    I just believe words have meaning

    If Taco Bell has sauces that are Hot, Fire, and Diablo then what are other actual hot sauces called?

    It’s hyperbole, like someone saying their chicken wings were AMAZING.

    If by some miracle Jesus came down from heaven and made sweet love to you all night what would you call it? They’ve already wasted AMAZING on a damn chicken wing.

    credit to Louis CK for the Jesus bit

      Hot sauce has a long history of hyperbole with marketing. I get that a lot of folks have a preference for high spice (I am one) and the pinch of cayenne that goes into a fancy fruit pie or taco bell sauce packet is going to be barely detectable, but I cook a lot for other folks and if someone says they don’t like any spice then diablo will ruin their night.

      I’d call that shit biblical, messianic. Miraculous, even.

      I probably wouldn’t enjoy it though because I don’t like men that way.
