What You Should Know

You'd spot this small bottle in the condiments aisle, on diner tables, or tucked into a packed lunch — reached for to add a sharp, vinegary kick to eggs, tacos, or soups. The vibe is practical and mildly nostalgic: a humble, reliable spicy accent rather than an indulgent treat. The ingredient list (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt) and thin, shelf-stable texture indicate minimal industrial formulation and no emulsifiers or artificial additives, consistent with a processed condiment rather than an ultra-processed product.
