A few years ago, I bought a bottle of Scorpion Death Stalker hot sauce from pepper palace, and I was really good! So spicy I could barely eat it. I ordered the same thing and now it’s totally different. Very liquidy and not very spicy, more like generic hot sauce you’d buy at the grocery store. For $20 a bottle I expected more. It’s not “bad” just not nearly as good as I remember. The main ingredients are vinegar and tomato paste. Then habenero peppers, then lemon juice, then (barely any) scorpion peppers. Anyone else experience this or am I just looking back with rose-tinted glasses? Pictures below for reference.

20 dollars!?! It’s main ingredients are tomatoes and habaneros. Not worth more than scorpion tabasco.
How did that label get approved, looks like the skeleton has a scorpion shlong lol
I’d be disappointed too if I bought a scorpion hot sauce and scorpion peppers were only the 6th ingredient out of 10.
I’ve been disappointed by Pepper Palace in the past, never went back.
I too remember it fondly from years ago. I wonder if anyone has an older bottle to compare the ingredients?
Disappointed by everything a pepper palace. Place is a rip off.
I had my first pepper palace experience earlier this year. I wasn’t aware that they only carry their own sauces. I had gone to try and find a new bottle of Last Dab. Dude immediately told me it was full of extracts and artificial ingredients and that they carried much better sauces and people who like Last Dab have terrible taste. So, yeah, that was an interesting introduction to their shop. I tried a few sauces, but didn’t enjoy them. Either not hot enough or just way too sweet. Also, I checked the ingredients on my OG Last Dab and there was no extract.
1st ingredient is vinegar and doesn’t get to scorpion peppers until the 6th ingredient.
Scorpion death stalker, more like vinegar tomato habanero let down juice.
Definitely not one of their better sauces. Honestly none of their scorpion sauces stand out.
Pepper Palace does the bare minimum for their recipes.
PP is the worst place to buy sauce. They rip off recipes and add a ton of water and vinegar to the bottles then charge upwards of $20.
