Today’s another obscure holiday–Hot Sauce Day! Since I’m a lover of hot sauces, I thought celebrating them would be fun.
Did you know that chili peppers originated in the Americas? They were spread around the world by Spanish and Portuguese traders. They get their heat from something called capsaicinoids. They’re rated, too, on something called the Scoville Scale. Reading the rating of some of the hot sauces I looked at, I’m a bit of a weenie with my favorite sauces (Cholula, Tabasco, and Frank’s) only rating in the 1000s. Tabasco is the hottest in my fridge at 7,000. Da Bomb, which I listed in the puzzle, is a scorching 119,000 to 1.5 million!
So, for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, tell me whether you’re a fan of hot sauces and which ones are in your fridge!

I have always kept Tobasco sauce in the cabinet. I don’t use it all the time but it is a staple in my spice cabinat

Nope! Not a fan. Have none in my fridge. But, thank you for the puzzle. They are a bit more challenging these days.

Kerry! Tabasco is likely in many, many pantries!
Pansy! LOL. I get it. I love the spice, but I get not wanting to have your mouth on fire. Glad you enjoyed the puzzle.
