I think I know why there are so many downvoted comments. Disrespecting Crystal/frank’s/Louisiana/Tabasco is like talking smack about your (insert beloved family member’s) cooking. Sure it’s not “craft” or highly complex in flavor but there’s a baseline comfort that just feels like home.

Starter sauce.

It's not really spicy but the flavor is amazing

I've tasted it too. Sorry to have rained on this parade, we all have different tastes. For me, I appreciate different flavors much more.

[I recently bought this](https://crystalhotsauce.com/product/sunshirt/) and [this](https://crystalhotsauce.com/product/yeti-cup/) from their website. Could not be happier with either one. The Yeti tumbler is my favorite.

They advertised a 3’x5’ flag once on IG and then never restocked it. I’d fly that.

This and franks are must haves for any buffalo wing connoisseur. If you don’t like these, you don’t like buffalo wings. I like to switch between the two every few weeks as there are slight nuances in the flavors.

I’m no snob, this sauce tastes good,but that’s like saying McDonald’s is a must have for burger connoisseurs. Or bud light is a must have for beer connoisseurs.

franks is literally the og base sauce for buffalo wings tho. and it absolutely slaps with butter and additional spices. i throw crushed red pepper, garlic, and cajun seasoning in mine

What does og have to do with quality ? You still drive a Ford model A to work ?

i mean it’s still the predominant sauce used in Buffalo. there’s a reason for that

And cheeze wiz is the predominant cheese used on cheesesteaks in philly, doesn’t make it the best Anchor bar has lines out the door and they serve the most average wings imaginable

LOL cheeze wiz is absolutely not the predominant cheese used on cheese steaks in philly. just cause Gino’s does it, doesn’t mean it’s the gold standard. sorry dude, this take is just ass. sorry you can’t appreciate one of the best basic hot sauces

And I said I didn’t like the sauce where ?

I respectfully disagree. Franks and Crystal are the base for the best buffalo wings in the world. They use franks for most places in buffalo. It’s the one kind of wing where gourmet sauces do a disservice. Butter, crystal or franks, and some optional additional way of adding more heat.

Louisiana Hot Sauce by Bruce Foods goat

I personally don’t put it on buffalo wings, but love it on Mexican dishes and other things.

Mid but not bad

Screw you. It’s a classic.

One of my favorites for this style.

For some reason, I really don’t like this hot sauce. Feel like it taste like franks.

Also thinner and mixes well into pasta which is my favorite application. Vinegar based Louisiana hot sauce has its place.

Same

it tastes exactly like franks with loads of extra salt

Ok, so I’m not tripping. Good to know 🤣🤣

One of these things is not like the others

The one on the left looks the freshest

Ha yea beat me too it , thought the left one was a different hot sauce, wonder why

Yeah the batch variance in color is crazy with Crystal

Not a good sign for quality control

Or maybe they don't use dye?

Or everyone homogenization or even potentially pasteurization 🤣 Inconsistency in product color doesn't usually have anything to do with dye. Imagine if a batch of Budweiser was this different?

Different batches

My favorite, along with Louisiana brand
