      It’s the Pabst or maybe Bud-light of hot sauces. I’ll use it if it’s the only option, but give me 5 bucks and 5 minutes at any grocery store, and I’ll find somthing better.

      So your personal preferences dictate whether a product is good or not, and whether other people should also like it (“I do not like Tabasco, therefore its quality is shit”). Right. I’ll be sure to defer to you in my future personal tastes. 🙄

      This is not a pissing contest about who can hold the most Carolina Reapers in. It’s a really subjective thing, which is why when the other commenter implied it was about hotness scale (which is valid foe those who go by it when choosing their preferred hot sauce), I personally go more by flavor. At least the other comment, while somewhat in condescending tone, was a way more productive opinion, backed with sources and actual measurements. 🤷‍♂️

      Cheers.

        What a bizarre comment. People don’t need to have what opinions are explained, do they?

          Bizarre is hijacking jokes and memes to virtue-signal and crow about what you think is good or not. And don’t conflate personal opinions with objective quality, that’s the mistake many people make that triggers an explanation on what opinions are and their worth.

          Do like the others and take that frustration elsewhere, as I didn’t engage with this meme post to battle semantics with frustrated reddit users. That’s my opinion for you and of you, do what you will with it.

        I didn’t say anything about heat, just that tabasco is not a high quality sauce - It’s basically just red vinegar. If that’s what you’re into, enjoy. But you’re missing out on the good stuff if you’re settling for that

          The quality is fine. It’s just vinegar, salt and peppers. It’s consistent and the peppers are aged in oak barrels. You may not like it and that’s fine too, I don’t keep it in my kitchen either, but it’s not low quality.

            I used to like it, but more recently I’ve tried other brands and now tabasco just tastes bland in comparison. Last I bought it, I had to empty half the bottle in the dish and didn’t even taste it. I know they have different hotness scales, not sure if the one I bought was the hottest out there, but it was the hottest they had at the store.

          Damn, the irony and gaslighting, not to mention selective reading. And on such a small and insignificant topic, no less. Quite the teen behaviour.

          You’ll have to get in line and convince me if you want me to engage with your cheap attempts at proving yourself. Same for any other frustrated teen wanting to engage in keyboard warrior-ing.

          Don’t take it so hard, champ. This is a friendly and funny meme thread about spicy sauces. Such a shame to hijack jokes to derail it into pettiness like that. Reddit much? 🤔
