Used to not even be able to handle a taco, this year I've been on a spicy kick. Franks red hot wasn't doing it for me anymore so I upgraded to scorpion sauce, and it packs quite a kick!

My lips are a bit numb ngl
To be fair, hot sauce that is mostly vinegar isn't much of a hot sauce. Hot take or no, vinegar serves to "open up" your palate to the capsaicin and thus allows for less to seem more — though, one can usually tell corners've been cut by the sharp note and hollow-bodied flavor.
tl;dr: Tabasco is vinegar in a red dress, and she might know a couple salsa moves, but she sure can't dance.
Aww that's a shame, have any good suggestions as a conneseuir? At the store I was looking for something with ghost pepper (maybe that was me being a bit cocky) but I couldn't find it and settled for this
I apologize if I came across a bit pompous there. Vinegar sauces have their use, for sure, and I wish you well on your journey! I'm currently trying my hand at W. African and Middle Eastern spices, and highly recommend Hot Ones for podcast entertainment in the hot sauce realm. 🖖🏽
Also, word to the wise, don't joke around with SE Asian restaurants by asking for "non-white" Hot. It will ruin your next 3-5 days. 🥲
For pure heat: https://www.amazon.com/Daves-Adjustable-Heat-Hot-Sauce/dp/B000JCXIRQ
I really like the flavor of this one, but it's vinegar based and not SUPER hot: https://www.amazon.com/Gringo-Bandito-Sauce-Spicy-Yellow/dp/B08CFM9KQY
You're 100% correct, but sometimes it hits the spot. It's a terrible all-purpose sauce, but it some cases it's exactly what's called for.
And I'm saving that tl;dr. Genius!
Secret Aardvark good and available from Amazon.
I recommend Cholula and Herdez Chipotle salsa cremosa.
My girlfriend loves Cholula, I think we have the garlic flavored one right now, I could try it but I think I need to give my tongue a break
A bit pricier than Cholula, Melinda is a great hot sauce brand. Spicy and tasty
Green cholula is where it's at. Not spicy but damn is it tasty
Check out Pepper Palace
I'm beginning to learn the proper way to eat this is just dip a little end of my chicken in it, otherwise it overwhelms the flavor
Valentina's my jam, glad you found yours.
Valentina on some plain lays is a lovely snack.
For something different, citrusy, even sweet, I suggest trying High River’s Rogue.
Oh, interesting, I haven't seen or had that one. Will check it out. 🔥
You gotta get your starting lineup. You need a Louisiana sauce like Crystal, a sriracha, a Mexican sauce like cholula (I personally prefer habanero so I recommend marie sharpe), an classic habanero for pizza like yellow bird and something to kick your butt like that scorpion sauce. I like Melinda’s.
