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.
@forebrain@k4evryng@rpstrong And honestly, with hot sauces, they almost always stay good waaay past the best-before dates. Look at the fact that in Ohio, a marriage that’s on it’s fourth bottle of Tabasco is likely to have produced great-grandkids that are in college now.
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.
@IndifferentDude@pmarin Belafonte’s recordings got a hefty boost for a while when Beetlejuice came out, largely because of the amazing scene where Shirley MacLaine lipsynchs Belafonte’s rendition of The Banana Boat Song.
@blaineg@craigthom@Kyeh This movie I mentioned on another thread (goat thread that is not linked so nobody except a few rare ones go there). But, Airplane! translation of “Golly!”
/youtube Airplane! golly scene
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.
@agnesnutter@blaineg@djslack I bought a bunch from what I thought was the official US store and was identified as such. It now redirects to pepperheadz.com. All they sell is Marie Sharp’s, but I’m not sure it’s official.
My local grocery store also carries a variety. I think they buy a set when they run low, so different flavors run out long before they reorder. That’s why I buy several “hot” big bottles when they come out.
I really like it. It’s got good heat without being painful, and the habanero flavor comes through. And it’s not sweet.
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!
@JvB yay!! Def hope you enjoy them… there’s def worse ways to blow six bucks!
On that note, if you like heat and flavor, check out Flatiron Pepper Co… they’ve got the absolute best crushed peppers anywhere.
I like them so much I have just about everything they have… even “I Can’t Feel My Face”, their 450k scoville blend…for when I want my face to melt, lol
My absolute favorite and go-to is the Dark and Smokey though.
@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?
@Kyeh@mediocrebot@PHRoG@pmarin
And it’s definitely made of common lumber, so I’d give the AI bot a 3 outta 3. It usually ignores one or more of the requested features.
Plus, I guess it also didn’t mess up any of the “limbs” this time. Bonus point?
@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.
@djslack@PHRoG@warpedrotors Everything beyond the below quote is what our writeup was going to be when we thought we were getting all older labels. We didn’t discover until Friday at 3:30pm that we were sent newer labels.
So with all that said, step carefully through this blurry floating oval that is the PORTAL INTO THE MEHTIVERSE:
Is anyone else thrown off by the use of a dash in place of a hyphen? The phrase
“meal—enhancing sauce” makes me think that William Shatner is—speaking in his—William Shat—ner—way.
@blaineg Vintage Heart is so great. They both appeared on Kelly Clarkson show (TKCS NYC) earlier this year and had a full hour of interviews. Really worth finding if you are a Heart fan.
Learned history of “Barracuda” was about a really sleazy concert promoter making suggesting comments about if they like to “do it together”. Ya think there were sleazy concert promoters then? There was then, I guess there still are now. Heart really blazed a path defying all the male-dominated world of music and here they are still 50 years later. Even if you don’t know Heart very well (don’t just judge by the few radio-play songs), they made way for people from Madonna (also starting 40 years ago) to Taylor Swift to unapologetically do their music today.
@blaineg I saw them at an outdoor “Day on the Green” concert in Oakland (where Raiders used to play) around 1980. Back in the day, had most of the vinyl, which I still have, but no working turntable at the moment. I was always partial to the Dog and Butterfly album, which was in a “gatefold” (I think it’s called) which opens up to a large artwork (only 1 disc but still a gatefold). I loved the way art and album composition went together in those days. The 2 sides of the vinyl were not numbered 1/2 or letter Side A/B, but were simply called “Dog” and “Butterfly.” The Dog side was primarily heavy rock electric guitar; Ann Wilson being intense as only she can, and the Butterfly side was primarily acoustic with amazing harmonies. “Mistral Wind” is an amazing song because it starts out all mellow and acoustic and you are lulled into a peaceful day on the ocean, and then the wind comes up and it gets heavy very quickly.
Don’t know how we got here from hot sauce, but whatever…
I noticed that the NEW bottles have pop tops and not twist tops like the old bottles. Not a big deal in storage or the fridge, but less conventient for travel. Not that I still won’t get some, but generally this brand is too sweet for my tastes, but only had the basic siracha.
These little guys are the sauces I take backpacking to spice up freeze-dried meal packs. They’re small and easy to pack when space is tight. They’re usually $4+ each at REI so this is obviously a good deal. However, don’t expect amazing unique flavor or anything - they’re fine, but nothing special taste-wise. And really not very spicy, even the habanero sauce.
@windfish113 They’re $1 at many Walmart stores, too, usually in a standalone display by the open bin freezers near the seafood or meats section. Along with lots of other options, if you want to up the spice quotient.
@stazja01 Three days in December; the latest is 12/21/24. My experience with hot sauces has bveen that they stay good well past that if refrigerated. (The ones in glass bottles are almost always good for more than a year after the date, even at room temp, it unopened. Alas, these are in plastic; like sriracha, I’ll keep them in the fridge.)
@HeyBim@troy So is the description wrong then? Pretty clearly says that the white label is what is being sold today here, and the yellow (new) label is what others are selling elsewhere…
@werehatrack I tried others but they were also non-macaw. I think it’s dictionary doesn’t parse “macaw” yet. Kind-of strange since the AI art bot (different bot I think; these are not the Bots you’re looking for…) seems to be getting pretty creative to the point where it scares the Hell out of me.
@dave Oh, thank you very much. I saw the 2 oz and thought it would be much smaller. These are a good deal bigger than the little $1 ones from the store I’ve tried before.
I tried Yellowbird bliss & vinegar sauce a long time ago. Really good. I’m getting a 2-pack of this set, as it is 100% worth it getting like 4 bottles of sauce for the same price as one!
@connorbush Items that are not sold out sometimes are allowed to remain available for as much as a couple of weeks now. There are exceptions, but you can usually pick up stuff from at least as much as a week ago - except for the 'thon listings, which slam closed at the end of the 'thon.
This would be a great deal if the bottles weren’t 3" high (not including the oversize cap). Too much sugar in all of them and the serrano one just tastes like onions
@drewg12
On the bright side, these are TSA approved!
(Sorry… I’ve been traveling a lot lately so the size just hit me. Actually planning to go outside and pick peppers today to start a batch of pepper sauce.)

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.
@Luko26 for Sriracha I really like the farm that grows the peppers Huy Fong used to use before they screwed over the farmer: Underwood Ranches
@Luko26 @ShotgunX Thanks for the tip! I picked up a bottle on a whim, and it’s great! Very garlic forward. So much more flavor than the Rooster.
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…

@forebrain @k4evryng @werehatrack They aren’t expiration dates; they’re 'Best used by" dates. The concern is over taste, not health risks.
@forebrain @k4evryng @rpstrong And honestly, with hot sauces, they almost always stay good waaay past the best-before dates. Look at the fact that in Ohio, a marriage that’s on it’s fourth bottle of Tabasco is likely to have produced great-grandkids that are in college now.
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?

@djslack and I say old style bottles… I mean the ones in the main photo. Old, new, IDK, I’m confused now.
@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.
@djslack ahh, Marie Sharp’s! Haven’t had that since I went to Belize in high school (and then ran out of the bottles I brought back with me)…

There was then, I guess there still are now. Heart really blazed a path defying all the male-dominated world of music and here they are still 50 years later. Even if you don’t know Heart very well (don’t just judge by the few radio-play songs), they made way for people from Madonna (also starting 40 years ago) to Taylor Swift to unapologetically do their music today.
@pmarin I’m a big Heart fan, I’ve got most of their albums, and saw an outdoor concert at Park City years ago.
Some of their middle stuff doesn’t do much for me, but I love the early albums, and Heart & Bad Animals.
Some of their best stuff never got airplay. Roger Fisher’s guitar in Sing Child is the equal of any of the better know guitar heroes.

@blaineg I saw them at an outdoor “Day on the Green” concert in Oakland (where Raiders used to play) around 1980. Back in the day, had most of the vinyl, which I still have, but no working turntable at the moment. I was always partial to the Dog and Butterfly album, which was in a “gatefold” (I think it’s called) which opens up to a large artwork (only 1 disc but still a gatefold). I loved the way art and album composition went together in those days. The 2 sides of the vinyl were not numbered 1/2 or letter Side A/B, but were simply called “Dog” and “Butterfly.” The Dog side was primarily heavy rock electric guitar; Ann Wilson being intense as only she can, and the Butterfly side was primarily acoustic with amazing harmonies. “Mistral Wind” is an amazing song because it starts out all mellow and acoustic and you are lulled into a peaceful day on the ocean, and then the wind comes up and it gets heavy very quickly.
Don’t know how we got here from hot sauce, but whatever…

I’ve tried several sauces from this manufacturer, and found them pretty stinking tasty, so count me in!

@mediocrebot Looks like all the Supercharger spots are full.
I noticed that the NEW bottles have pop tops and not twist tops like the old bottles. Not a big deal in storage or the fridge, but less conventient for travel. Not that I still won’t get some, but generally this brand is too sweet for my tastes, but only had the basic siracha.
@enville the big bottles have snap on caps but the little ones still have the twist caps.
The twist caps this small actually suck if the sauce has any chunks in it because they clog easily.

@pskemp2 “New York City???”
@blaineg @pskemp2 Git a rope.
These little guys are the sauces I take backpacking to spice up freeze-dried meal packs. They’re small and easy to pack when space is tight. They’re usually $4+ each at REI so this is obviously a good deal. However, don’t expect amazing unique flavor or anything - they’re fine, but nothing special taste-wise. And really not very spicy, even the habanero sauce.
@windfish113 They’re $1 at many Walmart stores, too, usually in a standalone display by the open bin freezers near the seafood or meats section. Along with lots of other options, if you want to up the spice quotient.
Eh, wottheheck.

@goose08 Sorry, I couldn’t place your order. Something went terribly wrong.
What’s the expiration date on these?
Found it in the specs. They all have best by dates in december.
@stazja01 Three days in December; the latest is 12/21/24. My experience with hot sauces has bveen that they stay good well past that if refrigerated. (The ones in glass bottles are almost always good for more than a year after the date, even at room temp, it unopened. Alas, these are in plastic; like sriracha, I’ll keep them in the fridge.)
If the white packaging is indeed the new packaging, then the new packaging sucks.
@HeyBim Yellow packaging is the new packaging (and is what we’re selling today)
@HeyBim @troy So is the description wrong then? Pretty clearly says that the white label is what is being sold today here, and the yellow (new) label is what others are selling elsewhere…
@spork151 Make sure you read the intro text above the images – it explains why
@spork151 @troy I guess your writer’s humor was a bit too intricate for a lot of readers.
But also … it’s kind of odd that people really care.

@pmarin Giphy wasn’t being very creative here.
@werehatrack I tried others but they were also non-macaw. I think it’s dictionary doesn’t parse “macaw” yet. Kind-of strange since the AI art bot (different bot I think; these are not the Bots you’re looking for…) seems to be getting pretty creative to the point where it scares the Hell out of me.
Today’s meh face is very appropriately not-meh.
Double up? I can leave some at the office. I’m in.

That’s actually rather good. I wonder where the 'bot found the art that “inspired” this…
The top of this one is weird (ours is all yellow) but this should give a decent idea of the scale size of these bottles:
@dave Oh, thank you very much. I saw the 2 oz and thought it would be much smaller. These are a good deal bigger than the little $1 ones from the store I’ve tried before.

Selling shit in packages this size needs to be outlawed. Nothing but landfill fodder.
@Pufferfishy just reuse the bottles for your eyedrops
@Pufferfishy @warpedrotors What could possibly go wrong?
I tried Yellowbird bliss & vinegar sauce a long time ago. Really good. I’m getting a 2-pack of this set, as it is 100% worth it getting like 4 bottles of sauce for the same price as one!
@sstaver Except they’re teeny tiny little bottles.
@werehatrack not too teeny. Normal size is about 6oz, so 2.2 times 3 is the same as one normal.
This size bottle is anywhere from three months’ worth to one meal’s worth of sauce depending on your level of sauce addiction.
Wait, how did I just successfully purchase this right now? Isn’t the deal over?
@connorbush Items that are not sold out sometimes are allowed to remain available for as much as a couple of weeks now. There are exceptions, but you can usually pick up stuff from at least as much as a week ago - except for the 'thon listings, which slam closed at the end of the 'thon.
@werehatrack what a wild time to be alive. deal a day for many days era.
@connorbush Thanks for the heads up! Just bought 12 more
The scientists in my office destroyed the 3 bottles I brought in, in two days.

Great deal! Can’t wait to try the hot sauces!
This would be a great deal if the bottles weren’t 3" high (not including the oversize cap). Too much sugar in all of them and the serrano one just tastes like onions
@drewg12
On the bright side, these are TSA approved!
(Sorry… I’ve been traveling a lot lately so the size just hit me. Actually planning to go outside and pick peppers today to start a batch of pepper sauce.)
These are teeny, tiny bottles
@bgodsy But they are delicious. At $1 for a 2.2oz bottle the pricing is better than some of the bigger bottles of store bought hot sauce.
