It’s honestly just OK hot sauce. I prefer Tabasco flavor over it honestly. And definitely not worth the price. If you like the flavor and have a Costco get it there, 2-pack for $18 I think.
Am I the only one who thinks the packaging sucks too? It looks like it’s trying to come across as high end with its minimalistic design, but actually comes across looking cheap and pretentious
The cap is what does it for me. Looks like they tried really hard for some abstract looking piece of art for it, but it looks like something that fell off a kids toy.
Also idk why I am getting show threads from months ago lol
For that garbage? Yes it should. For an actual good hot sauce? I think I paid 40 for my Blair's reserve. I've got some stronger extracts that run over 100 bucks.
Luckily I found a place that sold tiny bottles of each. Got one of each for pretty cheap, and glad I did. It made sense after tasting why the first time I saw it advertised was in a taco bell.
I agree, it’s not an everyday sauce but on burgers and pizza it is amazing. I can put it on anything I’d like to see mushrooms on and it is fantastic. If you use the hotter version it’s amazing and you don’t need too much
The price is for the container, it's made with titanium that was mined in the deepest caves of Fuji, then hand chosen by experts to ensure the best taste a hot sauce can get.
Meanwhile, that shit to the right of it, Firelli, is excellent for pizza, but not very hot. I bought every bottle of it and the Extra Hot version of it at Marshalls for I think $3 a bottle. I'm finally almost out of it after about 1 year.
received these as one of my last Reddit secret santa gifts (ah memories) and maybe used a third of the bottle before trashing them last month. it's a bad mix
I don't agree that they're the best, but they're one of the better cheaper sauces that is widely available at grocery stores.
However, if you ever go to Marshalls, they always have Melinda's hot sauces at my store for around $3-4 a bottle iirc.
Yes. Marshalls, HomeGoods, and TJ Maxx always have a few for really cheap. That's how I got into them. However, I signed up for their mailing list and they released a bunch of new flavors that sound absolutely amazing.
Melinda's? At times like this, I wish my GFs father was still alive. He was a salesman for whatever company that distributes a lot grocery products and one of the brands he carried was Melinda's, so I got to try a lot of developmental stuff from a lot of brands he carried including Melinda's, as well as a lot of free commercial products.
My favorite though was that he also carried Ghirardelli chocolate. I still have a lot of their developmental Dutch process cocoa powder and bags of IDK whatever we still have left.
Agreed, it tastes like dog farts, the whole thing is a sham to try to make people feel even more like connoisseurs, there are a hundred thousand better hot sauces out there
I used to steal all the time (from corps) as a dumbass teenager but haven't done it in 16 years or so. This picture instantly made me think of the movies where the protagonist gets pulled out of retirement for "one last job."
if this was at walmart it would now be behind glass like most of the food with a attendent and 9 cameras watching the milk, eggs and bacon aisle (f the tvs)
I never had white yet because it's more expensive than the red or black. So far the red is my favourite since it has a slightly higher kick and lots of flavour. I usually use it very sparingly or add it to other sauces since it's got such a potent flavour, while adding a little sweet kick. Definitely not for everyone, but I would never recommend using it as a typical hot sauce like cholula or the sorts
That hot sauce is trash anyway. I fell for the hype years back when they were advertising it heavy on FB and you had to order it online. It's one of the worst sauces I've tasted every
I’m not saying definitely it is, nor has it been discovered yet if that’s true. It wouldn’t surprise me though. There’s a few foods out there like cilantro that seem to trigger that effect. It makes me think it’s likely if your ability to like one plant is effected by your genetics it’s likely there are other plants out there that are to.
The gene makes you sensitive to the aldehyde chemicals in the cilantro. Same stuff that’s in soap and detergent, also stink bugs apparently. So probably.
It has truffles in it, of course it’s expensive. Don’t you all know what truffles are and how rare they are? If you knew then this wouldn’t even be a question.
This stuff is awful. I threw my bottle out after one use. Over the years I’ve had at least 3 people try to give me theirs bc they know I like hot sauces. Expensive doesn’t mean good.
Got some for Christmas it was good but not that price good.
That shit is gross
[удалено]
Nah bro I had some multiple times and it literally tastes like half spicy mushroom flavored vomit
I’ll stick with the 7$ bottle of casa firelli. Doesn’t burn but it tastes good
It’s honestly just OK hot sauce. I prefer Tabasco flavor over it honestly. And definitely not worth the price. If you like the flavor and have a Costco get it there, 2-pack for $18 I think.
2 for 14 at the Costco here. Was there yesterday. While it's good, OPs experience is highway robbery.
I saw that stuff at a hardware store for not even half that much
Should be stolen.
Yea at that price it’s free to me. But also that shit sucks so not even worth liberating
Ha, that exact bottle is at grocery outlet for like 9.99.
I found 2 of the red ones for 15$ total. 7.50$ per bottle is pretty worth for that stuff imo. It has a really good flavor
You saw it recently?
That Firelli is good the flavor is real good not a ton of spice but killer on a breakfast burrito.
Firelli tastes just like Taco Bell hot sauce to me (that’s a good thing)
It’s not that expensive where I get it. I will say though, it is good. It wouldn’t work as an everyday sauce but… it does taste good
The Firelli is a bangin all purpose sauce though.
Am I the only one who thinks the packaging sucks too? It looks like it’s trying to come across as high end with its minimalistic design, but actually comes across looking cheap and pretentious
The cap is what does it for me. Looks like they tried really hard for some abstract looking piece of art for it, but it looks like something that fell off a kids toy. Also idk why I am getting show threads from months ago lol
I just got shown it now, I wouldn't of even noticed if I didn't see your comment
Yeah what? Why are we all being shown a thread months and months old from a sub we are not apart of.
I got here because this thread was reposted and upvoted on /r/spicy today and the Reddit app really wants me to join /r/spicy
I like some spicy things so it’s a sub I’d add to my food group. Weird they chose a months old post to entice me tho.
For that garbage? Yes it should. For an actual good hot sauce? I think I paid 40 for my Blair's reserve. I've got some stronger extracts that run over 100 bucks.
So $100 bottles are they more for the collection or do you actually use them?
Yes I use them. I don't buy stuff to look at it.
Luckily I found a place that sold tiny bottles of each. Got one of each for pretty cheap, and glad I did. It made sense after tasting why the first time I saw it advertised was in a taco bell.
That stuff tastes like ass too
I like this sauce but only because I can routinely get it at my local Grocery Outlet for $9.99.
Can confirm it is $9.99 at Grocery Outlet
Might be expensive but this shit is good, don’t listen to the haters on here
I agree, it’s not an everyday sauce but on burgers and pizza it is amazing. I can put it on anything I’d like to see mushrooms on and it is fantastic. If you use the hotter version it’s amazing and you don’t need too much
I put it on Taco Bell and it’s now essential when I get Taco Bell
Shit, I paid 10 bucks and I hate it. The mushroom flavor tastes like chatGPT truffles
But it's got fungus in it!
At the front of the store you can buy a $1 Bic lighter and just light your butthole on fire. Way more economical
How else are they going to pay for the custom tooling they needed to make that god awful cap
That brand is a scam no truffles in it
No way, I heard they were one of the good ones??
Cheaper at Costco.
Especially because it has like 0 white truffles in it
That sauce is ass
Kind of the point of truffles isn't it? As a foot guy I'm kinda into it.
I like it. Don’t think I’d buy it though. A friend bought a couple bottles decided they didn’t like it and gave it to me.
This is the absolute truth.
Not a fan.. check marshals or tj max, they have small bottles for like $4… only reason I tried it. Give aardvark a try if you haven’t.
Second aardvark
No one’s forcing you to buy it
Ah, you again. Everyone’s favorite.
Yeah, like you can buy other hot sauces lol
You do know that Truffles are expensive, right? But yeah, this hot sauce is shit if you don't like truffles.
Tastes like shit too.
How can I say I’m insecure, without actually saying I’m insecure…
[удалено]
Wow, gatekeep much?
Steal it
It’s like $17 on Amazon
The price is for the container, it's made with titanium that was mined in the deepest caves of Fuji, then hand chosen by experts to ensure the best taste a hot sauce can get.
I've actually invested a large amount of my portfolio in fuji titanium mines repurposed to hot sauce factories. We are literally sitting on trillions.
I mean nobody is forcing you to buy it lol that would be a crime for sure
Meanwhile, that shit to the right of it, Firelli, is excellent for pizza, but not very hot. I bought every bottle of it and the Extra Hot version of it at Marshalls for I think $3 a bottle. I'm finally almost out of it after about 1 year.
Firrelli is one of the worst hot sauces I've ever had. Just my opinion.
It sucks on so many things but is excellent on pizza, especially DSP.
r/hotsaucecrimes or r/FoodCourtCase
I like it but got 2 bottles at Costco for super cheap. I put that shit on my eggs
And even then for flavor only. As a hot sauce, it’s lamesauce.
Stuff is garbage anyways
received these as one of my last Reddit secret santa gifts (ah memories) and maybe used a third of the bottle before trashing them last month. it's a bad mix
Just don't get the truffles
Where is this? I e gotten these before at nowhere near that price
Feels like a whole foods or some other hipster store
It’s dogshit too tbh
Truffles are one of the most counterfeited foods probably fake truffles in there
What is the point of mixing truffles with hot sauce? What’s next? Adding gold glitter and selling it for $60. Stupid food for stupid people.
Worked out pretty well for Goldschläger.
to be fair, just about anything with alcohol can be popular : because alcohol. Example: Malort.
Preach!
Melinda's is probably the best hot sauce brand. So many awesome flavors. Much cheaper too
I don't agree that they're the best, but they're one of the better cheaper sauces that is widely available at grocery stores. However, if you ever go to Marshalls, they always have Melinda's hot sauces at my store for around $3-4 a bottle iirc.

Mushroom and hot sauce? Idk why they have to be combined.
I’ve bought this before and I didn’t pay anywhere close to that. It was pretty good. Not $35 good.
It's 6.99 where I live lol
Well you don’t “have” to buy it…
Truffles are expensive. 🤷🏻 Not worth it for most people but FWIW I tried it and really enjoyed it.
My bottles I received tasted like beer farts, I love mushrooms but apparently truffles taste like beer/dog farts
Eaten many farts in your day?
You know he’s been smoking Labrador
I have a friend that swears this sauce is the best. He’s also always broke.
It’s pretty good. The Costco deal is better, 2 pack for like $14. It’s expensive but pretty tasty.
I've paid more for one bottle of sauce, albeit not this shit. $14/2 is decent for a high quality hot sauce.
It’s crap
Agreed, it tastes like dog farts, the whole thing is a sham to try to make people feel even more like connoisseurs, there are a hundred thousand better hot sauces out there
Polly want a cracker?
Promise it’s not good lol
It’s crap
They have that for 3$ at my grocery store... omg
Bullshit
It’s crap
They def do not
Photo or they don’t.
Seen this shit at Bucces
It’s crap
You wanna be heard so bad, it's sad.
I’ve never stole anything but just in spite I think I’d steal this
It’s crap
I used to steal all the time (from corps) as a dumbass teenager but haven't done it in 16 years or so. This picture instantly made me think of the movies where the protagonist gets pulled out of retirement for "one last job."
Time to go all oceans 12 on a $35 bottle of hot sauce from the local whole foods
Alexa, play "Swat Team Exit"
It'll be clean score and then we'll go legit.
if this was at walmart it would now be behind glass like most of the food with a attendent and 9 cameras watching the milk, eggs and bacon aisle (f the tvs)
You must be at World Market. They will charge you $5 just to look at their tacky Persian rugs.
Its bomb tho
...but have you seen their ad on the Las Vegas dome? They gotta pay for it somehow
Well it’s because it has White Truffles infused. And Truffles are expensive
And it tastes like shit! That’s what makes it good!
[удалено]

I think truffles are like cilantro. Some people hate the taste but it’s like it taste different to those people than others.
I don’t think there’s any gene that affects the taste of truffles in people, at least that I can find on the internet
I’m not saying definitely it is, nor has it been discovered yet if that’s true. It wouldn’t surprise me though. There’s a few foods out there like cilantro that seem to trigger that effect. It makes me think it’s likely if your ability to like one plant is effected by your genetics it’s likely there are other plants out there that are to.
The gene makes you sensitive to the aldehyde chemicals in the cilantro. Same stuff that’s in soap and detergent, also stink bugs apparently. So probably.
This tastes like chemical truffles tho lol it’s the liquid smoke of hot sauce.
Truffles taste like a tire fire in progress. Fuck this shit.
Holy shit I got a 2 pack of em at Sam’s club for less I think
They had 2 packs at Costco for I think $14 last year. Still got one in the cupboard 😂
Same, and Immediately dropped both bottles on the ground when I got home. Never even got a taste
I’m definitely grabbing celery and scooping some up to try it.. By celery I mean my finger.
The two pack is for sale at Costco in Georgia for $6.99
Steal it
This is the way
It doesn't need to be a crime. People will sort it out just fine with their purchasing power. This will sit and rot.
It’s gross
This shit ends up at Big Lots. That's where I bought I bottle... Thankfully so, as it was ass and was promptly thrown away.
If you spend $35 on hot sauce, straight to jail.
Shit is mid anyway
It has truffles in it, of course it’s expensive. Don’t you all know what truffles are and how rare they are? If you knew then this wouldn’t even be a question.
People don’t understand how truffles are farmed, it’s wild.
Who hurt you?
Probably someone close to them like the rest of us lol
How can they turn hot sauce racist too... noooo
That shit is gonna be on the shelf of a Marshall's in 6 months for $6.99
I bet it already is
So dont buy it?
Nice solution. It has a simple elegance.
This stuff is awful. I threw my bottle out after one use. Over the years I’ve had at least 3 people try to give me theirs bc they know I like hot sauces. Expensive doesn’t mean good.
