Man Shot Over Wendy’s Chili Hot Sauce

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…)?

    Mabe Wendy’s should keep a cup of Blair’s Sudden Death at the drive through, works much better than pepper spray.

    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 ๐Ÿ™‚

    Why can’t idiots like this shoot people who need to be shot ie.. a pediphile (sp) for instance? Poor Wendy’s guy.

    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.

    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. ๐Ÿ˜€
