The Viral Good Morning Surprise : Caffeinated Hot Sauce?
So not that long ago, it was National Hot Sauce Day. And by "not long ago" I mean, January. But I just saw it the other day, because as you know, I tend to live under a rock like Patrick Star.
ANYWAY. Being a huge lover of hot sauces, our house is always well stocked. Apparently one of the most popular hot sauces is one I currently don't have in my house. Well, I've had it before, it's just that this time it's not. The most popular hot sauce in Missouri is actually the Aldi version of Frank's.
This time I have the name brand.
Of course, I have the classics. Tacos with Tapatio is amazing.
I mean, Valentina on eggs is pretty classic.
And I tend to use this one when I'm making something that needs dipping.
I admit I don't use Tabasco much, but...ya gotta have it.
And since NJ has become an important person in my life, we have also added Louisiana our repertoire.
So you can tell, we're, you know, experts. Or at least aficionados. But now... there's a new one we will want to try. We can't, but we want to.
Yes, Taco John's (There's one in Kansas City) has teamed up with 5 hour energy to make a hot sauce.
Yes, they've taken their energy drink and they've turned it into a hot sauce. It's sold out right now**, but they do say to check back, which makes me think they're going to-restock. And it's not like they haven't done something similar before. They did a caffeinated barbecue sauce, too.
What do you think? Would you try a hot sauce that...kept you awake?
Saucingly yours,
Behka
**Ashleigh with Five Hour Energy reached out to me, to tell me they're going to do another run of the hot sauce in time for Cinco De Mayo, and another one on May 8th.
