Why do people like this shit again? Is it masochism?

So I just got some Sriracha for the first time.
I was surprised by how... mundane it was. It's just Khrenovina without the horseradish? Is this what all the rage was about? Now don't get me wrong, it is quite delicious, but I expected something more unique or unknown when I bought it.

I don't care what you say. This shit is good.

What do you think of Sriracha?I love it.I put it on mac and cheese, rice, cheese and potatoes, mashed potatoes, burgers and pretty much anything that needs a little heat.I think it's way better than hot sauce.

>eating at friend's house
>hey my nigga do you have any hot sauce
>yea bro here
>pulls this shit out

wat do?

/ck/ I need some advice
Like it or not, Sriracha has been the hottest "actual sauce" I've encountered thus far (with the constraint being consistency). Most others are far more watery, salt-infused Tabasco bullshit. Just tried Melinda's XXXtra Hot, and it's not nearly as hot as Sriracha, plus it's a fucking wall of salt and runny liquid as opposed to an actual sauce, with barely any heat...

Basically I'm getting sick of buying "THE MOST EXXXXTREEEME HOT DEATH CHILI SAUCE", come to find out it's either a glorified/weak Tabasco or not as hot as Sriracha...Yeah I know Dave's Insanity...but it's also that watered-down Tabasco formula...so what gives?

And yeah I know about Sambal Oelek, which has THE perfect consistency, but should be way hotter and come in a way larger jar. The further away from a Tabasco the better, but also the hotter the better...c'mon /ck/ help me out...What I'm looking for is Sriracha with less garlic, but A LOT more heat, with the same type of sauce consistency...any ideas? Even DIY would be appreciated...

Most food memes are just things that people who live in actual cities on the coasts have known about for years and that aren't really that special. People flyover states get excited about because they see them in Buzzfeed articles and then they become "a thing" I guess.

Sriracha and Nutella are prime examples of this.

I'm happy to accept that this is a shitty meme sauce, but what's a good replacement? I don't need it to taste like sriracha or anything. I just need something a little spicy and garlicky.

Sorry I doubted you /ck/. I finally tried Sriracha tonight. I was just expecting heat, and not any actual flavor. I'm not normally a fan of spicy things.

In comparison I had tried the buffalo chicken pizza at Papa Johns once before, didn't much care for it at all. Just had leftover pizza tonight so I didn't get the usual works, decided to get the Sriracha pizza at Papa Johns.

Actually really liked it. I think the sweetness kicked me in the balls at first, was not expecting that. But I enjoyed it and am going to pick up a bottle next time I'm at walmart.

Not sure what the hell I'm going to put it on, but I'll figure something out. Maybe an Omelet, or hot dogs.

Why again is this stuff considered a meme/hipster hot sauce? It's just hot sauce. And while I don't understand all the hype about it, I don't understand the hate it seems to attract on /ck/ either
