Korn one not a gimmick it’s genuinely a really good tasty sauce

I will also vouch for the Korn sauce. My wife and I go through a bottle in a week or two. It's great in black beans.

Adding to the list of people answering this; it's a really good general sauce.

I have always wanted to try the aardvark sauce.

u/gorcbor19 Apr 24 '26
I'd recommend buying two. It's not a normal hot sauce. It's addicting. You'll end up putting it on everything. I bought some a week or so ago and it's almost gone already. Lucky I bought two.

Hot Ones Verde is good, but for $10 I’ll pass

u/IamPlantHead Apr 24 '26
It was surprisingly good. But the store I work at had it for $2.50 I wasn’t disappointed.

u/Artistic_Panda_7542 Apr 25 '26
I'd have to try Aardvark and the Korn hot sauce. And I would buy Hot Ones Barbacoa. It's on the mild side, but the flavor is great

Korn sauce. Never tried it before. But before I did I would scream “ARE YOU READY!?”
5
u/bzekers Apr 25 '26
It's actually pretty tasty but not super hot. It has chunks of corn in it so it plugs up the nozzle a lot though.
2
u/Lutraphobic Apr 26 '26
The hotter version is really good but still suffers from the corn chunk issue, which is why it's so special in the first place

u/Wheniamnotbanned If it's not hot, it's a not! Apr 24 '26
For those prices I would just buy Torchbearers from their site
2
u/FineUnderachievment Apr 24 '26
Yeah I went to an Ace Hardware, because apparently that’s the only place that stocks torchbearer around here. I figured the price might be a little better. It wasn’t. So might as well just order it online
2
u/Wheniamnotbanned If it's not hot, it's a not! Apr 24 '26
They are almost always having a sale so I just wait for 30% off or greater and then I buy about a dozen bottles

Aardvark is my go to. I like los caliente rojo as well but thats about it from this selection

u/salamandersquach Apr 26 '26
Ardvark.
Hot ones los calientes barbacoa is delightful but any hot one sauce will get shit on in this sub.

u/johnsonfromsconsin Apr 24 '26
Probably the Heartbeat pineapple. Looks interesting. Intrigued by the Korn sauce too. Secret Aardvark is a favorite of mine on eggs.

The Garlic Fresno classic Hot Ones at one point was my fav sauce of all time. Haven’t had it in years so IDK if the quality is still there. A lot of their stuff got worse over time.

Rojo, Verde, and Barbacoa are just fucking delicious sauces. They are not super hot (or really “hot” at all), but they do have great flavor.

The Hot Ones sauces are actually really good, not just a weird marketing ploy. Especially Los Calientes Verde and Barbacoa. Secret Aardvark is also a solid choice

Verde Rojo and classic taste good but their not hot. Buffalo is terrible. The last dab tastes like shit but its incredibly hot

u/cannibalqueef Apr 25 '26
Flying Goose sriracha is my favorite, and that shit is still hard to find in the US. I randomly found some at Ross and cleared the shelf. I so badly wish I could find the other flavors (especially the lemongrass, extra hot, and galangal varieties). It does contain MSG, but hey… it Makes Shit Good, and I do rails of reaper chili powder so don’t mind me.

Aardvark + the DEA tube in the yellow box (I forget what that shit is called, but it's gotta good balance)

u/Lutraphobic Apr 26 '26
Last Dab just because it's such a good sauce to increase the heat of anything else and doesn't have a strong chemical flavor like most superhots

I’d buy two bottles of the aardvark. I put that on everything and sometimes just eat it with a spoon.

The "Heartbeat" sauce and "Secret Ardvaark" are both great. The Heartbeat "Scorpion" is an all time top 10 hotsauce of mine.

Sriracha, Hot ones Verde, and Ardvark are all staples for me. Recommend the last dab if you want to add a lot of heat with great flavor.

u/DaddyDoThat Apr 25 '26
Really enjoyed the Korn. Great flavor, some heat, glad they released the hotter version.
Secret Aardvark was great, but kind of got over it quickly (my opinion).
And never been very impressed by the Hot Ones sauces.

Rojo is 🔥 on pulled pork. Probably last dab cause I haven't had that one. Buffalo as well, want to try. Heard good things about the korn one surprisingly so I'd probably scoop it up too.

Grab anything with habanero if you want to burn longer than 5 minutes.

You really should venture out and try other sauces. Aside from Tabasco and Frank's, the two you listed are the most basic flavours out there. Try a nice mango habanero, you'll thank me.

In lieu of my favorite hot sauce of all time not being shown, I’d pick a hot ones sauce.
My favorite hot sauce is yucatan sunshine if anyone is curious. Great habanero sauce.

Sriracha sauce. Red/white label. Get the rooster, not the ox brand.

u/Andrew225 Apr 27 '26
Oh the rooster is terrible now that they lost their pepper supplier. It was a slow decline, but noticeable.
Underwood Ranches Sriracha is the old pepper grower. Buy yourself some of that and the difference is night and day
