You cant even buy that stuff anymore where I live

>two things which are different are the same

>>18204364
I didn't know ketchup was made from chili peppers shithead

>>18204391
so were your parents, apparantly

>>18204400
Maybe you would have a point if you were talking about peppers and tomatoes as is, not heavily processed turned into a paste with sugar and thickener. I guarantee you that if you were to mix some garlic powder and very mild hot sauce to ketchup you would barely be able to tell the difference.

>>18204422
>bro if you add hot sauce to ketchup it tastes more like hot sauce
>that means hot sauce is the same as ketchup
Your parents really were related before marriage, huh?

>>18204422
The fuck is "thickener" asshole?

>>18204364
You can always buy the bootleg ones

>woah is that a hot sauce thread? Cause I sure got triggered like a bitch!
yeah, we know

>>18204444
checked. hotsauce bros... we're done for...

It should be a crime to call Sriracha hot sauce, where the fuck is the spice?

>>18204384
>>18204391
There's no tomato in actual ketchup

>>18204364
Everyone has been bombarded with news about rising food prices because of the Ukraine crisis. As a result everyone not related to Ukraine whatsoever raised their prices, in both food and non-food, because "oil prices", which are back to normal before the next tax cycle (aka oil prices were irrelevant unless you were poor while driving an SUV).

Even wheat prices are back to normal. Pay attention to the price of bread and wheat based sauces in the coming months. None will go down, the new profit margin will be the new normal.

>>18204444
wasted quads on a faggot obsessed with hating hot sauce

>>18204457
the flavor. not every salsa you eat has to burn your tongue and liquify your excrement, chamaco.

>>18204457
Honestly yeah, I gave it a try expecting it to be basically hot sauce except as a paste but turns out it tastes sweet. Is it really made out of a hot peppers or is mostly regular red pepper? If not what do they do to it to taste so mild compared to regular hot sauces?

>There's no tomato in actual ketchup
You should alert the FDA that ketchup manufacturers are labeling their products with false ingredient lists. You might even be able to make a decent amount from a lawsuit if you can prove it in court.

>>18204444
>I concur m'lady

>>18204438

>>18204384
It's red.

>>18204438

>teeny tiny hint of garlic and spice.
It's more than 60% chilies my stupid friend

>>18204422
god ur so retarded its mind boggling

>>18204539
and yet its not spicy at all

i wish i could eat hot stuff, i love it but i always get diarrhea

>>18204565
americans talk about mildly spicy food without mentioning shit challenge (impossible)

>>18204605
im from europe anon

>>18204551
No argument from me there, but it's certainly not ketchup with "a tiny hint of spice"

>>18204608
americans talk about mildly spicy food without mentioning they're from europe challenge (insane)

>>18204623
Americans from Europe are the most insidious ones.

Im trans and sriracha is my favorite store bought sauce

>>18204444
>shrirasha!!

>>18204400
I thoroughly enjoyed this .gif

>>18204364
You’re a retard who can’t even read an ingredient list.
You’re bound to fail at life anyway, so stop worrying about things like cost.

>>18204364
did they fuck with the recipe? doesnt taste nearly as flavorful or spicy as it did 10+ years ago

>>18204364
because it's hip and cool

>>18204364
Becuase it's good.
>pic related is $15 for each bottle

>>18204513
That's not Huy Fong Sriracha.

>>18205233
>4 normal ingredients
>then a bunch of chemical shit that probably poisons you
why are prepared foods ALWAYS like this?

>>18205309
Because they hate us, they want us to be sick, and want us to have terrible lives.

>>18204364
it's expensive right now because the manufacturer halted production earlier this year. the reason for that is the peppers used for the sauce is sourced from like one farm in california and they experienced some catastrophic failure of this years crop. maybe time to try some other asian hot sauce.

>>18205233
>that still has xanthan gum thickener though

>>18204460
>oil prices were irrelevant unless you were poor while driving an SUV
that's like 60% of americans

>>18205358
maybe in rural retard containment zones

>>18205369
Go outside, zoomzoom.

>>18205309
i bet you consume dihydrogen monoxide, don't you?

>>18205233
Huh literally the same preservatives in somevof popular brands in asia. They still use the potassium sorbate for everything including foodstuffs with vitamin C...

>>18204410
A+ bantz

>>18204422
So just diy your own ““sriracha”” instead of bitching

>>18204410
Lmao

>>18205233

What the fuck is it wine?

>>18204410
ahaahahaha

what happened?

hey big guy. you wanna some my hot sauce long time?

>>18205309
because people expect them to last for 4 years opened and unrefrigerated

Why is there a Sriracha shortage?

Why is there a Sriracha shortage? In a letter to customers, Huy Fong explains that "due to weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers," the California-based company is facing a severe shortage of chilies and is unable to produce its products: Sriracha Hot Chili sauce, Chili Garlic or Sambal Oelek.
Jun 28, 2022

the shortage is over, bought a new bottle today. hype to slather it on some animal fries and a double double

>>18206510
that's just an excuse though

>>18204364
>Why is this shit so expensive? It's basically ketchup with a teeny tiny hint of garlic and spice.

If it isn't useful to you, why complain about the price? You aren't buying it anyway.

If you are buying it, why ask us for the price? You already know why it isn't lower: You're buying it anyway.

This Has Been Your Anti-Marxist Free Market Lesson For Today.

Yeah, I was curious too since I remember the Huy Fong guy being touted as a big success story:

> Chili shortage
https://www.axios.com/2022/06/08/sriracha-shortage-2022-chili-peppers

> Huy Fong lost feud with its 30-year pepper supplier
https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a27785832/huy-fong-sriracha-lawsuit/
Apparently people say the sauce tastes different now.

>>18206838
i have a bottle from before the first shortage news story was posted, and a bottle i just bought today. they are slightly different colors, will post taste comparison soon

>>18206842
I've read that the color and flavor will diminish with age though, so you might want to take that into account.

I like this stuff too. It's spicier than their sriracha.

>>18205309
Acetic acid is just vinegar.
Potassium sorbate is a naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acid.
The Sodium Bisulfite is chemical bullshit.

>>18204384
ketchup doesn't mean tomato. historically it was made with mushrooms.

>>18207383
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_ketchup
>Banana ketchup was first produced in the Philippines during World War II due to a wartime shortage of tomatoes
>Its natural color is brownish-yellow but it is often dyed red to resemble tomato ketchup.
Ketchup in the modern age refers to tomato ketchup, to the point where non-tomato ketchups are literally dyed to match the coloration of tomato ketchup because they're treated as substitutes for "real" ketchup that contains tomatoes.

>>18207412
>we've got no tomatoes
>fuck it, use bananas instead
how the fuck does that work?

>>18207423
yea it seems like bullshit, ketchup clearly has a tomato flavor

>>18207645
nope sorry, it has a tangy flavor. can be made from anything.

Jesus fucking Christ this. Faggots complain about inflation and treat it like a government issue while companies are making record profits.

>>18207682
Inflation is a combination of increased supply chain costs and a general "fuck you" of additional corporate profit seeking because they can.

>>18204410
Holy fuck

>>18207383
>UHHHH actually uhhh ketchup was originally made with uhhhh mushrooms that means ketchup means mushrooms and not tomatoes uhhhhh
k... keep me posted

>>18207682
70% inflation in my area was housing costs which is 100% on the government and society for fucking up

Rent costs went up $300 a month while grocery and supplies went up $100 at worst.

>>18204364
just make your own
it's easy

>>18204410
Actually laughed

>>18206616

>>18204410

>>18207682

We should protest though. Peacefully, of course.

>>18204410
LMAO

>>18204364

>>18204364
