    I found some OG Sriracha at my local Asian market. Check out how much the 28 oz bottle goes for.

    • I found off-brand bottles locally for $2 and they were identical in every way except for the bottle design. Turns out Sriracha isn't hard to replicate at all.monospaced
    • $28 for 793 g?! God, man, time to make your own.Continuity
    • Chef John's got you, man:

    • Time to replicate, last time I bought it, I've paid 5€ for 815g (a thailandese recipe)OBBTKN
    • ^ That's great value!Continuity
    • I've had to try Shark and Polar brands and I'd pay 15-20 for a bottle of Huy Fong's! lolkaiyohtee

    • +2 Continuity, make your own without all the unnecessary added shit.MrT
    • btw, MrT, you still owe us a green hot sauce recipe!Continuity
    • This has to be regional, because I saw $8 yesterday and thought that was a bit stiff.garbage
    • So if i buy Sriracha at a Danish store, it's not the authentic stuff? It's a watered down European version??jagara
    • Even the authentic stuff is watered down. When I was a kid, that shit would roast me. They 100% watered down the recipe as it became more popular.garbage
    • I'm talking 15 years back, I noticed a huge difference. I got a bottle and it was like ketchup.garbage
    • I don’t know about that ...monospaced
    • @garbage could it be it's still as strong, and you're simply habituated?Continuity
    • i second the "make your own" route"pango
    • @continuity nah, I had a baseline of ghost at the time. They absolutely toned it down over the years as it got more popular.garbage
    • I've even laid off the super spicy stuff over the years. Haberno will still hit me, but the Rooster is just bland.garbage
