When we’re bored with our scrambled eggs or our chicken wings feeling flat (even when they’re drums), nothing hurts quite as good as a drop of hot sauce (or fifty). So we were happy to conduct an experiment to rank the best hot sauces.

2. TRUFF Original Black Truffle Infused Sauce

[{"selector":"#anim-b60e56b8-209d-4f78-a2ab-4493ad5169f4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84d68a36-ed3c-4292-92fd-bfa67da8dc37","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c32e670-5744-4358-b56c-cb317f61a24a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac143963-4861-44bd-8d00-21de7da89f2b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.92356%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] This hot sauce is made with red chili peppers. We didn’t think this was all that spicy, but the truffle taste makes us feel fancy AF. Pinkies up! Scoville Level: 2500 Swipe Up For More

5. Cholula

[{"selector":"#anim-db72f514-2adf-455d-811a-d9f1c3268887","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ae97672-317c-4a96-bd07-68f2dae00ada","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c6d453a-ffe6-4d87-8911-7c4a5b760f78","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0fc833d8-bff6-41ad-8a5d-298344aa61c2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Cholula is solidly middle of the road. It’s made from arbol and piquin peppers, smells like Taco Bell, and what we think of when we hear “hot sauce.” No one tell Tapatio. Scoville Level: 1000 Swipe Up For More
