Gunman’s rage fueled by hot sauce
A Wendy’s restaurant manager almost lost his life to a disgruntled customer. The cause? Hot sauce.A Wendy’s night manager now knows just how seriously some people take their condiments.
Renel Frage, 20, got shot in a dispute over chili sauce.

Okay, seriously? I know lots of people have voiced their opinions on the Wendy’s Hot Chili Seasoning thread that I posted a few years back, but I still stand firm in my belief that this stuff is awful and should not be deemed a hot sauce. “Little gold packets of death” was spot on, judging from the above story – who would shoot anyone over some hot sauce (well maybe if a certain collectible was broken…)?

Maybe it just wasn’t hot enough?
Maybe he needed a fix
I love reading the old thread about how many people that love that stuff LOL Some folks just have problems they need to have taken care of
Mabe Wendy’s should keep a cup of Blair’s Sudden Death at the drive through, works much better than pepper spray.
Sooooo dumb!!!
Lee@DC, you are right dumb, It’s been a looooooooooong weekend

Hey Lee. Danny said your doing your own wendy’s sauce soon.
Hay lee. It’s going to be a collector’s, I should buy a big safe
No Wendy’s sauce in the works – but last time I was in Chicago at White Castle, I grabbed 30 packets of their hot sauce and squeezed them into a bottle and taped a slider box to it. For fast food sauce – its not that bad. Wendy’s sauce sucks though.
I came across this yesterday on a Miami Hurricanes Message Board and wondered if I’d see it on here.
Honestly, I’d never have known that they had any kind of hot sauce since I don’t frequent fast food joints (do sub shops count?), nevermind one for chili.

Speaking of sub shops. I love going into Firehouse Subs and seeing all those hot sauces! I usually end up telling people to try all the CaJohn sauces since I usually see several. I have seen some Blairs as well. Always a good time there
What the?????
Why can’t idiots like this shoot people who need to be shot ie.. a pediphile (sp) for instance? Poor Wendy’s guy.
Kristie, point taken
So get this – Pepperman just came back from Wendys. He asked for the sauce and they gave him a measly 4 packets for 4 sandwiches. The Labeling? It says Wendys HOT Chili Seasoning. Yep, that’s Chili with an I folks. Apparently, it not supposed to be a hot sauce, but a seasoning packet for the chili with beans. The taste? Bad. We looked at the backside of it for the ingredients, and this is the best part: Water, Corn Syrup, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Natural Flavors, Xanthum Gum, and Carmel Color. Hmmm, where are the chiles? Natural Flavors? Lame!
Alright, so I’m a little slow and didn’t realize everything was on the first review from Nick – but damn – that stuff still sucks.
And Them Some DC…..
hello?
Whats up John?

While your suggestion is a good one, shooting himself would be the best option IMO.
The only thing good about wendy’s is dipping the fries into the chocolate ice cream.

Not quite the story I was expecting. Thought maybe he got shot for *calling* it a hot sauce
