Original Hot Sauce, 5 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this 5 fl oz Cholula bottle on grocery condiment shelves and on casual restaurant tables — a staple at taco nights, brunches, and snack-time. It feels zesty and adventurous with a familiar, slightly nostalgic kick; the pour is thin but a touch smoothed out for consistent application. The short ingredient list (peppers, vinegar, salt) points to mostly whole-food inputs, but powdered spices and xanthan gum (a stabilizer) indicate some industrial processing rather than a homemade puree.
