I dunno, seems to have worked out for the chillis - there’s more of them now than ever before
Life wouldn’t be the same without Tabasco. How could I ever eat my cotton candy or cereals without copious amounts of it?
Tabazco is for kids, try this weapon grade sauce (9 millon SHU)

It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Tabasco’s refined taste all the way.
It is about quality, that’s why I freakin’ hate tabasco
So your personal preferences dictate whether a product is good or not, and whether other people should also like it (“I do not like Tabasco, therefore its quality is shit”). Right. I’ll be sure to defer to you in my future personal tastes. 🙄
This is not a pissing contest about who can hold the most Carolina Reapers in. It’s a really subjective thing, which is why when the other commenter implied it was about hotness scale (which is valid foe those who go by it when choosing their preferred hot sauce), I personally go more by flavor. At least the other comment, while somewhat in condescending tone, was a way more productive opinion, backed with sources and actual measurements. 🤷♂️
Cheers.
What a bizarre comment. People don’t need to have what opinions are explained, do they?
Bizarre is hijacking jokes and memes to virtue-signal and crow about what you think is good or not. And don’t conflate personal opinions with objective quality, that’s the mistake many people make that triggers an explanation on what opinions are and their worth.
Do like the others and take that frustration elsewhere, as I didn’t engage with this meme post to battle semantics with frustrated reddit users. That’s my opinion for you and of you, do what you will with it.
I didn’t say anything about heat, just that tabasco is not a high quality sauce - It’s basically just red vinegar. If that’s what you’re into, enjoy. But you’re missing out on the good stuff if you’re settling for that
Every chilli sauce do it, the only difference is how spicy it is and the among of sauce you add to the food. A little spicy until a circulatory collapse and halucinations depends on the taste of each.
Tobacco plants: produce nicotine, a toxic alkaloid
Humans: imma smoke that shiiiiit
Humans: I will now cultivate you, export you, protect you and make sure you’re growing well so I can keep smoking you despite a 50% chance of dying from it.
Tobacco clearly has the last laugh in this story.

Well, it’s not like we’re immortal if we abstain.
I am
With a name like The Fartographer, I’m inclined to believe you. 👍
Until proof to the contrary, so am I
Let’s go fight in an epic clash of the immortals! First one to die, loses!
I dunno, it could go on forever
Every second I’ve lived so far, I haven’t died, so if we simply take that pattern and extrapolate it for each future second…
Tobacco clearly has the last laugh in this story.
One or two particular strains out of the entire vast diversity of tobacco plants is having the last laugh.
How fortunate then that the same species resistant to their defense actually goes on to cultivate it
Oh, we’re not resistant, we’re just crazy enough to like the pain. Birds are resistant and don’t feel it at all, they can eat chilis like fruits.
Well, given that it’s supposed to be toxic rather than just painful, I’d say we’re resistant in that it takes a high dose to kill us.
i wouldn’t really count body mass as resistence, by that measure every single mammal bar perhaps the field mouse is resistant to basically every toxin.
You’d have to eat a lot of pure cap to kill you. Oral LD50 in mice is 47.2 mg/kg (source). For an 80 kg person, that’s 3780 mg of pure cap. 1000mg of pure cap dropped into a pot of chili would be inedibly hot even to the most hardcore spicy food fan.
It’s funny if you think about it: Plant makes chemical (capsaicin) to help it thrive > humans love the painful spice, start growing and propagating peppers > Peppers spread grow like crazy. Evolution working exactly as it should
Is it ironic that those two sauces aren’t really that hot? 😂
Delicious, yes! But very low on the Scoville scale for hot sauce.
Is Tabasco delicious? I find the Sriracha from couple of years ago delicious (the current one is much worse), but Tabasco always tasted like a white vinegar mixed with capsaicin.
Yeah, Tabasco is the weakest link when it comes to hotsauce. Sriracha definitely is a step up, but even that has to move aside for the Buldak Sauce.
Buldak has become my go-to hotsauce. It’s so damned good.
the only hot sauce i’ve yet to actually find appealing is sambal olek, somehow the heat in that just makes me salivate and kinda feels more like sourness, as opposed to everything else where it’s just pain and like… no real flavour? with sambal olek i can actually taste the flavour in it.
Valentina is my favorite. Both the black and yellow labels are good, but I like drenching shit with the yellow (milder one).
Valentina is really tasty. Cholula is also nice.
None are HOT, though. 😂
Tabasco always tasted like a white vinegar mixed with capsaicin.
Exactly! Delicious.
If no eat, why so delicious?
Does anyone have an explanation for why they would evolve to prevent being eaten by mammals? I would think having mammals help spread their seeds would be beneficial?
Found the answer myself. Protects against fungal attacks. Also birds don’t have the same receptors to capsaicin.
Adding to the other responses, birds have simple digestion systems and the seed makes it into the poop, which birds do in flight so the seed will spread. Mammals digestive systems would destroy the seeds before they can spread
If not delicious then why delicious shaped?
Sometimes it also makes your ass go brrrrrr…
Why is the chili wearing a cape? Or is that… hair?
Plant: “I will let you feel pain”. Humans: “Jokes on you, I’m into that shit”
In the meantime, birds be like: “ultrahot? nom nom fruity”
