I'll admit, they got me pegged. Franks is my preferred hot sauce. I prefer the flavor of a cayenne pepper to most others. Never cared much for jalapeno peppers. There are some gourmet brands that I also enjoy, but as far as the mainstream sauces, I prefer Franks.

I've tried many... one of my favorite brands is Gringo Bandito.

Created by The Offspring's Dexter Holland, they come in many varieties and my fav. is the Spicy Yellow.

I like Frank's sweet chili sauce, never tried the hot sauce. Truthfully, I can't handle anything that's too hot. 🥵 Texas Pete isn't all that hot, but I only have it occasionally.

Normally habanero is way too hot for me. But one thing I enjoy doing is getting these bottles of white wine vinegar

And chopping up about 1/3 pound of fresh habanero and stuffing it down the throats of the bottles, and then letting it sit in the back of the refrigerator for 4-6 months. if you fill the sphere area with peppers, and then pour back in enough vinegar to fill to the brim, it's perfect.

And I enjoy putting the end result on omelettes, steak,...you name it.

Habaneros sure are hot though, before the acid in the vinegar neutralizes some of it

Once I decided to make up 4 bottles at once. chopped up like a pound and a half of habaneros....and during the preparation I needed to go to the restroom. But I held off until I had everything in the bottles, By then the trip to the restroom had accelerated to an emergency. So I didn't bother to wash my hands before using the RR. Huge mistake.

I started feeling a little uncomfortable within about 3 minutes afterwards. And it just kept getting hotter, and hotter....I can't think of any time that I have ever been in as much pain, it was awful.

I have to try that, and many of the others in the original post.

I have a small jar of Chile Today-Hot Tamale Habanero seasoning that's around 22 years old and I'm still not finished with it... and it's still good.
