We tried every kind of Frank’s Red Hot
When I see that little old lady in Frank’s Red Hot commercials who says, “I put that shit on everything,” it’s just like looking into the future.
I wholeheartedly believe that that shit can be put on everything. Stir-fry, salads, mixed into dipping sauces, pizza, on top of crackers, cereal, in cocktails, on steamed vegetables, on cheese slices, as chip dip, ice cream topper, when I say I put it on everything, I’m not playing around. My roommate and I go through Frank’s weekly.
Which is why we decided to branch out, and accept that Frank’s does in fact come in a variety of flavours.
FRANK’S® RED HOT® Chile and Lime
mmm, Limey
Initial reaction: You can’t add lime to Frank’s, that’s sabotage.
Upon further research: Alright so maybe the lime adds an interesting tang to the spiciness. We bought this one on a whim, on our very first step outside the Franks’ box of original.
Where it works: On everything. Especially tequila, tortillas, and tequila tortillas. Also on seafood, like shrimp or fish or other creatures from the sea.
Where it doesn’t: On birthday cake.
FRANK’S® RED HOT® Buffalo Wing Sauce
mmm, wingy
Initial reaction: this is gonna taste like buffalo wings.
Upon further research: It taste just like buffalo wings.
Veggie people will be able to put this on tofu or basically anything, and it tastes like you’re eating chicken wings. We got this as part of a recipe for buffalo chicken dip and loved it so much we doubled the amount the recipe called for, then got another bottle.
Where it works: This shit works on everything. Especially pasta, meat, lasagna, vegetables, legumes, and anything that is food. You have to like the smokey BBQ taste though.
Where it doesn’t: On apple pie. It would however, work on chicken pot pie.
FRANK’S® RED HOT® Sweet Heat
mm.. sweet, no wait, hot!
Initial reaction: This isn’t going to be spicy enough for me.
Upon further research: This isn’t spicy enough…oh..wait, wait…ok there’s the bite.
Despite it’s low ranking on the heat scale, this Frank’s might just be my favourite one yet. The flavour of this one tastes more like wings than the Buffalo Wing Frank’s. It really is sent from the hot sauce Gods.
Where it works: Everything. Even better with eggs, pizza, salads, sauces, or plain straight from the bottle.
Where it doesn’t: In the eyes.
UP NEXT:
FRANK’S® RED HOT® XTra Hot™
Initial reaction: I’m scared.
Is this really a competition you want to win?
“Ugh, I can’t believe she thought she was sicker than me. I am obviously the sick one.”
you threw up for 2 hours? Well I threw up for 9
…Is what I had to listen to on the 501 streetcar the other morning (my ipod was dead), and it isn’t the first time. I can understand that many people are competitive by nature, but it’s usually about achievements, contests, and personal goals, whatever. The part that makes me wonder about our sanity, is that natural human instinct to get competitive about anything and everything, even things we wouldn’t want at all.
Let’s take winter ailments for example. If one has a cough, the other has a cough and a sore throat, then wait, a third party jumps in with a cough, sore throat, and fever. Back to an update on patient #1, now both their legs are broken, on top of the cold. This just in, patient #2’s cough and dry throat are still lingering, legs broken, and oh my god, they’ve just burst into flames! Congrats to patient #2, taking the win with spontaneous combustion.
There can’t really be a desire to be more physically weak, or ill, than another person, can there? Technically wouldn’t this mean you’re in fact, the one losing? Then why do people still feel the need to outdo one another in these categories? I guess it’s not always about being the best or the healthiest, it seems to be just being more EXTREEMME, whether that’s a positive or a negative. It’s the need to “beat” somebody else at what they’re doing or even what their current ailment is.
So let’s calm down, shut the eff up, take our vitamins and always make sure the music device is fully charged before leaving the house.
