“Wasn't happy with this one. It does have a low heat score but the flavor to me felt almost nonexistent unless I doused the food in it. I've purchased several different Hot Sauces from Heatonist and this one is probably the only one I'm not satisfied with.”

“Maybe if you sell one large bottle like 32 ounces for 20 dollars I would buy it”

“Hola fans of hot sauces! If you feel like you need a new go-to sauce to carry with you, then imho look no further! I bought a bottle on a whim and I found it to be the perfect spot of spice when in a bind. Say, for instance, when the in-laws decide that since boiling everything was good enough for government work, then it was somehow good enough for dinner or when "meatless Monday" somehow also threw the seasonings out with the bath water, Hot Ones' Classic has just the hint of heat that'll give those tasteless taters the boost to save your taste buds any trouble. But, in the words of a wise man, "you don't have to take my word for it". Buy a bottle today and see how this spicy, savory sauce will save you the trouble of filling your pockets full of mutton-filled napkins. Cheers! (Not sponsored, just a fan)”

“This sauce has decent flavor but all I taste is apple cider vinegar. It’s unfortunate because everyone always loves this sauce on the show but I don’t taste the hype. Maybe a bad batch? Can’t say for sure.. but what I can say is LOS CALIENTES IS AMAZING”

“This is my new favorite go-to hot sauce. It goes amazing on pizza, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, etc. It adds the perfect flavor with just the right amount of heat. For reference, Frank's Red Hot was my go-to for a couple of years. My only request would be to make a bigger bottle!”

“this replaces tabasco in my hot sauce collection. less of the overpowering vinegar of the old staple and more chili flavor. Great topper for eggs and mexican fare when you're looking for a little kick rather than flaming spice—when flavor is the predominate consideration.”

“It’s like Cholula (they’re both made from Arbol peppers) but with more heat, flavor and texture. It’s a great table sauce or a starter for people that can’t handle much heat. I’ll be keeping it on hand. A favorite.”
