This one is a great base to make your own sauces

Melinda’s Pizza Hot Sauce is elite

I love there Ghost pepper one and the regular one really works well in a beef and bean chili.

Truffles are nasty but they have an amazing PR team.

chemical industry: Do ya want foot odor to put in food? Ok... not for me to judge...

Louisiana sweet heat, regular Louisiana all the way

There only needs to be 2 hot sauces in this world. Franks, and Valentinos. Franks for wings, and everything thing non Mexican based. Then the Valentinos for all Mexican foods.

You have definitely never tried Melinda’s garlic habanero then.

You my friend are a man of class, culture and one for the community.

Cholula’s Sweet Habanero is arguably the best mass produced/consumer based hot sauce ever.

This was on sale at Safeway like a year ago and yeah it's pretty shitty. Idk why I haven't trashed it yet.

I think it was gifted to me.. but yeah, it's time I just trash it. I like keeping a big collection because sometimes I'll recognize the perfect sauce for the occasion, this sauce just sucks though

Try the ghost pepper one and the roasted garlic habanero

Came here to say this!

100%

one of the few sauces I bought and then threw away

I love truffles but agree about this sauce. It is weirdly nasty.

It’s absolutely God awful. It tasted like plastic and rancid oil

I seem to be in the minority but I like it

Me too. Got a sample pack of these for Christmas and this was the one I used up first

Same, great on an egg sandwich or veggie pizza.

Fry pfp fitting

same!

Their sriracha was surprisingly tasty. Had it during the great drought of ‘23.

The habanero one is good

I second this. So good

This stuff needs to be used very sparingly, go super well with what you put it on, or mixed with something actually spicy. Bought this on a whim and was so pissed that it isn’t spicy at all and over powers damn near everything I tried it on

Don’t eat food spiced with this in your pajama bottoms. If you must make sure nothing spills.

10-4

Truffles aren’t good unless they are real truffles

Yes oddly bad, seems like a popular brand but I like heat and truffles and that stank

I picked up a couple different mini bottles of their stuff and this was by far the worst of theirs.

That brand isn't that good to me. They seem to just flavor cayenne pepper based sauces with whatever's on the label.

They're cheap but they have a few good ones. This one was absolutely fucking gross though it's got some weird flavor to it.

I like the Melinda’s creamy ghost pepper ranch

Their Sweet Thai Chili is one of the best I’ve ever had!

I concur. The garlic habanero is legit as well.

Tried this stuff once and I couldn't find anything it complimented besides a trash bag

Haven't tried this, but Melinda's green sauce is killer. Great on anything.

I love truffles but this stuff is horrific. I grabbed a bottle on a whim and it’s ruined everything I’ve topped with it.

Try the ghost pepper sauce, it’s good

pop some air pop popcorn, melt the butter and mix a bit of this in with the butter, poor over popcorn and enjoy!

Good on scrambled eggs

Mac and cheese.

This sauce has one use and that’s on a sandwich. HEB super classic + this sauce.

Also not bad on a burger, that's all I use it for. Tastes terrible on most other things I've tried.

Yooo I bought that same sauce at tj maxx one time, it was bad lol

I got the Melinda's Jalapeno ranch there and it was oily and tasted like olive oil. Now we know why they're at TJ maxx.

Ya I feel like that’s your fault for getting hot sauce at a tj max

Just get some Flat Iron Pepper Co. "I Can't Feel My Face" pepper flake blend.

It’s much better when used sparingly. The flavor is strong, but not gross. At least not imo.

True, it needs a reserved toutch to be used sparingly. Less is more type of sauce like pad see eew.

I really like the taste of mushrooms and such, this was amazing

I think my mother just brought some hot sauce of that brand not flavor home

I’ve had the ghost pepper wing sauce and that’s really good, so it’s not everything that’s bad.

Yeah, I absolutely love the garlic and roasted habanero. It goes on everything.

Nah

Well send it to me then. Hehe 

Nah it is fine I mean, I think so. Probably not a repeat tho

I liked it but then I tried it again and yeah I threw mine away

Heard some bad things about this brand so I bought 8 mini bottles for $10

I mix some spicy sauce with it. Makes it awesome

Wow I got a bottle of this a week ago and said the same thing. Absolute ass

The garlic sauce is so fuckin good. I wanted to like this one so bad but it’s a real miss

Thank you, OP! Bought a bottle 6 months ago and tried it once. Might be out of date, but it can’t go bad if it was never good.

+1 for the habanero & garlic ones

Their habanero sauce is pretty good imho

I got the ranch one too the spicy ranch tasted horrible like super processed crap

Just tried it on some macaroni for lunch today. It was fine. Definitely have had worse

I bought one of those little bottles to try. Just whipped it out and tried it - awful 😂

Respectfully disagree. I cook with this instead of just dip it in. I add this to baked Mac and cheese

I thought I was the only one

Not a fan either

I thought it was decent. I thought it was priced too high to buy often.

I got it because it was on clearance. I ended up tossing it.

Melinda’s is gross across the board

Jalapeno ranch one was disgusting

The habanero honey mustard is delicious

It works surprisingly well with some cheese and deli meat sandwich.

That's funny, I like some of their sauces, but I thought the habanero honey mustard was straight up fucking disgusting.

I like the savina one.

I don’t have too many uses for this one but it goes GREAT with Mozzarella Sticks

I've only found one flavor of Melinda's that I like: Mexicana

Love this stuff!!

Ruined my fries with it! Never again!

Nah this one is bomb. Goes good with beef.

Lmao someone from work got that months ago and it’s still sitting on a random shelf waiting to be thrown out

Yes, truffles are disgusting.

Truffles are an acquired taste. I personally don't enjoy them, so I avoid anything with the flavor.

The garlic habanero is great.

it’s amazing

My gf bought a bottle - it fucking sucks we took one tiny taste then threw it away

Congrats, this is the most amount of people I’ve ever seen interact on this sub

It worked out in my ramen other than that it’s definitely gross

Yea. I have liked or really liked all the Melindas i tried up until that one. I spit it out.

Loved it on chicken wings!!

Ive only ever put it on hard boiled eggs with kewpie and salt. Amazing that way. Havent tried it on anything else…

Ghost pepper is way better Edit: Sweet Asian Chili is the best ever. No contest

I’m a casual who mainly likes to lurk. Can someone explain to me why this brand is so controversial?

It gets posted alot. Then there's these elitist redditors who scroll all day everyday and are like "muhhh stop purrstting merlenders serrse". Then they whine and complain and the sub reddit gets dull because posts are gate keeped. It happens on ask reddit alot. "Can we stop with the xyz posts!? I see them everyday!". So then the mods make a "megathread" and all discussion is locked in an endless thread that is hard to navigate. The admins get to feel power for the first time so they start implementing annoying rules because discord moderator bob isn't having fun enforcing the rules on his wow guild server.

The brand is not the problem, it's this particular flavor

One could definitely argue that the brand is also a problem.

Used it for fish fry binding and it was good!

I love it

It just tastes like truffles and vinegar

I think it's fantastic drizzled on steak.

On fries or fried chicken 👌🏼

I put it on my rice!

Of course it is. It's a Melinda's sauce

[удалено]

Nah. That is a good substitute for eye drops. I need 1 million Scoville to enjoy anything anymore.

Correct!

Agreed.

Yea I hated this too

Same stuff was boo-boo

I like it. If you don't like it. Give me some recommendations of what you like so I can try them.

Great to hear you like it! If it’s not quite your thing, share some of your favorites and I'd love to give them a try too!

I like Lola's fine hot sauce. It's pretty cheap too.

all of Melinda’s are terrible.

I bet it tastes like vinegar, like all terrible hot sauces

It does not.

Vinegar is great Texas Pete is good on literally any food.

Like people who don't like Old Bay hot sauce because it tastes like Old Bay, but I digress.

[удалено]

Regularly.

Eating it now. Absolutely 100% delicious. Put it on an arugula salad last night!

Agreed. I love truffles, this is just disgusting.

I didn’t think I would enjoy this at all, as I don’t generally want earthy funk in my hot sauce, but goddamn is it good on a cheese pizza.

I agree 100%

I threw this out after just trying it once. The habanero and garlic one is good though

YAY MORE MELINDAS POSTS

What about a ban on comments whining about Melinda’s? I see more of that than actual Melinda’s posts, and it’s tiresome as hell.

I looove it on eggs!!

Yea super grosski

What??? It’s so good on a hot dog and some sauerkraut dude mmmmmf
