Cholula is a bit too vinegary. It isn't balanced enough. On tacos it works, because they're fatty and very salty, so a more vinegary flavor helps balance, but Cholula doesn't go well with a lot of other things imo. The green one though is better than the red one. |

I like Sriracha for stir fry sauces, breakfast burritos, deviled eggs, etc.
We use Crystal for buffalo chicken anything. |
Sriracha is great on some things but it's got too much sugar to be an all purpose sauce, and it's certainly not "perfectly balanced." Definitely a very consistent and high quality product though. |
| Frank's is the nastiest hot sauce. Gross. |
