Sriracha isn’t spicy anymore. I tried several brands while there was a shortage and none are spicy. The new Huy Fong isn’t spicy nor is the UR Dragon. The most spicy sauce pictured is the NOTLS BBQ sauce (it’s the best jarred BBQ sauce imo). I think I may give up on Sriracha and find a new regular.

because Texas A&M ruined jalapenos.
You built up tolerance, I personally never found sriracha to be anything more than a bit spicy
Was sriracha ever spicy?
I’ve been eating sriracha for my whole life and tbh I’ve found that it’s always tasted mostly the same 🤷
Your tolerance went up. I have a bottle of Huy Fong from before the shortage and tasted it against UR sriracha purchased from Costco. The OG Huy Fong is milder than UR. It’s also old and stale as fuck.
They were forced to change procedures due to the local community pushing back against the manufacturing plant
Try Mad Dog 357 Sriracha Reaper Edition
It never was
Try the Badia brand. They use habaneros in theirs.
Law of Diminishing Returns.
I don’t think most people even use it for the heat, rather for the unique flavor.
Not a sriracha but torchbearer is my current jam. They’ll set you right in the heat and flavor department.
Black label Huy Fong. Best out there! 🫡
Siracha is more about the flavor, not heat
Sriracha was never hot, it just tasted fucking great
It wasn’t particularly hot to begin with.
I too ate way to much Sriracha to where it didn’t have the kick I wanted. I use the yellow bird habenero hot sauce for most things I would’ve previously used Sriracha on!
It’s like spicy ketchup at best
