Pepper shortage and supply issues of the guy who made the original sauce popular. Only knockoffs now and they suck.

>>21969753
There was no shortage. Sriracha Tran decided he wanted to be greedy and even spy on the way his original pepper grower grew his peppers and his methods.He's a greedy fuck who deserves to lose market share.

the sriracha pandering was out of control. I'm pretty sure i was gifted some sriracha longsocks. and this keychain to take sriracha everywhere you go. i never used it because i was scared it would burst in my pocket.

>>21969767
I'm not sure who made the final decision overall, but it was absolutely retarded. Now Underwood Farms (original pepper farmers) have their own sriracha which uses the same peppers as the original Sriracha.

>>21969747
Reminds me of that tragedy.

>>21969745
The garlickyness.

Maybe 15 years ago I got a bottle, it was pretty good and used up within the week. Later I got another one and it was too sweet or something and haven't had it since.

>>21969745
It was just a commercial fad like any other. The fad chasing retards moved on to the new thing (they just got off hot honey and are now on "protein" [soy] versions of junk food).
>>21969750
>>21969753
That happened around COVID, long after the peak hype period for sraaracha sauce

>>21969745
the "shortage".
once people realized food tastes better without it they didn't care to buy it again after it came back.
>>21969806
protein was before hot honey.
it's meat honey now.

generic knockoffs are cheaper and taste better

>>21969794
yeah it seems to vary significantly between batches. I'd like to find a sriracha that's less sweet because the flavors are fine without the sugar.

I have tried Goose and Shark and they were both better than current Sriracha. The Underwood Farms is literally just sriracha.

>>21969773
I remember seeing some documentary a few years ago about how David Tran is the best employer in the world. I was sort of shocked when I heard he screwed over his supplier, maybe it was the son who knows.

what hype, it's a secondary staple like Tabasco. Not mayo, ketchup level but something most households will have if they eat hot food for white people.

It's good on a lot of things but it just lands in the pantheon of sauces on my sauce shelf. Good, Asian Hot Twang good for certain foods, but not gonna be put on everything. Had a similar run to the Tapito/Cholua run and the Southern Boomer Assfire Cartoon Sauce run all of which followed the Indie Barbecue Sauce run about 15 or so years ago.
Just expanding American/Western tastebuds as their diets diversify.
Nobody should be putting Tabasco on everything when a burrito tastes better with Tapatio, Fried noodles taste better with Sriracha and St Louis Barbecue tastes better with Frankie's F**king Fortified Fire Fart Fluid Ghost Pepper Sauce

People get desensitized to things, rarely does a food trend last. Pumpkin spice is one of the only things I've see last. IPAs had a good run but the association with sois killed their image.

>>21970114
>IPAs had a good run but the association with sois killed their image.
nah, it was mainly the advent of the alcoholic seltzer, and a renewed interest in fitness, plus a shift away from alcohol and toward legal marijuana by 20-30 year olds. IPAs are still being made and innovated upon, but the craft beer scene has become much more niche because tourists got filtered.

>>21969745
>What killed the hype?
The quality from one bottle to the next is insanely inconsistent.

Sometimes it has a very nice roasted garlic flavor.

Other times it tastes like some asshole got lazy and just threw raw garlic clove puree in there.

>>21970114
>the association with sois killed their image.
the only place that makes that association is this place. IPAs and craft beer in general are doing just fine in the real world

>>21970133
Multiple breweries have shut down in my city. Lagers and Belgian style beers have takilen over as the star pick. The IPAs are now usually one or two per brewery, when before they were 70% of the menu.
>>21970153
I would say you're the sheltered one. Outside of Reddit a lot of men are atleast mildly socially conservative. IPAs are known to be estrogenic amongst normies. Your friend circle made still like them, but they've lost a lot of the market share.

>>21970171
>The IPAs are now usually one or two per brewery, when before they were 70% of the menu.
that's true and i also think this is a result of brewers that were new in the IPA rush becoming better over time. bombastic high alcohol dry hopped IPAs are like the easiest thing to make. it takes more skill to make something more subtle. maybe breweries are shutting down, but the ones that persist probably have more experienced and gifted brewers who have decided to make more complex styles. that being said, the nee IPAs i do see are more creative than they were 10 years ago.

fucking sucks that you will never get to eat 2014 siracha ever again. The shit used to be RED and now its like orange lol the family that owns it fumbled the bag so hard

>>21970221
They'll read comments like these and add red food coloring instead of sourcing higher quality ingredients.

>>21970171

kid you need to get off 4chan.

>IPAs are known to be estrogenic amongst normies.
no it's not lmao. the only people that peddle this are weak effete zoomer incels whose idea of rebelling is telling everyone how much he hates drugs.

>>21969806
Might have been a fad, it was legit tasty. Now I won't touch it, not the same.

>>21970171
>IPAs are known to be estrogenic amongst normies.
wouldn't all beers be estrogenic because of the hops then?

a lot of IPAs just taste bad and the people who act like they're tough for drinking them is probably what turns people off rather than anything about estrogen.

For a very brief time I was able to buy a hot honey pizza at coles and it was quite nice, but then it just suddenly disappeared, it being part of some broader fad that's gone now explains that I guess

People made siracha their whole personality, which made the brand cringe

>>21971279
Secret Aardvark is weird. It's got a certain sweetness that makes it taste almost more like a spicy barbecue sauce than a normal hot sauce.

>>21969745
sriracha was never good. anyone who likes it is just pretending to fit in with the crowd. it's fucking terrible. i could literally beat the shit out of ANYONE that likes sriracha

Pepper supplier dispute and C19 killed the hype.

>>21970171
>they've lost a lot of the market share.
I wish somebody would tell that to every single grocery store in my city. Years ago they all had pretty diverse selections. But now it's literally just IPAs (50%+), macro piss beer and seltzer. All I want is to be able to buy a good stout without having to make an extra trip to the fucking liquor store.

>>21969752
yeah I've had a big sriracha-branded coffee cup in my rotation of three cups for 20 years and it's now marking me as undeniably corny but I've never gone half this long without breaking one so what am I gonna do

Yep, underripe, lower quality peppers. They are rushing out a lower quality product with still partially green peppers...and now it is damn near triple the price. What a total disaster.

Nah, their pepper supplier only supplied peppers to Sriracha so Sriracha tried to fuck them over in order to increase shareholder profits (not even by a lot). The pepper suppliers stopped doing businesses with them and then Sriracha panicked and scrambled to find a new (and worse) supplier.

> "Sneed's Special Sauce"
> 1 Part Sriracha
> 1 Part Cream Cheese
> Dash of Carolina Reaper Powder, to taste
> 1/2 tsp. Chef's Salt, to taste

> Optional addition for maximum zest:
> 1/2 Part Minced Jalapenos

> Chef's Salt:
> 4 Parts fine-grained table salt
> 1 Part MSG

>>21977996
It also goes good in eggs, or as a dipping sauce for Chicken.

Please let me know if you find any other uses for this stuff.

>>21977996
It's me again.

By the way I'm back and I just wanted to tell you that I started making my own Sriracha during the shortage. It might not taste *exactly* the same, but you can keep adjusting the flavor until you get it:

> Cover completely in White Vinegar and simmer together for 10 minutes:
> 1 Part Garlic Cloves
> 1 Part Red Peppers
> Sugar (to taste)
> Chef's Salt (to taste)

Sorry for the crappy ratios. I think this is right. If you want more tang, let the ingredients sit together as long as you want. Just keep an eye out for mold, and make sure you get the salt ratio right.

Press the whole mess through a sieve to remove any seeds. You can blend it for a while if you want it to be smoother.

Sometimes I like to pump up the heat with more Carolina Reaper.

Another twist you should try, that I really like:
