Hot Sauce Gifts FAQs

What’s the Hottest Sauce You Can Buy?

Based on our research, the hottest hot sauce you can buy is a bottle of Mad Dog 357 Plutonium No. 9. It measures 9 million units on the Scoville Scale, while a ghost pepper comes in around 1 million units.

According to this scale, Mad Dog 357 Plutonium No. 9 ranks higher than pepper spray. We don’t know if we’re quite brave enough to try that, but we’ll gladly watch you go for it and prepare a giant cup of ice-cold milk for after.

What Goes Good With a Hot Sauce As a Gift?

There are many awesome items you can pair with hot sauce as a gift, from novelty goods that show off their love of hot sauce to foods that pair well with their new saucy condiments.

Some cool novelty gifts could be this hilarious hot sauce holster, some silly hot sauce socks, a cool t-shirt that shows off their love, a DIY hot sauce making kit, or even this Tabasco keychain.

If you’re looking for foods to pair with, some great places to start could be tortilla chips, an assortment of cheeses, nuts, the fixings for a taco night, chicken nuggets, and french fries.

Do You Need to Package a Hot Sauce Gift?

Presentation is the cherry on top of a lovely gift, so we always suggest that you wrap your presents before giving them to the recipient. If you’re giving someone hot sauce as a present, you can even get creative with the packaging! For example, you arrange layers of red, orange, and yellow tissue paper in the gift bag to look like flames and reflect the fiery nature of your gift.
