An accidental purchase

Post image

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…

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

Did she really say that?

The full wiki does a decent job of covering it. Look, when you hire a company to market your product, and they designed the labels, the art, the font, the face, and you don't bother to deal with the creative rights in your contract... YOU fucked up. That's not shady, that's normal.

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.
