You have to understand, in Rochester hot sauce is meat based and doesn't come in a bottle. Stuff that's red and is in a bottle is called Tabasco, regardless of the manufacturer. This has changed in recent years but it's still a close thing.

Yeah, that's insane. Rochester is for the insane.

I don't understand this. Sriracha is a kind of hot sauce. You're saying you've never differentiated between any hot sauces ever in your life before this? Like, there was one thing called "hot sauce" and the labels kinda looked different sometimes but it was all the same stuff?

I saw that phrase and wondered if it was made up on the spot, as news media loves a cute label.

The full moon is now known monthly as the: wolf, blood, frost, snow, super mega or a combination of those. In the old days there was either harvest or blue, and that was about it. Stupid media.

I have heard it referred to as that exactly zero times. Or every time I heard it, I instantly killed that person and then repressed the memory.

Jo-jo's is great on eggs!

The Sriracha is from the company that shared the house with us when we were downtown. Or shared the same building. You know what I mean. She is a great gal and deserves enormous success and makes the only Sriracha I like!

And Melissa told me that the toffee also comes from a Colorado-based and owned business. Enjoy, mothertrucker!

Hey! I got stuff in the mail! Thanks RobB!

I got a bottle of Jo Jo's green chile Sriracha and a big 'ol box of toffee num-nums! (eatin' one now)

This was a totally unexpected and a very welcome surprise. Now I must apply the new green goodness on all foods in the world, or in my house anyway.

Thank you thank you!!!!!

They try. Hot sauce factory vapors destroyed all the forklifts and their drivers.

Do they use forklifts to move this stuff?

Never more dangerous when they're dead. Or something like that

What the fuck is "Yellowbird"?

But yes, that list is terrible.

Can we all come together in the spirit of friendship and agree everything about this is hot (HEH) garbage?

Anyone know how long Tabasco's forklifts last? I'd imagine they'd endure extra wear and tear, what with the fumes from all those cayenne chiles.

And barrels.

It's deja vu all over again with the forklift anecdote

Tabasco is still fucking amazing, [/quote]
In a History Channel "Modern Marvels" episode on the making of Tabasco sauce, they told how in the company warehouse they prepare Tabasco as a concentrate in wooden barrels, then line the top with a layer of salt, to absorb some of the fumes. They are then put into storage for a few years to age and mellow, then it's decanted and cut with other liquids when bottling to bring the strength down.

Employees have to work in full-body hazmat suits with respirator when moving, loading or unloading barrels because the escaping fumes will cause serious respiratory and skin problems. They have to replace their forklift trucks rapidly because the concentrated Tabasco fumes wear them out. Typical usage time in a commercial/industrial warehouse for a new forklift is 15-20 years. Typical useful lifetime for a new forklift in the McIlhenny Co. New Iberia, LA Tabasco aging facility: three years.
