« « Previous | Review: CaJohn’s Naga Soreass Hot Sauce » »
Okay 2008 is here and it is time for me to finish off those partial bottles. I assume that some of the other chiliheads out there have the same habit I do of saving just a little bit of a sauce because they want to try it on something in particular. Maybe there is just a tablespoon of sauce left in the bottle but your stuffed. Well at some point we just have to finish that bottle to make room for the next one.
I went through my fridge and here is what I found; Capt. Thom’s Dia De Los Muertos, El Yucateco Chipotle, Danny Cash Mean Streak, Red Bandit Red Bell Pepper Habanero, Blair’s Jalapeno Death Sauce, Mild to Wild Pepper & Herb Co. Red Savina Garlic Sauce, Beaver Extra Hot Horseradish, Danny Cash Naga Sabi Bomb, CaJohn’s Fiery Foods Co. Fatalii Fire, Branding Iron Foods Blazin Hot Sauce, Green Bandit Cilantro Habanero, CaJohn’s fiery Foods Co. Naga Saurus, McIlhenny Co. Tabasco Jalapeno Sauce, Three Hot Tamales Toxic Tonic, Louisiana Supreme Habanero Pepper Sauce, Hotzone.com Megasoreass, Three Hot Tamales Cry Baby, Scoville Units Foods Red Savina, Bisummo LLC Ass Murdering Hot Sauce, Primo Specialty Products LLC La Chingada, Huy Fong Foods Inc. Sriracha Chili Sauce, and Cajun Island Sweet Blackened Sauce. I think that makes 22 open bottles.
Now you’ll notice I didn’t include any of the fresh or canned salsas(I think there are currently 3), mustards(at least 5), fresh or canned peppers, any products that we produce including test recipes (9 or more).
So with so many more sauces to try I will endeavor to finish all of the above listed sauces this month. Actually my sons will help, now that they know they have the green light to eat them up. Bring on the corn chips and quesadillas!
So how many open bottles are in your fridge? Eat them up! Don’t worry all of those great hot sauce manufacturers will be happy to make more for ya!
I would love to hear what you guys have open! Or comments on whats open in my fridge. Or maybe I’m the only one with a whole shelf of open sauces…nah.

That would be grounds for divorce in my house (sad, I know).
Thanks for the reality check Sam, I feel much better now. I thought I was the only one who’s frig contained more hot sauce than food.
I’ll update when I get home….this is going to be fun!
Since getting married I’m went from 25+ open bottles to the “allowable” 11 only.
I’m only allowed to open a new one when I show the wife the empty bottle of the old one.
I had to count our open bottles after reading that….47!!! Definatly more hot sauce than food!!
ah, the carefree life of the bachelor! i’ve got about 50 opened, 15 of which, just like Sam, i just set out a few nights ago in the “finish quickly pile.” This is, of course, in anticipation of opening a few more. i have converted all 4 of my roommates into hot sauce enthusiasts, so i have all the confidence in the world that the dregs of those 15 bottles will be gone in no time.
I have two shelves on the door with sauces. One has the smaller 5 oz. woozy bottles and the other has the taller bottles for a GRAND TOTAL OF 29.
i hate to wast sauce by opineng so many more that i never eat some of them and they just sit there untill they go bad so my personal goal was to have no more than 5 bottles open at a time. currently i have 24

If we’re counting big bottles, I have two gallon jugs of THT on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Or can I count that as 50 five oz. bottles. 
IF we are counting bigger bottles I have 10 more that are 8 oz and 12 oz…..so I guess I have 57 open!!
i only have bout 12 
Ok, here’s the count:
Fridge:
shelves (not door) , top-21 bottom- 2 gal plus 2 bottles
doors, top shelf- 21 bottom- 19
Rack beside table – 26
On the table (rotating tray) – 24
Grand total = 113 plus two gallon jugs.

Winner
Actually, that count is 1 bottle shy of last night. I carried my last bit of THT Cranberry in to work this morning.
Hey, can I count the fridge at work? Separate count of course. It’s not like at home, but it’s loaded too.
Ok, at work now.
On the desk in the cubby behind my laptop withing arm’s reach is 8 bottles, counting the THT CUC.
Out in the fridge, 12.

Hey general, isn’t that your lucky number?
DK, still single, eh?
I have a lot of unopened bottles in my closet. I try not to overwhelm my fridge with all the hot sauce, so I just have about 20 or so, and once one goes away I am ready for another. I too have 1 gallon of THT and a few bottles of salsa and mustard.
Looks like I have about 50 or so opened up in the fridge right now.

If the alternative involves the word “allowed”, then you’re damned straight.
Looks like about 13 at home and 6 at work
I’m afraid to open my fridge, things stare back at me.

Ok, home now…I have a paltry 59 open bottles and 2 gallons!
I think this is a sickness!
Hello my name is Ed and I am a ChileHolic!
hey tony e mail me your address for that package im sending u
Damn Uncle Big! Can I come over and play? Sounds like hot sauce heaven. Maybe when I die I’ll go to Saskatchewan.
I have opened in the frig, 57 bottles, 8 mustards, 5 BBQ, 3 salsas, and a 1/2 gallon of wing sauce.
There are 113 bottles on deck.
Something to make me smile today!!! I wasn’t sure what kind of response this would get, and had asked Nick if it was a better topic for the Boiler Room. 3 of those bottles are now gone and somehow have been replaced already with 3 more. The Dia De Los Muertos was replaced by it’s clone though and is now about a tablespoon away from being dead once again. Tomorrow it’s back to work in the shipyard and about half the open bottles will go to the work fridge. The best way to make sh*tty food taste better is to add some good hot sauce.
AMEN!

Very nice Parker, that’s a decent number you’ve got going.
There’s no need to die in order to go to Heaven brother Parker, just hop a plane and make sure you bring your “eatin’ pants” and a set of ear muffs for your tender California lobes.
I’ll fire up the BBQ and we’ll get “sauced” till the cows come home. Sound good??

Damn, knocked from the top by a manufacturer and a retailer.
Couldn’t do a comprehensive inventory, but in my house I can count:
Upstairs ‘fridge- 11 bottles
Downstairs ‘fridge- 6 bottles
In my office:
Display shelves- 154 bottles
Display case- 23 bottles
Mail order stock- 312 bottles
In my basement:
5,246 bottles
116 Gallon jugs
For a *residential* total of: 5,868 bottles. It will go up a bit next week when I return from CaJohns
I used to have more in the ‘fridges but when I started crowding out the wifes’ beer, she put the k-bosh on me
I have a spare room, has about 50-60 various cases from what I can see, plus about 15 or so different open in the fridge. Don’t even ask, I’m not opening my Mac and Cheese hot sauce, lol.
Oh yeah…..1200 emptys waiting to be filled
Hey Sam, You kind of struck a nerve.

Looks like my top shelf. LOL!
Guess I’ll have to count ‘em all tonight when I get home, but I know I have at least twenty in one of the two shelves in the doors. then there’s the rack of open unrefrigerated sauces beside my table. I’ll take a guess now at 50-75 open sauces.
