Heat Levels & Flavor

How spicy are Weaksauce sauces? (Scoville Ratings)

Tangerine Nightmare: ~15,000-20,000 SHU (4/10 heat level)

Comparable to jalapeño heat but with citrus sweetness that balances the spice. Hot enough to enjoy, mild enough for daily use.

What does Weaksauce taste like?

Bright tangerine sweetness upfront, followed by habanero heat with subtle vinegar tang. Citrus-forward with balanced spice—not just heat for heat's sake.

Storage & Shelf Life

How should I store hot sauce for freshness?

Unopened: Store in cool, dark pantry for up to 2 years
Opened: Refrigerate for best quality; lasts 6-12 months
Tip: Shake before each use as natural separation may occur

Do hot sauces expire or need refrigeration?

Hot sauce doesn't "expire" in the traditional sense due to vinegar preservation, but quality degrades over time. Refrigeration after opening extends peak flavor and color.

What are signs that hot sauce has gone bad?

Discard if you see:

• Mold growth (fuzzy spots)
• Significant color change (darkening beyond normal oxidation)
• Off smell (rotten, putrid)
• Bulging or leaking cap
