My son puts it on EVERYTHING - and I mean everything - that’s why I have unopened bottles on my kitchen shelves. We go through a lot of it. Haven’t had to buy it in a while b/c I am stocked up - will check the availability and price of it next time I go to Ralphs.

I live in the area where it’s made so if we can’t get it here...

We also like “Truff” - which is a hot sauce with truffles in it, made locally - I got one for a gift - checked the price and it’s $15.00/bottle (!). Found a coupon for $10 off so I ended up buying another bottle - really really good. Told family to use it sparingly (which fell on deaf ears...).

Okay, why can’t they make it spicy?

The Tabasco version isn’t quite as good, but it is an acceptable substitute until Mexico can grow some more peppers.

My preference is Dat’l Do It from Florida. Whenever I’m in Florida I go to a Publix store and buy every bottle they have

Or maybe one could just switch to food that isnt so bad that it needs to be covered up.

"Bay Area eateries are struggling to keep bottles of the hot sauce on their tables thanks to customers who can’t find Sriracha at any grocery store."

I live in the Mohawk Valley in NY State. My local Walmart has it. Had to buy it for a recipe. I guess they're not bright enough to order the stuff online, if they can't find it in their local stores.

“Okay, why can’t they make it spicy?”

Its made the way it is supposed to be made. The primary source of the “heat” is red jalapeno peppers, which are quite mild according to the Scoville Scale. If you want a hotter pepper sauce then buy something uses cayenne or habanero peppers as the base.

It’s San Fransisco so are people stealing it to use on their food. Or are they putting it up their butts ?

” You know, you put 10 socks in the dryer and only 9 come out.”

Read a short scifi story years ago. Some engineer was tired of the missing sock in the dryer. Did some calculations and figured out that at just the right heat, spin and static electricity charge a hole into an alternate universe opened up in the dryer just big enough for a sock to go thru. Somewhere someone was putting in 10 socks and getting 11 out.
