Why is the better Sriracha (Huy Fong) losing the swiss chili-sauce war?

  1. Maybe it’s just my bad luck, but I feel like it used to be much easier to get. Now I have to go to a specific asian store in the city, while the sugary alternative is being sold everywhere.

  2. I didn’t look closely enough and bought the wrong one a few weeks ago. Not fan of the copy cat version. Bottle, logo and text is so similar but the taste is so different. Really strange situation for consumers.

  3. As a person who eats very spicy, I actually never understood how Siracha sauce is so popular. Yes it’s tasty, but there are tons of better sauces in my opinion.

  4. I found a bottle at the Asian market. The best “knock off” sriracha is the Tabasco one. This goose one is shit. I’d rather eat no sriracha than that crap!

  5. I always ate the rooster stuff when I was in the US but now I’m fine with the other one.

    But now I discovered Laoganma chili crisp and I’m seriously addicted to it despite the fact that it tastes weird.

  6. I wasn’t even aware there are different Sriracha sauces, always only had the rooster one.

  7. Here in the US you couldn’t find Huy Fong Sriracha for about a year and a half. It just started coming back to stores about two months ago. How does the flying goose brand compare?

  8. The company explained near the end of last year that they have a shortage of chili’s due to the weather afaik.
    They haven’t produced as much as they usually do which is why it’s hard to come by these days

  9. The goose one has always been cheaper at Asian stores.

    Coop replaced Huy Fong with Goose but kept the price. Go figure.

  10. Coop and Migros switched the Huy Fong one to the ‘fake’ one, either unaware of its huge difference in taste/sugar content or thinking customers don’t notice.

    We do notice. Please give us the original sauce back. I am not buying these knock-offs. 🙏
