What’s Included?
Six Yellowbird Hot Sauces (2x Sriracha, 2x Habanero, 2x Serrano)
@Luko26@ShotgunX ok I bought it. Who else? I tried a few brands in past, never liked them as much but on continuous hunt.
As to yellow bird, I always wanted to like them but never too impressed. I’ve since stopped trying a million brands and stick to siracha (OG rooster), Dave’s insanity sauce, and whatever clean Mexican habanero I can find.
@k4evryng If your stocking stuffer recipients are the sort that care, the products have a best by date four days before Christmas (“Best By 12/21/24” in the descriptions above).
Honestly, the amount of expired condiments we’ve had in our fridge in the past (before we realized they were expired) should comfort him that he won’t die.
I’m kind of terrible with expiration dates in general, unless it’s something that spoils quickly.
@forebrain@k4evryng@werehatrack Nothing is going to happen to properly sealed hot sauce for another two or three years past the expiration date. Maybe there will be a slightly oxidized layer on top, but the product will be fine.
I’ve never heard of this brand, and it allegedly comes from Austin? Three months left on the “best by”? Tiny itty-bitty bottles? And the sriracha-ish type is loaded with fructose 'cause it’s made with agave nectar? Not blowing my kilt up here. (Hot sauce generally can go waaaay past that date and still kick, but we’re talking things like Tabasco there.)
@werehatrack you won’t be missing much. I’ve tried a number of theirs, never impressed. I eat a lot of hot sauce but of course, anything about different horses/ different courses.
@IndifferentDude Thanks for digging that up. Was looking for an old Harry Belafonte video but most just had a picture of a record with no video. I remember my parents (married in 1950s) loved Harry Belafonte and we still had vinyl records and would play sometimes. Harry Belafonte was an amazing singer and created so much iconic music. Also in recent years was a Bernie Sanders supporter. Sadly, Harry Belafonte died a few years ago but a very influential life for music and culture.
So… The old style bottles are/were part of the $1 hot sauce bins at Walmart, where I have bought quite a few of these. I stocked up when all the Yellow Bird sauces went to $0.25/bottle at the store nearest me, probably because the new look is coming.
They are solid hot sauces if you like sweetened heat. They tend towards the sweeter and fruity side rather than punishing heat, but they do have some decent kick to them. If the only hot sauce you’ve ever had is Tabasco or Frank’s, then you’re in for a taste treat as these are not primarily vinegar and pepper flavored.
I wanted to say based on my thoughts that the Sriracha is too sweet for my tastes, but a quick fridge check tells me that it’s by far the emptiest of the ones currently in there so it sees some use.
I like the habanero best but that’s probably personal preference. The habanero is carrot based and the Serrano uses carrots, so if you’ve had Marie Sharp’s you’ve been close to this flavor neighborhood.
I was super pumped that Meh had a hot sauce offering, but I can’t justify buying this when I have quite a few bottles of this in my pantry and just realized that yep, they’re best by later this year.
@djslack also for those who want to explore… Tabasco’s Sriracha is really good, though also on the sweet side. And if you want to compare what America has done to Sriracha versus the original inspiration, pick up a bottle of Sriraja Panich. Not so sweet, more twang and a little bit of fish sauce funk to it.
I’ve been buying yellowbird for YEARS, ever since someone gave me a gift set and it’s FANTASTIC!
It’s not the hottest stuff at all, quite mild…but, what it does have is really good flavor.
I buy direct and have the large bottles, so, don’t need to order any…but, for $6 to try it out, you can’t go wrong.
Also, as long as you keep it refrigerated, I wouldn’t stress about the expiration date. I didn’t open the set I was gifted until like 6 months after it had expired (didn’t realize it until much later) and, I’m sure to some’s dismay, I’m still breathing!
@mediocrebot A.I.: Why, just why? You gave a stack of scrap lumber a face. What is it you are doing to us? Of course it’s cute. We would invite it in to our living room, if it would fit through the door. And then what do you serve it?
@katsuronishi I was going to ask if they sold it in stores. I use the habanero (black) version almost exclusively at Fuzzy’s. Both their sauces are good but these Yellow Bird sauces are not at all the same. They have significant sweet and fruity flavors that go well with different things. But yes, butt burnin sauce is great on tacos. I wouldn’t mind having a big squeeze bottle of it like in the restaurant… Maybe I should just go make friends with them.
If you’re selling the bottles with the old label, why are all the pictures of bottles with the new label? I prefer the old label, except for the weird use of the word “condiment.” I guess they were trying to market it to people who don’t like hot sauce or something. “Oh, it’s a habanero condiment? I’m glad it’s not a sauce.” Most hot sauces have labels that look like someone sketched something up in MSPaint and slapped an “ASS-BURNIN’” in a stupid font on there, so it doesn’t take much to improve the labels.
@warpedrotors I don’t know now if the white label is the new label or the old label. The writeup that tried to make it clear makes it super unclear. But the picture with the white label is a large bottle with 2.2 oz photoshopped in on it too. The bottles they’ve been selling at Walmart for quite some time now look like the main (“hot sauce” bottle) photos.
@warpedrotors it says they’re selling bottles with the new label (the white one), but, the writer figured that because Meh buys a lot of closeouts and because Yellow Bird rebranding, that must be why Meh is selling them and that they must be the old labels.
@PHRoG@warpedrotors so damn confusing… I went and checked. The white “condiment” is the old label. The yellow “hot sauce” with the angry Big Bird on it is the new one.
@djslack@warpedrotors I’m not home, so I can’t check mine…but, yeah, Google says white is old.
Also, there’s this part of the write-up:
Note: the product you will actually get should you order this tasty hot sauce, will not come from this alternate universe, and will actually have that newer label.

The sriracha one was actually a good replacement when the real Sriracha hot sauce was gone a few years ago.
@Luko26 This one is much better than the “original” one anyway:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ILKXP8
Lots of other companies make a better sauce now.
@Luko26 @ShotgunX ok I bought it. Who else? I tried a few brands in past, never liked them as much but on continuous hunt.
As to yellow bird, I always wanted to like them but never too impressed. I’ve since stopped trying a million brands and stick to siracha (OG rooster), Dave’s insanity sauce, and whatever clean Mexican habanero I can find.
@Luko26 @qazxto Honestly, the sauce that comes with Buldak ramen is great as a mixer for milder bases, like mayo.
I’m also a fan of Frank’s, both the sauce and powdered spice versions of their various flavors.
Sauce tastes are very subjective anyway.
Hot stuff!
I have been seeing missing signs for Big Bird, so this makes sense.
So, like 8 shots for $6.
But I’m not encouraging people to drink 1.5 oz of hot sauce.
@Euniceandrich Well you’re not discouraging them either.
I guess I’ll get more hot sauce, to add to the large collection of bottles I’ll never actually get through…

Thanks for the stocking stuffers Meh!
Cool! (But also not cool)
@k4evryng If your stocking stuffer recipients are the sort that care, the products have a best by date four days before Christmas (“Best By 12/21/24” in the descriptions above).
@forebrain @k4evryng That’s the latest date; the others are earlier in the month.
@forebrain @werehatrack yeah….I saw that…but hopefully my son won’t care.
Honestly, the amount of expired condiments we’ve had in our fridge in the past (before we realized they were expired) should comfort him that he won’t die.

I attempted to purchase but it looks like I am no longer VMP?!
Fun write up though!
@connorbush perhaps your credit card expired so the transaction was denied?
@cengland0 the card I have on file says it’s good until next month. It is linked to my Google pay I think so I have so many backup. But maybe?
Sure, why not. Can always use more hot sauce.

@blaineg And I’m worried about the multiple order numbers with “gullible” in them …
When I said that it feels meh is always giving me the bird, I didn’t mean it like this.

@mediocrebot @pmarin It was trying to make it “amusing.”
@Meh, I’ll stick with buying Fuzzy’s Taco Shop “Butt Burnin Sauce” at around the same price.
