Today is National Hot Sauce Day.

https://www.instacart.com/company/updates/some-like-it-hot-instacart-reveals-spicy-new-insights-for-national-hot-sauce-day/?irgwc=1&utm_source=instacart_impact&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_term=partnertype-mediapartner_adtype-ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK_adname-Online%20Tracking%20Link&utm_campaign=partner-HuffPost&utm_content=clickid-QBVxBGyv7xyPWjjxN43C91b9UkHzmgw9r0JB100_campaignid-7412_partnerid-2706071_adid-413183_sharedid-

My question about all that is presented: Is Instacart the best metric?
If you could get total sales from all grocery stores/convenience stores/specialty stores, that would obviously be better.  But Instacart orders might be a reasonable approximation.

And assuming Instacart orders ARE a reasonable approximation, I'm curious why Texas would rank below, say, Colorado, in "hot sauces ordered" by oz/customer.  Colorado certainly isn't know for its affinity for spicy food.  So I think it might be that their definition of hot sauces must be limited to these pepper/vinegar blends like Frank's/Tobasco/etc., but it must not include salsas with their wider variety of more "fresh" ingredients like tomatoes, onions, tomatillos, etc.  Because when I go to a standard grocery store in Texas, the amount of shelf space allocated to salsa is probably more than double what is allocated to "hot sauces."  And I personally consume probably 50-1 oz of salsa over hot sauce on an average basis.

Why don't you just buy hotter store-bought salsa?

Come back down to Texico.  Most of the local salsas on the shelf are much hotter than those national hot sauce brands.

Louisiana Hot Sauce > Tobasco.

Tobasco might be the state mascot or whatever, but I said what I said.

I like both Louisiana Hot Sauce and Crystal better than Tobasco, but Tobasco seems to be the most common at restaurants, at least around here.

I like Cholula better than all of them but it's a different flavor.

While I'm at it, Slap Ya Mama seasoning > Tony Chacharie's.

They may revoke my Louisiana Card, but I will never stop Speaking Truth To Power.

Why would they do that?  Both Slap Yo Mama and Louisiana Hot Sauce are from the state of Louisiana.  

I don't have a strong opinion on the subject at hand, though.  I have both in my pantry.
