    Maybe not the Tabasco Sriracha if you're looking for that Sriracha flavor. It's not bad at all but it basically tastes like Sriracha flavored Tabasco sauce. That could be a good thing, there are a ton of Tabasco sauce devotees out there, just don't expect it to taste like a proper Sriracha sauce.

    A lot of these alternative Sriracha brands seem to have a ton of extra ingredients vs the original which puts me off from buying them.

      yeah half of them are spicy mayonnaise, which on top of not being what I was looking for, have a shorter shelf life. I have adhd, I can't handle that

        I'm fine with people eating mayo. I hate it it, but it's not my mouth so I don't care. I'm not ok with people labeling their mayonnaise trash a hot sauce. It's not ok.

      Tabasco makes really good stuff. as a kid I always felt like the standard Tabasco had too much of a vinegar:heat ratio then I discovered their habanero sauce. it's the perfect thing for just increasing heat without adding flavors apart from peppers

        Yup agree with you there, Tabasco sauces are great. Not sure that I'd call their Sriracha an actual alternative vs the original Sriracha sauce but aside from that there's nothing wrong with their version.

        I do like that they didn't add a ton of extra ingredients to their version, simple ingredient list = better IMO.
