There is a shortage of Sriracha hot sauce in California and its going to disappear forever

Source - IRWINDALE>> The famous rooster sauce is in short supply this month thanks to a new state regulation that requires manufacturer Huy Fong Foods to hold its Sriracha for 30 days before shipping it.
The hold took effect on Monday, so Huy Fong can’t ship any of its product until the middle of January. This means a shortage of supply for many of the company’s customers.


I have seen this new story every day for the last week. I keep trying to ignore it but people will not shut up about it. Yes I use this stuff when I am the Mexican restaurant in my town that has it on every table. Every time I use it I think, oh yea that's why I normally don't use this shit. For those of you that care, here are the top five hot sauces that you should be using. 

5) Texas Pete. Could be higher on the list but it is real sneaky hot. Like I always think it's not that hot and I was just being a bitch, but this is that lingering heat. Do NOT over pour. 

4) Green Tabasco. This isn't that hot, but I'm kind of a pussy. Also, the reason this stuff is so pure is you get it for the same reason you get mild salsa. If you get hot salsa you cant plow through an entire bag of Tostitos without melting your tongue off. So this stuff lets you dump it on there without ruining the meal. Chipotle burrito bowl, I'll be taking the green bottle to the table with me thank you very much. 

3) Tabasco. The OG. Tough third to give out, but we live in a tough world. It's hot, thats for damn sure, but the flavor is on point. A few drops go a long way to enhancing the microwaved shit that I am usually eating. 

2) Franks Red Hot. I put that shit on everything. Mild enough that you can go to fucking town, but hot enough that after you do you think what the fuck just happened. So versatile. I mean, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything. Love this shit. A fridge without Franks is not a fridge I ever want to lay eyes on. I have literally poured a little bit of Franks on my tongue on more than 6 occasions when I was starving and had nothing to eat. Sneaky treat for you, Franks on mac salad. Thank me later. 

1) Taco Bell Fire Sauce. Maybe I only think this because I only have it at 2am when I am hammering a number 6 (two chalupas) down my gullet. Or maybe its because it is the perfect blend of joy and regret ever crammed into a tiny bag. Anything that tastes that good and makes my ass do that is number 1 in my book.
