What You Should Know

You’d spot this bottle in the condiment aisle, on a backyard grill table, or slathered on tacos at a late-night snack run — it reads like a bold, craft hot sauce with a cheeky name. The vibe is adventurous and slightly artisanal, promising bright, smoky heat but also everyday practicality. The ingredient list and stabilizers (modified food starch, calcium chloride, added cane sugar) hint at a shelf-stable, smoothed texture and industrial processing rather than a single-ingredient pantry pepper paste.
