Give me your spiciest hot sauce takes! Ones that will have the comments looking like this (while still being civil)
I’ll start:
- I've tried a bunch of Marie Sharp’s (original, smoked, Beware, and "specialties") and didn’t like any of them
- I think Yellowbird sauces are overrated
- Aardvark is versatile and can go on anything
- Paying $14+ for one bottle from Heatonist is ridiculous!

Tobesco saoce is the best saoce in the entire world
Red pepper flakes are often a better option than any hot sauce.
Tabasco sauce is the only good “grocery store” band, otherwise you’re better off just learning how to make your own hot sauce. It’ll taste better and if you’re not lazy it’s easier than making your average weeknight dinner.
El yucatec and yellow bird are overrated and have crappy flavors
Sriracha is unmatched by any other hot sauce.
When I ask for hot sauce at a restaurant and their only offerings are Tabasco and Cholula I’m extremely disappointed.
Tobacco is garbage
El Yucateco is overrated at any price point.
Taco Bell hot sauce is delicious
Tabasco scorpion is wayyyy too sweet. Tastes like candy. Sugar, Guava and pineapple in ingredients so it makes sense. Hate this sauce since I literally never want to make my food taste sweet. Was downvoted like crazy last time I commented that, so apparently a very unpopular opinion here.
I love Da Bomb and I dip into a little dab.
Siracha is gross.
I think sriracha tastes terrible
Tabasco is like peppers dragged their sweaty nuts through some vinegar, and left the mixture out in the sun.
Secret aardvark tastes like shit mixed with cumin
franks and tobasco are fine and sufficient
Even the worst Sriracha sauces are better than most actual hot sauces.
Vinegar based hot sauce sucks
Caribbean-style scotch bonnet pineapple hot sauce is the GOAT.
Tabasco is the Honda Accord of hot sauces for a reason. I can get crazy with all these craft hot sauces but ultimately if I have to grab just one it’s gonna be Tabasco. Taste great on most everything.
It does the best job of adding heat when I want it without being too crazy with flavor. Also vinegar makes things taste good.
Taco bell Diablo is literally my favorite, I could eat it on anything
I agree with your takes
Tingly Ted’s is goated
A living breathing testicle…THE FUTURE IS NIGH
I refrigerate all my sauces. That shit degrades. I don’t care what the bottle says.
Cholula is bad spicy vinegar.
Ketchup is my favorite.
Da bomb has a good flavor underneath the BS.
Franks is garbage
I like salty vinegar almost as much as spiciness
