Original Hot Sauce, 5 FZ
What You Should Know
You’d spot a 5 oz bottle of CHOLULA Original Hot Sauce in the grocery condiments aisle, on a diner table, or in the fridge door — ready to liven up eggs, tacos, sandwiches, or a bowl of chili. It gives off an approachable, nostalgic-but-adventurous vibe: simple, bright heat that feels like a staple at casual meals. The short ingredient list (peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic, spices) suggests mostly whole culinary ingredients, but the added xanthan gum and commercial bottling indicate industrial processing to stabilize texture and shelf life.
