Now that’s a divisive issue. Heat: Melinda’s. Flavor: Trader Joe’s.

The Melinda’s because they’re pretty consistent and easy to find. Trader Joe’s house brand products while they are pretty good too, they are often discontinued without notice. I find it irritating.

Melinda’s for me. I go through a bottle of ghost pepper a month lol

Melinda. TJ’s is flavorful, but the heat is mild. Melinda’s know their stuff.

Meli’s probably clears but that TJ ain’t no joke.

Damn, the two I have in my fridge in addition to my own homemade sauce. They all have their uses and there’s no wrong answer

I haven’t had Trader Joe’s but I love Melindas, so I’m picking that one

TJ all day. I don’t even care about Melinda’s screwing over marie sharp I just think their sauces all have a terrible taste, I think it’s how it’s fermented or something. I have never understood how so many people on this sub love them so much.

Both in my top 5 but gonna give it to TJs. More flavor

I love both, but for the price and what you’re getting, TJ’s is a fucking deal at $2.99!
Affectionate_ruin508
Trader Joe’s has better flavor IMO.

TJ’s hands down. Won’t spend a penny on Melinda’s after what went down with Marie Sharp. No quarter for thieves!

Tjs for sure here, love that sauce

Melinda’s all day long. They have a Roasted Garlic and Habanero that is my daily driver right now.
