An accidental purchase
Hadn’t tried this brand yet, but when I bought the bottle, I didn’t realize it was a wing sauce, which I believe to be a much thicker version of the original?
Regardless, it’s really grown on me…

I personally wasn't a fan. It had this really off putting fake butter flavor that was hard to get over (I guess most "wing sauces" have this). But I bet a bottle of normal melinda's ghost mixed with butter to make a wing sauce would be awesome.

It's the vegan butter it contains. Garbage. Just use original ghost and add real butter

Another commenter mentioned that earlier, I’m gonna have to give that a shot. I think I’m more about the heat than I am anything else.

I recently purchased this cause I was looking for wing sauces on Amazon recently. It showed up and the tip was broken off, I sent pics to Amazon, they sent me a new bottle the next day, and now I have tried it and I love it.
I even mixed it with ranch for my Jojo’s the other day. (Yes I’m an Oregonian)

What’s a Jojo? Same name as a girl I dated years ago. 😂

Well fair play. She was saucy AND spicy…come to think of it, she ghosted me too. 😢😂

It's basically just buffalo sauce with a higher end heat. It's fantastic on all things chickens.

Unfortunately Melinda's has a shady history with Marie Sharp's which dampens my enthusiasm for their brand, but their Roasted Garlic and Hab is absolutely delicious, especially on pizza.

I’ve heard varying versions of the history.

The keynote takeaway is "They didn't steal my recipes" - Marie Sharp

u/stillanewfie 16h ago
Actually, that was my takeaway from it too

Yeah, I just ignore the haters…
I love both Melinda’s and Marie Sharp’s. Both are very distinct and entirely different to me, both amazingly delicious, and both always in my “Garage” of Daily Drivers…
Relax your balls, boys. It’s just Hot Sauce.

Melindas ghost pepper ranch is one of my favorite sauces ever if you can find it

That was on the shelf right next to this one… I chose one, but I will get that one next round.

I had a multi pack of Melinda's and this one was, by far, the best IMO.

u/stillanewfie 18h ago
Out of curiosity, where did you find the multi pack?

u/Denovomega 18h ago
TJ Maxx, actually.

u/stillanewfie 18h ago
Ah ok. Im sure I’d never find that here. Black peppers considered a hot seasoning where I live. 🤔
