Original Hot Sauce, 5 FZ
What You Should Know
You’ll spot a 5 fl oz bottle of CHOLULA Original in the store’s hot-sauce aisle or on diner and kitchen tables — a go-to for bright, tangy heat on tacos, eggs, and snacks. It feels practical and slightly nostalgic, adding an adventurous but familiar kick to everyday meals. The short, pepper-forward ingredient list is balanced by powdered seasonings and a stabilizer (xanthan gum) that deliver consistent texture and shelf stability, which hints at industrial processing.
