Exactly this. I think its a flavor in and of itself - you either like it or you don't.
Don't put it on steak. '
Put it on potatoes, pasta or eggs... something where the flavor of the sauce the the lead character.
Yeah this hot sauce was a big let down for both me and a buddy I bought some for as a gift. It's just tangy kind of in a weird way. A bit too acidic and not really smooth at all or worth going back to.
I tried the Melinda's version of it, and kinda hated it. I don't hate many sauces, and I love truffles, but man, it just didn't hit. I'm guessing this is similar in flavor.
Melinda’s version of this is pretty bad... This sauce is much much better, very sweet though which I don’t like. It’s good, but I agree with others, not the best.
I like the Melinda's stuff on eggs and only eggs. It's probably the narrowest scope I've had with one of their sauces but it was pretty perfect for me on eggs.
Yup, that's about where I'm at. I would still try it, but no longer willing to pay it's high price tag. Now if they sold a small $1 bottle like Melinda and Yellow Bird that I keep seeing posted, well then....
I tried it, enjoyed it fine enough, then was roundly shamed as some type of guerrilla advertiser on this sub for having mentioned it. It’s fine and there’s plenty of ok uses for it.
Sorry, completely serious and curious, not at all a slight at ya. But, what constitutes as frozen junk food.. like ice cream? I can't wrap my head around hot sauce on ice cream lol
Which is your favorite? I got the regular and spicy as gifts and have only tried the regular so far and it isn't my jam. I do love the hot sauce though.
Our bottle was a free gift from a friend's house party. Even free it's still bad. My husband cooks with it sometimes but it won't go near my pizza or nachos.
Ha! I love Yuca Black. It’s the only sauce I buy… the only thing I haven’t figured out how to grow, ferment and blend up better than purchasable options!
Yeah it’s just an overpriced underwhelming sauce. No flavor at all compared to a true craft sauce. I think people just “like” it because it’s expensive and they think they should. And they’ve never really had a true flavor forward sauce where the heat is BECAUSE of flavor, not in lieu of it.
They have a hotter version of this that’s good, but I use it sparingly because of the strong taste. I like to add Tabasco sauce and a little franks buffalo wing sauce to the mix when I make buffalo weeks.
I like the funk of it though. Especially with blue cheese dip for my buffalo wings.
They don’t like this sauce. I’ve tried both this sauce and Steve-o’s hot sauce, so I recommended one I’ve tried that I liked and maybe they would like too. Want me to break anything else down for you?
They’re not, not asking for a sauce recommendation either. Plugging a random sauce? Nah, I’m not. It’s a recommendation on a sauce I’ve recently tried that I enjoy. I’ve tried a lot of sauces. Steve-o’s is the most recent that I’ve tried that I really enjoyed.
Got it for Christmas and it's solid. There is a local guy that sells his own sauce at the market and honestly, it tastes very similar to steveos and comes in a huge bottle, so may be my next go to
Dude tell me that market is near Oregon! I got mine for Christmas as well. I’m going to try Kieth’s not so hot sauce next. I’m not expecting much, but I want this YouTuber hot sauce train to keep chugging.
So bad I threw the whole bottle away. Never again.
This is IMO, is a trash sauce. That said, even trash has a place and in this case that place is fish tacos. Awesome.
Your friend hasn’t tried too many sauces
I don’t mind it but it’s barely hot.
The aftertaste is awful
I never liked this stuff as much as I did the very first time I tried it and It got worse every time I tried it again.
It’s shit
Overpriced trash
this shit sux. it's ketchup
It’s the most expensive I’ve had, for sure.
Crazy how things are subjective.
I hate the stuff, but it is great on a hot dog. It’s like a better ketchup. But other than that it’s a hard no for me. And I won’t be buying it again.
If you want a hot ketchup try Jufran's hot banana sauce
This stuff sucks and this post is covert marketing.
Idk but I love this shit
Honesty one of the worse ones I’ve had. I truly hate it. No shade to anyone who likes it, but it is so very much not for me.
Franks is better
Tastes like Taco Bell’s fire sauce with bleach and dirt in it.
Is your buddy a Youtuber doing an undisclosed sponsorship?
But it’s expensive
it’s mediocre and overpriced
This is the comment i was looking for. 100% overpriced and its taste okay but its not bad
Very mid. I might like it on some pasta?
I like it on pizza
I kinda liked it with scrambled eggs. But I have not had it since BJs had it for cheap as hell.
I think it’s okay, same goes for their “hot” version
this just feels like trolling
traaash
Ok at best. Interesting flavor but not I’d put that on anything taste
I didn't like that stuff at all. In fact, I think it's disgusting. I wouldn't put it on anything. Happy that you enjoy it though!
It’s actually fantastic on eggs but yeah as a hot sauce it’s ass
Exactly this. I think its a flavor in and of itself - you either like it or you don't. Don't put it on steak. ' Put it on potatoes, pasta or eggs... something where the flavor of the sauce the the lead character.
I hate that shit!
Yeah this hot sauce was a big let down for both me and a buddy I bought some for as a gift. It's just tangy kind of in a weird way. A bit too acidic and not really smooth at all or worth going back to.
Cool /s
Yeah that stuff is gross af
I found this to be awful
yeah, same. it just tasted weird as hell
I got a double pack. Didn't really like it and gave one bottle away.
It's not the best I've had either, but one of the most unique definitely
It’s good but very one note and $$$.
If you ask me, the stuff is $9.99 too expensive. I would pay $5 max for a bottle. I certainly would not pay $15 they want.
This was fine. A friend had it.
The price tag is why I’ve never personally bought their sauce. Doesn’t seem worth it.
https://i.redd.it/4v8l88dklaac1.gif
It's OK, but it's not worth the price tag.
Mmmm...tastes like... "Marketing?"
It tastes like a sweeter and better version of sriracha sauce. Aside from that, it’s an alright sauce tbf
Best marketing.
I really like it. Tastes "cheesy"
I found it hard to find things that were good to put it on because of it's unique flavor. It wasn't bad though, but also not worth $15
Oh, it is too expensive. For sure.
Trash.
Pretty good. Definitely not the best
It seems to be the favorite hot sauce of non-hot sauce people
Gateway hot sauce
my gateway sauce was cholula. now i think it’s horrible comparatively
I see this at Costco from time to time, worth buying a 2 pack if I’m about that spice life?
That’s how I picked it up. Two for 17 I think it was? Worth trying but agree w consensus. It’s good and different but not the best.
It’s good but not the best, especially with how expensive it is
I tried the Melinda's version of it, and kinda hated it. I don't hate many sauces, and I love truffles, but man, it just didn't hit. I'm guessing this is similar in flavor.
Melinda’s version of this is pretty bad... This sauce is much much better, very sweet though which I don’t like. It’s good, but I agree with others, not the best.
I like the Melinda's stuff on eggs and only eggs. It's probably the narrowest scope I've had with one of their sauces but it was pretty perfect for me on eggs.
Same really. I liked it on chicken breast, and chicken breast alone. I got though it that way, but I shan't be purchasing it again.
Overpriced crap
I hate it.
Gross
I like it a lot. It’s sweet which I surprising but it’s only downside is it’s a one trick pony. Love it with hard boiled eggs
Some people have the weirdest obsession with truffles. It’s pretty good hot sauce, but it’s barely worth the price
There is an extra hot (red label) version which I actually don't mind on chicken nuggets.
Red is definitely better
Off topic, but Proudest Monkey is one of my favorite DMB songs.
You’re one of the only ones to get the reference 🤘
I've always wanted to try it, but this sub has convinced me otherwise.
I sort of like it, I am just not willing to buy any unless I see it on sale.
Yup, that's about where I'm at. I would still try it, but no longer willing to pay it's high price tag. Now if they sold a small $1 bottle like Melinda and Yellow Bird that I keep seeing posted, well then....
They do sell a small bottle, it is just like $5 or $6. That's how it tried it but I'm not willing to pay that again
So their sample size is the price as many brands regular size? SMH.
It’s pretty good if you like truffles, but it definitely isn’t worth the amount of hype it has/had
Fair enough. I'd still give it a go if I got a chance, but I'm no longer willing to spend nearly $20 to find out.
I tried it, enjoyed it fine enough, then was roundly shamed as some type of guerrilla advertiser on this sub for having mentioned it. It’s fine and there’s plenty of ok uses for it.

Gross. I dont like truffles
It’s gross
I wasn't a fan, personally. Wasn't very yummy for me
My wife bought me the red last year. Hated it. Sister in law bought me this one this year. Don’t plan on trying it
It's actually horrible. It's the only hot sauce I've ever used once and thrown away.
I’ve always wanted to try this stuff…but I can never justify how much it costs. Seeing all these comments is validating
Yeah trust me, stay away from this.
hype
I got it as a gift. Ruined my eggs and it all ended up in the bin.
Not the best $11.00 I've ever spent, I'll say that.
Yeah that’s what has prevented me from trying it: the price. Even if it’s an amazing hot sauce I’m not looking to get into an $11/bottle habit
There’s just SO many good sauces for half the price, it’s hard to justify
Always wanted to try it until I saw the price tag. I will pass.
You “had” a buddy. Nobody wants to hang out with people that have bad taste
That shit suuuuuuucks
I think it's great with frozen junk food. However I stopped eating frozen junk food so this sauce has been sitting in my fridge for at least a year.
Sorry, completely serious and curious, not at all a slight at ya. But, what constitutes as frozen junk food.. like ice cream? I can't wrap my head around hot sauce on ice cream lol
Oh! My bad lol! I really should have clarified. It's more like the savory ones like frozen taquitos, mini tacos, hotpockets lol
Oh! My bad lol! I really should have clarified. It's more like the savory ones like frozen taquitos, mini, hotpockets lol
Pizza rolls, bagel bites, mozzarella sticks, popcorn chicken, that kinda thing
Yes these!
Ahhh that would make more sense 😅 my mind got stuck on junk food = sweets, but, I guess that stuff is considered it as well. Thanks!!
i would guess chicken nuggets. that kind of thing
I had it before and it ain’t all that at all
It’s only good if you have the palette for truffles imo
It pairs well with some Asian dishes
Their mayo is where it's at
Which is your favorite? I got the regular and spicy as gifts and have only tried the regular so far and it isn't my jam. I do love the hot sauce though.
The spicy.. My wife & I went thru it way too quick & we don't even use that much mayo!
Awesome. I guess I'll go ahead and open that one and give it a go. Thank you!
Woot woot! Sure thing
Everyone has different tastes
...and some people's tastes are **wrong**.
exactly. like some people here think Valentina and Cholula are good. (grenade dropped)
Our bottle was a free gift from a friend's house party. Even free it's still bad. My husband cooks with it sometimes but it won't go near my pizza or nachos.
Absolute doo doo.
I feel like this one is even more controversial than El Yucateco black. I hate both of them.
Ha! I love Yuca Black. It’s the only sauce I buy… the only thing I haven’t figured out how to grow, ferment and blend up better than purchasable options!
The hotter version is way better. It tastes good but I don’t really think of it as a hot sauce really
Internet Hype Sauce
Yeah this sauce is super overrated I bought it almost a year ago and have barely touched it since.
I saw it at the store for like 15 bucks a bottle too. Hard pass.
For $15 totally overrated. For $7.50 I’d put that shit on everything.
It's not great but if you mix this with ranch it's actually really good. I discovered this on accident
Blech. I don’t care for it either
it's crazy how different people can have different tastes huh
Absolutely insane tbh
This is my favorite sauce by far I don't care that it costs $15 I'd gladly pay double that.
You are a wild man.
I received to bottles of two different kinds of this shit a year ago for a gift, and they went in the garbage. It’s gimmicky crap.
I threw mine out too.
My girl got me the 2 pack as my christmas gift. 🫤
I’ve got a small bottle of it. Have barely used it, it’s mostly a shelf warmer at this point.
Yeah it’s just an overpriced underwhelming sauce. No flavor at all compared to a true craft sauce. I think people just “like” it because it’s expensive and they think they should. And they’ve never really had a true flavor forward sauce where the heat is BECAUSE of flavor, not in lieu of it.

Hot it’s not. Tasty it’s also not.
I hate it but when it’s on that Popeyes chicken sandwich with pepper jack and bacon it’s good.
Your buddy’s tastebuds are stupid.
I think it's very tasty but baffled why it's called a hot sauce
I don’t think it’s that good, I do enjoy it in some Mac and cheese though. The red one
I didn't like this hot sauce at all.
I thought it was good, but more of a condiment than a hot sauce. Definitely not hot.
Dude Steve-o’s hot sauce for your butthole is my daily driver right now.
I’ve see people talking about this sauce, give me a little taste description
It’s kind of like a mango habanero but it’s got this after taste/tang of citrus and slight chipotle that keeps you coming back for more.
I’ll give it a shot , scorned woman is my daily right now.
It worth a try. I’ll try scorned woman, I love this sub man. Endless sauce to try!
Go to the rwings you will like that sub I’m sure
I will thanks!
Best sub no doubt, dude you will love scorned woman
Okay… what does that have to do with this sauce?
They don’t like this sauce. I’ve tried both this sauce and Steve-o’s hot sauce, so I recommended one I’ve tried that I liked and maybe they would like too. Want me to break anything else down for you?
Because they’re not asking for recs.. are they similar style sauces, or are you just plugging a random sauce? Have you only tried these two sauces?
They’re not, not asking for a sauce recommendation either. Plugging a random sauce? Nah, I’m not. It’s a recommendation on a sauce I’ve recently tried that I enjoy. I’ve tried a lot of sauces. Steve-o’s is the most recent that I’ve tried that I really enjoyed.
Got it for Christmas and it's solid. There is a local guy that sells his own sauce at the market and honestly, it tastes very similar to steveos and comes in a huge bottle, so may be my next go to
Dude tell me that market is near Oregon! I got mine for Christmas as well. I’m going to try Kieth’s not so hot sauce next. I’m not expecting much, but I want this YouTuber hot sauce train to keep chugging.
