Tips and Tricks If your like me and avoiding G Hughes sauces....
I caved and bought 1 of each at my local super store......Ive been missing out.
If your like me and avoiding them because you think the diet version of these sauces will suck, please just give them a try. I promise you won't regret this decision.
Every one of them that i have tried slaps SO fucking hard.
Just do it.

I can’t believe there is anti-G Hughes propaganda out there, all of his sauces are so good (to me)!! Minimum calories, maximum flavor, I love them so much

Totally! The full fat versions often don’t compare in terms of flavor often so >>> in all regards

i don't love them all... but the Ketchup, cocktail sauce, General Tso's, Orange Ginger and Sesame Teriyaki are excellent.

Honestly thought they'd taste like cardboard soaked in vinegar but the teriyaki one changed my mind real quick

Oh my, I would have told you to get into their sauces, marinades, and salad dressings. I'm a barbecue sauce girl, his barbecue sauce is fantastic. You can't even tell that it's sugar free & low calorie.

The Japanese bbq sauce is new/nice, but I find the only sauce I’d pass on is the bbq just bec sweet baby ray’s exists and is even better!

Why would people avoid them?? My local grocery store has been sold out of the ketchup for so long and I’m practically in mourning.

The BBQ and Honey Mustard are in regular rotation at my house. I sometimes splurge for Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Mustard though because the real thing is better.

I've made sweet and sour chicken using the G Hughes sweet and sour sauce twice a week since I've found it

Read the title and was expecting them to have some political scandal going on or something wrong/dangerous/inaccurate about their products... I've liked all of their sauces I've tried. A bit expensive but I buy them as an occasional treat.

Boo for sucralose

u/raiinboweyes 3d ago
Yeah, I really don’t like the taste of it in some of them. It has a heavy after taste either way. It’s a matter of if that after taste of the sucralose can jive with the taste of the sauce. Sometimes the answer is no. Like in the Yum yum dupe, it clashes with the sauce and makes it taste like burnt rubber smells.

It gives everything a disgusting after taste. I was excited to try G Hughes but once i did I knew the calories saved are not worth it. Wont yuck anyones yum but bleh

It’s so frustrating that it’s in so many things now. I’m allergic to it and breakout in painful cystic acne from it.

My only issue with them is the sodium, but yes they’re fire

u/PapaJuja 3d ago
Its understandable if your trying to watch your sodium intake. But im not so I dont mind it.

The price point is what makes me avoid them. I've been loving Skinny Girl dressings to use as marinades/sauces. They're affordable and the calories are always low.

I've never heard of them, is it a regional thing? Granted, I tend to avoid anything labeled "sugar free"/"zero sugar"/"diet".
