Can Franks red hot sauce go bad?

[ElFenix]

Wonder if he still has that bottle

Hello FuzzyDunlop,
I have been looking for a one gallon glass Franks Red Hot jug with the label intact for a display. A google search led me to this thread. Do you still have this item, and if so, would you consider selling it. I don't need the hot sauce lol.
Thanks,

I'm fascinated by the fact that he registered in January and then waited a few days to necro this thread. Wuuuuuut?

I love this shit on chicken wings. I whipped up a batch of wings for the Super Bowl last weekend. Soo good!!!

Throw in a few squirts of ranch dressing and a couple squirting of siracha and it's even better.

oh? like the white crusty stuff that has built up around the walls?

Please leave my wife out of this.

I bought a 2-pack from BJs before I even moved into this house. That was way over 5 years ago and just last night I saw the first bottle was only 75% done.

EDIT>> lol bought before this thread was first created.

Seriously people. I just want a glass gallon jug of Franks. That is all there is to it - a display item. I am real. My other interests besides Frank's hot sauce ( lol ) are Plymouth Superbirds and Metaphysics. Go to BRCook.com for proof of my existence.
This forum won't let me send a message directly until I have 25 posts so...... I just posted on this thread.
Thanks,

IMO franks is always bad,

 

[RossMAN]

Is the OP still alive? I call dibs on their stuff.

 

[Goky]

Finding one of these has proven more challenging than finding a Cap'n Crunch Spooky Pirate. I did get one of those so...

It's pickled. It never goes bad.

You're pickled and you've always been bad.

I've never known a hot sauce to actually go bad, but has anyone else noticed that they lose their heat over time? In particular, I've noticed this with Sriracha after just a few weeks, even when kept in the fridge. I've also noticed a fair amount of inconsistency with Huy Fong's Sriracha in terms of initial heat, and wonder whether it has to do with when it was bottled with respect to when the peppers were harvested.

I still have the bottle. The label is not intact though.

I use to store homemade beer and wine.

Definately, they all get weaker over time-but maybe not just a few weeks. I have a big collection of hot sauces bought over the years. They also turn brown, but all still edible. I would venture that OP's five year hot sauce is still good.

 

[Goky]

Ok, Thanks for responding. I will continue my search.
Question: Does the glass have the Franks logo cast into it?

 

[Nograts]

I smoke and even with everything tasting like cigarettes I can tell this shit is toxic. Are you serious?

Peppers have a wide variety of heat even in the same type of pepper. Chiles and jalapenos can range from "eh, that's warm" to "OMG that's almost a habanero fffffuuuuuouch!!"

I'm not sure if it's due to environmental factors (amount of hot sun, soil, being near other types of peppers) or what. But there's a lot of inconsistency in general heat of peppers that I'm sure has an impact on the various batches of hot sauces.

How to tell if food has gone bad:

If the bottle or food in question has spontaneously achieved autonomous locomotion it has gone bad and should be chased after, shot, killed and buried. Otherwise it's fine.

Yeah, but stuff that's mass produced like Sriracha or Tabasco doesn't usually suffer from a wide variety of batch variation because the vats are so massive that it effectively ensures a consistent product; any overly hot peppers will get balanced out with random weak ones. Now if you have a locally made hot sauce produced in small enough batches, you'll probably see a bit of variation from bottle to bottle (and even then, probably not an enormous amount). I wouldn't expect it from Sriracha though.

Hot sauce can go off, especially with excessive light and heat. I doubt it would be harmful, but it tastes very bad.
