sure....these firms rape the shit out of companies and then sell it for scraps.

It was an ok hot sauce while it lasted.

And that’s my signal to stop buying tapatio, I guess… sigh

Boycott all private equity you can.

Being acquired by private equity firms is almost always a death blow to anything. So many games developers, businesses. Once they're milked for every penny, the husk is tossed aside.

Hasta la vista, basic b sauce

I love hot sauce, Tapatio and Cholula being my favorites. Both are now owned by private equity, so I thought I'd share this story.

I went to my local farmer's market and met a man that makes his own hot sauce, right here where I live. Not only did he have the most flavorful cayenne sauce I've ever had, but he also had a Scorpion pepper sauce with legitimate flavor as well.

All that to say, check out your local artisans. You may find something you love.

Meh, Cholula was my go-to anyway.

Time to find your Latino grocer and pick a random one off the shelf until one hits. This one is close to tapatio - but a little less sharp. From Mexico and used by the families near me.

The Saavedra family, which founded the brand in 1971, will retain a minority stake in Tapatio following the transaction.

This stuff has been in the larder since always but I think I will drop them

Damn, that was my go-to sauce that doesn't taste like vinegar.

Well that hot sauce will be water in a few months. Salsa Huichol is my 2nd choice. It's a 6oz bottle for around $1.50 at Winco.

Tapatio is one of the absolute worst. I’d rather go without if that were my only option, and then not return.

Fell to my knees in the bodega

Damn : /

Personally I prefer Cholula over Tapatio for my "generic flavorful hot sauce that isn't actually hot at all so I can slather it on everything" but Tapatio was pretty decent too.

NOOOOOOOO

DO NOT WANT

Goodbye Tapatio, we hardly knew ye.
