That list of ingredients is awful.

“Red jalapeno, sugar, water, salt acetic acid, garlic, natural flavor, xanthan gum, sodium metabisulfite, and/or sodium bisulfite (sulfiting agent / preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative).”

I’ve had sriracha in the past and it’s disgustingly sweet. Apparently it’s 17% sugar!

How much sauce are you putting on your food though? 17% sugar is bad in a drink where it adds up fast, but for a hot sauce where you're using maybe 2 teaspoons max (likely less), that's like 1-2 grams of sugar. Essentially a rounding error in your daily intake.

Sure, you can skip sugar entirely if you want to. But then you're getting a different flavor entirely. Southeast Asian stuff is often sweet and spicy and gets that flavor through sugar. No way around it, unless you're using artificial sweeteners.

I think GP was commenting about the taste, not the grams of sugar it adds to your daily intake.

And I agree. I like many varieties of hot sauce, but sriracha is just too sweet for me.

It's the same reason I am picky about Thai restaurants. So many of them lean hard on the sugar. Not to my taste! I like a more balanced flavor.

If you don't want sugar, Huy Fong's chili garlic sauce is an option.

nothing about this ingredients list is awful, what are you talking about?

But it has chemicals in it...

i wouldn’t last a day as a food chemist

For some of us it's a fairly boring taste. Pepper plus vinegar plus sugar is basically spicy ketchup. That's good for some but not for others.

I like the taste of peppers but most hot sauces taste more like vinegar or capsaicin than actual peppers. I think I'm sensitive to vinegar, and my spice tolerance is not always high.

I find Chili crisp to get me what I want.

One of the man was convicted and put to death for killing his abusive mother. Don't get me wrong, killing is bad, he should feel bad and get punished, but his brother forgave him, he already did 20 (!) years, I don't know who you're protecting by putting him to death. A second mother?

They should put the reason before the text so you know none of them are worth reading.

I think it is important to be reminded that first and foremost they are humans too. A basic level of respect does not mean you like or agree with them. Leading with the statements emphasises that.

Besides, aren't their last words the entire point of the site?

There’s a lot of good for Jews who get to benefit from it though.

What we should do is make gas four times more expensive through taxes to guarantee the poor never vote for the progressives again. Unironically.

Allegations of cherry-picking scant bits of evidence to support a claim are less effective when that claim is held up by vast quantities of distinct, high-quality evidence.

my wife is an actuary, and we always joke that you know climate change has real cause and effect because the actuaries are specifically monitoring and modeling for it lol

Hell the US military takes it into account

Can you apply that too to the "earth is round" argument?

The heliocentric model of our solar system "argument"?

I guess general relativity is only a "theory" in the end, geodude420 on twitter has an awesome thread debunking that Einstein schlub's whole career!

Those laptops look very good on paper, now buy one and tell us how it goes.

But I have been and so many around me have been buying those. They are ok.

This reminds me of people crying over toybox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toybox#Controversy

Educate yourself on how it works before you say something like this.

Pun aside, I cannot fully trust a centralized URL checker on a remote server that I don’t own, even if they guarantee that my privacy is safe

This but unironically. If it wasn’t for greed we would be in the caves still.

It turns out any kind of extremism is a problem.
