    Not that they need me to advertise for them, but my understanding is that there’s quite a lot of flavor variety in the “Hot Ones” sauces. I do not enjoy spiciness, so I cannot comment on their quality beyond that.

    The Kent Survival YouTube channel does also frequently reference the many tastes in their sauces, but again, I cannot personally comment on quality.

    One of my old co-workers literally carries around an unlabeled bottle of white sauce that he claims is both flavorful and spicy. Our other erstwhile co-workers disagree and say that the spiciness overwhelms everything else, but he swears by it. I can see if he’ll disclose what it is.

    Regardless of whether you pursue any of my suggestions, I hope you find the balance you seek!

      As someone who loves spicy to the point of literally sweating, do NOT get The Bomb from Hot Ones. That shit is not fit for human consumption. Literally 2 drops for a plate of food is a risk. When I first got it, I put a dab on a chip and tried it directly. The head high felt like I was on actual drugs. Once in a while, I’ll bust it out just to know I still feel. It’s not for food though.

      If you figure out what your coworkers sauce of choice is, let me know too. I love spice, but haven’t found a good staple to keep on hand.
