“I was surprised by how great this sauce is. Not that I was expecting it to be bad, I just expected it to be good but it absolutely hit a home run! Has a little sting, fantastic flavor. Cannot get enough! Probably have to order a few more because it's going fast.”

“Its a decent sauce. Good alternative to Sriracha or Tapitio sauces nothing enough to blow my mind though, definitely an enjoyable sauce”

“This is freaking awesome. I put it on a buffalo chicken sandwich with extra sharp American cheese on a toasted plain bagel. I didn’t even make it to the table and ate the whole thing like a caveman right over the sink. The sauce was that damn good. Get the sauce and you won’t be disappointed.”

“At first i didn’t like this sauce at all, but after trying it cold from the fridge on a couple things it’s starting to grow on me. Maybe I went in with too much expectation or had a skewed perceived notion of what it would taste like, so five star is to counteract my previous mistake of a 1 star to average it at a 3.”

“I’m not typically a fan of hot sauces, but the Classic changed my mind. It’s so fresh and has such a strong tomato flavor! The kick is there, especially for someone like me who can’t isually handle spicy food, but it’s not overpowering. I love it and will definitely buy it again!”

“I can thoroughly understand why this sauce is so loved, and I can really taste the time & attention put into this bottle of red fiery goodness...but I just don't find it appealing to me. I personally am not too big on the bitter, vinegarey taste and for my Asian taste-buds, I can definitely use some more sweetness and garlic in my bottle. All that being said, I can appreciate this sauce for what it is, and I've been putting this on a lot of things from my morning fried eggs to the late night bowl of noodles...so 5 stars nonetheless.”

“Just recently bought this sauce to add to the collection of Hot Ones sauces, including the original Last Dab & the Chipotle hot sauce specifically by the Heatonist, and this Classic was an amazing add to the collection, I was expecting a cholula/franks level spice but no, this stuffs got a serious kick to it! It pleasantly surprised me, the taste to spice ratio on wings with this sauce is fantastic and it seems this sauce is getting trolled by people who have nothing better to do, I don’t believe most of these one star reviews are real, don’t take any of their advice and try the sauce if you want, I’m a big fan of the show and hot sauces and I love it.”
