    I was confused until I saw that tiny line at the top. Who the hell is paying 20 bucks for Sriracha. It’s like $3.99 where I live lol

      No distributors can get me actual rooster sauce right now. I had a palette of it when the shortage started but those days are over and now all I can get is the knock off stuff. It’s too vinegary. I sell sushi for context it’s not a personal use issue.

        Amazon really dicks you over a lot of times on the most random products lol… I think it tends towards things that are generally cheap for their weight but idk

      We went looking for it in the store, apparently there’s still a chili pepper shortage…

      They had distribution problems during the pandemic, then they fucked up by cutting business to farms they used to buy chili from.

      I honestly don’t think rooster sriracha will survive in a few years.

      Alternatively you could go to your local Asian mart and look at the brands there. Huy Fong didn’t invent sriracha by a long shot, and you should be able to find both the familiar squeezy bottle stuff and the more ‘traditional’ stuff that’s runny and in a glass bottle. It tastes a little different but it’s really good for dipping stuff in.

      Hell where I live (over in Scandinavia) most sriracha is flying goose brand, which is Thai. It also comes in like a billion flavours which are pretty damn good. Huy Fong is like the ‘fancy’ American import stuff

      Do u know if these need to be refrigerated after opening? How long do they stay good for?

      Said no preservatives on the website, so was just wondering…

        My bottle says 3 months at room temperature after opening

        Other than that it’s a fermented sauce, it’s not just the ground ingredients

    There was long while where I was not able to find this sauce in the last year or two.

    Now I can’t seem to find that awesome “Chipotle” cholula, which may be equally as frustrating!
