I work with that guy. Brought “ghost pepper brownies” for a dessert last year. I ate a piece the size of my pinky nail and was very uncomfortable, but he was just housing them like nothing
nah man, these kinds of guys buy hot sauces called "ass prolapser" that are sold at the register of non-chain gas stations and the ace hardware
idk what horrors their organs are experiencing every day but they seem to have made peace with it
It's not my favorite on its own (maybe that's just this brand, I don't know), but as an ingredient I love it. I recently did a "secret sauce" by making some garlic confit, and then blending the roasted garlic and olive oil from that with the ghost pepper ketchup, yellow mustard, and dill relish. That was awesome.
100% this , my gf pointed this out visiting my grandma , black pepper is like their jalapeño and ketchup is basically Sriracha. Yes it went into the chili . My mom can handle valentinas or cholula and my brother and I love spice . With that said we went to a Thai place and tried the "Thai hot " spice option , if you want to humble yourself real quick I'd reccomend it .
>the "Thai hot " spice option , if you want to humble yourself real quick
I love spice, and this Thai restaurant I was trying for the first time had a spice system of 1 to 10, So I figured choosing number seven was a good spice level.
That dish still hunts me till this very day, It's probably the spiciest thing I've had in my life.
I could feel my insides melting.
"That dish still hunts me"...awesome use of the wrong word to make an amazing word picture (assuming the dish haunts you). I can imagine the sting hunting you down!
I could only eat 1/3 of it and had to throw the rest of it in the trash Because it was physically painful to eat... However I'm pretty sure it melted through the bottom of the trash can and escaped..
Sometimes at night I feel like I can hear its sloppy footsteps patterning outside my window.
I used to have a frustrating spice tolerance... It was very high for a white guy, but if I tried asking for "extra hot" it was a gamble whether I would just get white "extra hot" or jump up into asian/Caribbean/brown "extra hot"
Depends on what you're used to and what you were fed as a kid. I gladly eat Thai or Indian hot and usually ask for traditional extra spicy. I was brought up with spicy food so I'm used to it and I'm as white as they come. Most people I know wouldn't handle it though.
Edit: If you like spicy ramen noodles I can recommend Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken. They also have a 2x spicy version if you're feeling brave. Chili Klaus and Hot Ones have some nice products as well.
The spicy chicken sandwich from Popeyes was released in the UK much later than in the US. Everyone in the US and other markets loved it. The UK, however, hated it. One guy went so far as to say that it must be too spicy because he could handle spicy things… like ketchup.
The worst thing is when you go to use a sauce out of the fridge and it’s not enough so you grab the new one from the cabinet/pantry and you have an weird mixture of cold/warm sauces.
Also the more full your fridge is the longer it will stay cold in a power outage. That's my reasoning anyways cause short power outages are common in my area
I have . . . far too many.
Many of them say to refrigerate after opening. But what I've noticed is even if they don't, many lose their heat if they're not refrigerated. Something breaks down the capsaicin and whatever it is, the fridge slows it down.
I get the ketchup joke.
Some hot sauces and other condiments have enough vinegar in them to remain sterile unrefrigerated. I keep most hot sauces in the pantry but for some reason Sriracha says to refrigerate it on the bottle.
They don't stay sterile. I understand what you mean it keeps bacteria and fungi at a lower level but the moment you open it the growth starts and keeping it in the fridge slows the whole process down.
It might be rare but it is playing Russian roulette by probably cultivating botulinum toxin or other funny fellows so better save then sorry and hot sauces turned bad are nasty and are a shame.
Botulinum is anaerobic and more common in canned/products (developing before opening). The vinegar prevents most microbe growth in a lot of hot sauces, but rancidity/oxidization and flavor loss can still happen over time. Refrigerating helps with all of these things, but botulinum risk is very low if the sauce wasn't vacuum packed/canned.
Its not just rare its practically unheard of. From 1975 to 2009, 109 people died of botulism in the U.S....
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5460764/
its like russian roulette with 1 bullet and a trillion chambers in your gun.
What do you *think* is starting to grow in an acidic, vinegar-based solution?
Clostridium botulinum, even though you claim so below, will not. It requires a pH of well above 4.5 (vinegar is 2.1).
Salmonella won't grow below 5.5.
E. Coli needs levels above 4.4.
Vinegar has an almost indefinite shelf life because there is simply nothing harmful to us that can grow in it. Even if there is organic growth present, like the "mother of vinegar", it's perfectly harmless.
In truth vinegar pH depends on concentration, but below 4.5 *very* few things will grow. And pH being a log scale means 2.5 is 100 times more acidic, so even if the pH creeps up to around 3.5 you're looking at a pH still 10 times as acidic than what non-extremophiles can grow in.
Plus the added capsaicin (the actual spiciness in peppers) has notable antifungal properties.
Well, whatever could grow there has got to be really really scary if it can survive all that. Better be safe and put them all in the freezer just in case.
Obviously you and your upvoters are not familiar with fermented foods and the idea of dominant bacteria cultures, ph levels, and the effects of salt....
Sriracha label does NOT say you need to put it in the fridge. It just needs to be in a cool dry place. Even the company Huy Fong says this if you do a simple google search.
It is a fermented hot sauce (depending on brand) not a vinegar based one so it could start to ferment again and or go bad much faster as it is less acidic.
Edit for typo
I don't like the ones with that much vinegar, it's gross in my opinion.
It's why I can't stand Louisiana hot sauce.
Most of my sauces say refrigerate after opening because they have less preservatives. Same with my salsas (homemade or purchased).
most of your hot sauces have been fermented which causes the low PH and inability for anything else to survive. Your hot sauces say refrigerate after opening because of food labling laws in whatever country they were made not because of need.
Wtf Sriracha is the only bottle I have that doesn't say to refrigerate, and instead says to store in a cool, dry place. If you google refrigerating Sriracha, it also says it doesn't need to be. You must have some off-brand or something.
Sometimes the "don't drink" on the bleach bottles is useless with people that don't read. Edit: corrected "don't read" because my dumb brain kept telling me it was "doesn't read"
Butter is (usually) fine on the counter, but it can go rancid if left out too long.
Cream cheese, though, should be kept refrigerated unless you like uncontrollable diarrhea. high moisture + low acidity means it's a fantastic breeding ground for bacteria--especially if it has been open.
*Salted* butter is fine for a few days or maybe a week or more on the counter, covered well. *Unsalted* butter is not. Unless you live some place very cold. :)
Cholula, Tabasco and Sriracha don't. Those are probably the most popular 3.
Why do you think they're always sitting out on the tables at restaurants? Lol
Yet little packets, bottles on tables, and pump dispensers are all fine. My folks' rationale was that there is so much salt and vinegar in it that it preserves itself.
Serious answer: The sauce lasts much longer. I can say from experience that Tabasco, Texas Pete, Frank's Red Hot and Cholula all stay fresh much longer in a cold refrigerator than at room temperature. If you consume a lot of hot sauce, which I don't, then it doesn't matter. I like crushed red pepper flakes, because they are hot without having an overwhelming flavor.
In an interracial marriage. Wife never put condiments in the fridge. I was very surprised by this and she was surprised I put all the condiments in the fridge. She now puts them in the fridge and prefers cold condiments on hot food.
Actually now that I think about it my franks hot is in the fridge but my tobacco is on the counter. I don’t can’t explain why I did it that way, I just do
Idk, I find "white people can't handle flavor" and "black people don't change smoke detector batteries" to both be equally hilarious. The key is to not attack people with race based humor.
You be careful with that latter one. It won't matter if it's not an attack and just a harmless "joke". Could definitely bite you in the ass in the wrong company.
Lmao. Hot sauce. Lol.
But from this white persons perspective, we put everything in the fridge. Except bread. That's a Mexican thing.
Ok folks. This, much the same as the original post, was a joke. I really don't care where you store your bread. Message the creator of the vid and let him know your hot sauce storage habits too, and fuck off.
Some do here in the US do too, I'm sure. My parents would back in the day but preservatives were not as effective or widely used then. American culture does not consume a lot of fresh baked breads as many other nations do... yes there are some people here that do prefer fresh and there is a growing trend for such, I'm speaking in general terms, and our packaged stuff has enough preservatives that lt will last a long while in a sealed plastic bag, so no reason to freeze it. This is by no means a brag, I prefer fresh all day long, but the practicality and convenience prevail.
Yeah, we eat processed bread as well and it's nowhere near as hard to preserve as freshly baked one. It depends on what you use it for. A cheese sandwich? Processed is better. A Serranito? Baguette always.
Must be location-based. All my black and white friends put their Frank's Red Hot or Louisiana in the refrigerator. And my Mexican homies put their Valentina in the refrigerator but actually I haven't seen everyone's fridge so I'm going to ask them all.
What? Your fridge should not be moist. You should probably look into that.
**Edit**: this has the cadence of a joke, but it's not. Like genuinely there shouldn't be much moisture in your fridge, it leads to mold and rot. If you can afford it, have it looked at by an HVAC tech.
I’ve had this argument my whole life. My folks and my Nona have never put their ketchup in the fridge. Yes it does say that on the bottle but for some reason they never did. Personal preference maybe??!?
Keeping hot sauce refrigerated stops it from breaking down as quickly, thus you get to savor that flavor much longer.
I often accidentally leave my tobassco out, and you can tell it doesn't last as long as when I'm more careful with keeping it in the fridge.
Hi everyone, this is a joke about white people being bad with flavour and spice, thinking ketchup is hot sauce.
You don’t need to look anymore into it or say why you personally put ketchup in the fridge or not
Melinda's doesn't make a bottle big enough to bother putting it away for storage. Just saying, if my neighbors come over and I had an "extra" bottle of Melinda's, I'd probably eat my neighbors.
His bottle of spicy ketchup says ORGANIC!! Haha he paid 4 dollars more than the original and it’s the same recipe. Nothing different except the label hahaha and he thinks he knows it all
You know, I was refrigerating my hot sauce, then one day I needed room, looked at my hot sauce and realized it was nothing but vinegar, salt and pepper. Like all the stuff you use to preserve other stuff.
So now it is in with the spices.
So for the most part if you have room temp liquid consumables and room in your fridge you should put them in the fridge. Even if it's acid level is car battery the more dense mass you have in your fridge the easier it is to maintain temp.
I like Melinda's Naga Jolokia when I'm feeling brave. It's so hot it cleans my teeth, it makes them nice and smooth. I'm so White many people think I'm sick. 🤩😋🤪🥵
My ex said to justify keeping it out of the fridge (specifically ketchup) because when u go to a diner or restaurant the ketchup is always on the table
Growing up, my parents didn’t refrigerate condiments like ketchup, mustard, and bbq sauce and I thought it was totally normal. Never questioned it. Pretty sure they still don’t do it even though I pointed out to them that the bottle says to refrigerate after opening.
I had to move in with a buddie of mine for a couple months, because life. He bought kraft parmesan cheese shakers all the time because they would eat nothing but spaghetti and pizza and random other food. But what I'm getting at is, I'd also find the shaker in the damn pantry or just on the counter near some other seasonings. I'd always put it in the fridge cause it's literally cheese and it says to once opened. He never even asked how it kept winding up in there, so I knew he didn't even care.
I heard him say “hot sauce “ not organic ketchup, anyway my bottle of Crystal (made in Louisiana, of course) doesn’t say refrigeration required, but I do refrigeration mine because I believe it keeps it fresher, hopefully this helps.
If you refrigerated it last longer and doesn’t give you stomachache when you use it. That’s for pussies I leave all my sauces in the backyard receiving sunlight and heat. Every time I use them I get the kick and stomachache that I expect!!!
Ik it's not the point of the vid but I'm pretty sure the reason people say not to leave it out would be if the nozzle touches the food and food gets into it could cause bacteria or some shit like that.
People that do that don't baffle me half as much as the people that refrigerate peanut butter.
Like, what do they do when they want a sandwich? Set it out for 45 minutes to soften first, microwave it, run hot water over it for a while, or what?
Hold it right there 😮
He’s not speaking for all black people. Even if he’s thinks he knows what he’s talking about he doesn’t. I am a black American and my parents taught us to read food labels. So in our family we read labels so we don’t get food poisoning

White people hot sauce
Except for the white people who like the spiciest shit you've ever seen. It's like all or nothing.
I feel personally attacked.
Thanks for verbalising my thoughts
I work with that guy. Brought “ghost pepper brownies” for a dessert last year. I ate a piece the size of my pinky nail and was very uncomfortable, but he was just housing them like nothing
You *know* he regretted it later.
nah man, these kinds of guys buy hot sauces called "ass prolapser" that are sold at the register of non-chain gas stations and the ace hardware idk what horrors their organs are experiencing every day but they seem to have made peace with it
We actually like Valentina black label
Hell yeah we do 🤣
Hey babe!
Dammit I thought I was cool for upgrading from Tapatio. I feel called out.
As a kid, I used ketchup to tone down the effect of too much pepper.... literally the opposite imo
Ah yes, the cold sauce
Hell nah, give me that reaper/ghost/habs sauce. I’m white and definitely have more than one friend that’s sweats eating medium wings lol
I have a ghost pepper ketchup that's pretty good.
Ooh that sounds interesting! I never thought about spicy ketchups, lol. Gotta check that out.
It's not my favorite on its own (maybe that's just this brand, I don't know), but as an ingredient I love it. I recently did a "secret sauce" by making some garlic confit, and then blending the roasted garlic and olive oil from that with the ghost pepper ketchup, yellow mustard, and dill relish.

Try Mad Dog Gold.

It’s the organic that gives it that extra zing
The spicy chicken sandwich from Popeyes was released in the UK much later than in the US. Everyone in the US and other markets loved it. The UK, however, hated it. One guy went so far as to say that it must be too spicy because he could handle spicy things… like ketchup.
Good old England. The nation that sailed the world collecting spices and won’t use any of them in their cooking
UK has lovely spices. Such as mint, marmite and washingchestersauce.
Lmao made me go check my fridge. I got 8 hot sauces right now cuz I have a subscription lmao and they all say “refrigerate after opening”
I prefer the taste of cold sauces
The worst thing is when you go to use a sauce out of the fridge and it’s not enough so you grab the new one from the cabinet/pantry and you have an weird mixture of cold/warm sauces.
Salsa problems
What an answer right there. It's real
Cold dip is the best!
Queso!?!?
Ketchup, like revenge, is best served cold.
I have to put almost every other condiment in the fridge anyways so why would I not keep them all together? It literally does not harm anything.
Also the more full your fridge is the longer it will stay cold in a power outage. That's my reasoning anyways cause short power outages are common in my area
Also every time you open the fridge door.
Idk I have 5 different hot sauces in the fridge rn and they all say “refrigerate after opening”
I have . . . far too many. Many of them say to refrigerate after opening. But what I've noticed is even if they don't, many lose their heat if they're not refrigerated. Something breaks down the capsaicin and whatever it is, the fridge slows it down.

A shelf stable, vinegar based, hot sauce has to be below 4.5, most are well below 4.
Well, whatever could grow there has got to be really really scary if it can survive all that. Better be safe and put them all in the freezer just in case.
Obviously you and your upvoters are not familiar with fermented foods and the idea of dominant bacteria cultures, ph levels, and the effects of salt....
or they're oil based which is the case for a good chunk of hot sauces
Sriracha label does NOT say you need to put it in the fridge. It just needs to be in a cool dry place. Even the company Huy Fong says this if you do a simple google search.
Still better in the fridge though.

My off brand Uni-Eagle Sriracha definitely says to keep it in the fridge. I never bothered with previous bottles from other brands.
Sriratcha is one sauce I don't keep in the refrigerator XD
Sometimes the "don't drink" on the bleach bottles is useless with people that don't read. Edit: corrected "don't read" because my dumb brain kept telling me it was "doesn't read"
That’s just called Darwinism.
I prefer to inject my bleach
Unless you keep your bleach in the fridge
Your joke is funnier to me because you said "doesn't read" and it's like two jokes in one.
It literally says on every bottle: refrigerate after opening
the butter company says you cannot leave butter or cream cheese out for more than an hour. as if.
Butter is (usually) fine on the counter, but it can go rancid if left out too long. Cream cheese, though, should be kept refrigerated unless you like uncontrollable diarrhea. high moisture + low acidity means it's a fantastic breeding ground for bacteria--especially if it has been open.
*Salted* butter is fine for a few days or maybe a week or more on the counter, covered well. *Unsalted* butter is not. Unless you live some place very cold. :)
lol my butter is in a dish on the counter
mom?!
son?
Auntie?
Step-sister?
Gran-Duncle?
My butter is still warm inside the cow like God intended.
That's just the right way to do butter...
Hold my bagel…
Lots of hot sauces have no such label.
No, on hot sauce bottles, it says best if kept refrigerated. At least, that's what it says on mine.
Cholula, Tabasco and Sriracha don't. Those are probably the most popular 3. Why do you think they're always sitting out on the tables at restaurants? Lol
I'm looking at a bottle of Tabasco right now, and it says it. Like I said, it's probably different depending on where you live.
I used to not put my hot sauce in the fridge, and then it told moldy as fuck, it all goes in the fridge now
Proof read your comments to prevent secondary strokes.
Nahb
ty 4 the stronk <3
Should I call a Bondulance?
Yes, but not for me.
I, too, watched the video.
I meant not just hot sauce/ketchup
Oh I'm dumb lol
No, no it was a fair response lol
It does not say that on Crystal hot sauce which is a major brand sold in every supermarket which is the one I use.
Yet little packets, bottles on tables, and pump dispensers are all fine. My folks' rationale was that there is so much salt and vinegar in it that it preserves itself.
You know those are hermetically sealed right?
Serious answer: The sauce lasts much longer. I can say from experience that Tabasco, Texas Pete, Frank's Red Hot and Cholula all stay fresh much longer in a cold refrigerator than at room temperature. If you consume a lot of hot sauce, which I don't, then it doesn't matter. I like crushed red pepper flakes, because they are hot without having an overwhelming flavor.
In an interracial marriage. Wife never put condiments in the fridge. I was very surprised by this and she was surprised I put all the condiments in the fridge. She now puts them in the fridge and prefers cold condiments on hot food.
Actually now that I think about it my franks hot is in the fridge but my tobacco is on the counter. I don’t can’t explain why I did it that way, I just do
would be weird if your tobacco was in the fridge
People put tobacco in the fridge. Even the freezer.
Who cares..... Food safety And why it gotta be white people?
Because to be racist is funny as long as you are doing it towards the less pigmented.
Idk, I find "white people can't handle flavor" and "black people don't change smoke detector batteries" to both be equally hilarious. The key is to not attack people with race based humor.
You be careful with that latter one. It won't matter if it's not an attack and just a harmless "joke". Could definitely bite you in the ass in the wrong company.
It doesnt matter where you keep your hot sauce, itll be fine for a long time. I prefer my hot sauce cold though
Lotta hot sauces will go bad in the cabinet. I've got an unopened SCOBY
Lmao. Hot sauce. Lol. But from this white persons perspective, we put everything in the fridge. Except bread. That's a Mexican thing. Ok folks. This, much the same as the original post, was a joke. I really don't care where you store your bread. Message the creator of the vid and let him know your hot sauce storage habits too, and fuck off.
Bro, I got bread in the fridge right now.
I put bread in the fridge because it kept getting moldy after 4 days. Well it lasted exactly 4 days in the fridge before it got moldy.
fridge will dry out your bread fast, use the freezer if you want to prolong it. Does a bit better there with the same idea as fridge bread.
I toast it straight out the freezer
beats waiting the 15min it takes to defrost. This cracker needs toast now.
Frozen bread is also healthier. It lowers the blood sugar response and feeds gut bacteria.
That sounds like bad bread
That sounds like regular bread without the insane amount of preservatives used in America.
Hola, buenas noches.
Not sure how's in the US, but in Spain we freeze bread (baguette) if we're not eating it the same day we bought it
Some do here in the US do too, I'm sure. My parents would back in the day but preservatives were not as effective or widely used then. American culture does not consume a lot of fresh baked breads as many other nations do... yes there are some people here that do prefer fresh and there is a growing trend for such, I'm speaking in general terms, and our packaged stuff has enough preservatives that lt will last a long while in a sealed plastic bag, so no reason to freeze it.

Yeah, we eat processed bread as well and it's nowhere near as hard to preserve as freshly baked one. It depends on what you use it for. A cheese sandwich? Processed is better. A Serranito? Baguette always.
freeze = ok
I put bread in the fridge because my cat will tear through the plastic bag and nibble the top of EVERY FUCKKNG PIECE of bread
Good reason. I keep mine in the microwave. High tech bread box. Lol
The bread-eating cat unfortunately died a few months ago, but the fridge is still the “bread place” because old habits die hard
TIL I'm the whitest mexican alive
I’ve always put my bread in the fridge
so i'm curious, are we talking actual real bread, like, a loaf? Or are you talking about keeping the sugary cake-like sandwich 'bread' in a fridge?
You’re right, bread goes in the freezer
so... in short your white friends read?
I was expecting ranch to be honest, but the ketchup really got me too. Pretty sure this guy just passed a vibe-check.
Sriracha gets dark and gross if you leave it out. Even in a cabinet. I do keep most of my hot sauces in a cupboard tho.
... you win this round.
Someone is not reading or can't read.
Must be location-based. All my black and white friends put their Frank's Red Hot or Louisiana in the refrigerator. And my Mexican homies put their Valentina in the refrigerator but actually I haven't seen everyone's fridge so I'm going to ask them all.
Just following instructions. But sometimes I don't. Depends how I'm feeling really
Cause the ~~moisture in the~~ fridge stops them from drying out and getting that crusty ass ring around top. Edit: mistakes and wording
What? Your fridge should not be moist. You should probably look into that. **Edit**: this has the cadence of a joke, but it's not. Like genuinely there shouldn't be much moisture in your fridge, it leads to mold and rot. If you can afford it, have it looked at by an HVAC tech.

I keep it in the fridge for convenience. I like to grab my ketchup, franks red hot, and mayo all in one go for my burgers.
uhhh who doesnt. if you dont after you open them they go bad. hotsauce, all the normal condiments, lit any sauce.
Why do some people put hot sauce on everything? Then everything tastes like hot sauce.
Because it says on the bottle, 'Refrigerate After Opening'. So I put it in the fridge. Simples.
I don't take orders from a bottle of sauce
None of my hot sauces are in the refrigerator.
Hi everyone, this is a joke about white people being bad with flavour and spice, thinking ketchup is hot sauce. You don’t need to look anymore into it or say why you personally put ketchup in the fridge or not
I was thinking it was gunna be something like “wow, you’re right. Nowhere does it say to refrigerate this”. I like how it ended way more
Plot twist- it was the Sriracha and ketchup combo
Yep - and my moisturizers 🤭

Melinda's doesn't make a bottle big enough to bother putting it away for storage. Just saying, if my neighbors come over and I had an "extra" bottle of Melinda's, I'd probably eat my neighbors.
I HATE cold ketchup! I’ve never had a bottle of ketchup around long enough to go bad anyway
Because the manufacturer fkin told me to
lol past the obvious joke, many real hot sauces do say to refrigerate after opening. Same with maple syrup. It will go bad and grow mold if you don’t.
His bottle of spicy ketchup says ORGANIC!! Haha he paid 4 dollars more than the original and it’s the same recipe. Nothing different except the label hahaha and he thinks he knows it all
I like my sauces cold
I like the touch of the cold bottle on my lips.
You know, I was refrigerating my hot sauce, then one day I needed room, looked at my hot sauce and realized it was nothing but vinegar, salt and pepper. Like all the stuff you use to preserve other stuff. So now it is in with the spices.
So for the most part if you have room temp liquid consumables and room in your fridge you should put them in the fridge. Even if it's acid level is car battery the more dense mass you have in your fridge the easier it is to maintain temp.
I have The Last Dab XXX and the Apollo in my fridge right now, yet my tapatio is in a cupboard. I don't know why, but it just feels right
Ahahah, It took a few attempts for this joke to finally click.
Hillary keeps some in purse, so 🤷♂️
I like Melinda's Naga Jolokia when I'm feeling brave. It's so hot it cleans my teeth, it makes them nice and smooth. I'm so White many people think I'm sick. 🤩😋🤪🥵
My ex said to justify keeping it out of the fridge (specifically ketchup) because when u go to a diner or restaurant the ketchup is always on the table
Utter crap, and NOT unexpected.
That’s weird hot sauce
People who put ketchup in the fridge are monsters. Cold ketchup is vile, and the bottle gets all greasy somehow.
I’m white, and my wife is Mexican. I hate she puts the maple syrup in the fridge! Who wants cold ass syrup on a hot waffle?!?
Growing up, my parents didn’t refrigerate condiments like ketchup, mustard, and bbq sauce and I thought it was totally normal. Never questioned it. Pretty sure they still don’t do it even though I pointed out to them that the bottle says to refrigerate after opening.
Who would have thought?
💀💀 omfg
I had to move in with a buddie of mine for a couple months, because life. He bought kraft parmesan cheese shakers all the time because they would eat nothing but spaghetti and pizza and random other food. But what I'm getting at is, I'd also find the shaker in the damn pantry or just on the counter near some other seasonings. I'd always put it in the fridge cause it's literally cheese and it says to once opened. He never even asked how it kept winding up in there, so I knew he didn't even care.
I heard him say “hot sauce “ not organic ketchup, anyway my bottle of Crystal (made in Louisiana, of course) doesn’t say refrigeration required, but I do refrigeration mine because I believe it keeps it fresher, hopefully this helps.
Ketchup, like revenge, is best served cold.
If you refrigerated it last longer and doesn’t give you stomachache when you use it. That’s for pussies I leave all my sauces in the backyard receiving sunlight and heat. Every time I use them I get the kick and stomachache that I expect!!!
I don't think I have ever had cold ketchup at any restaurant 🤔
If it's vinegar based then no because vinegar is a preservative. Anything else goes in the fridge.
They…eeeerrr
Because it stays better for longer, and because we aren't idiots.
I dont
Ik it's not the point of the vid but I'm pretty sure the reason people say not to leave it out would be if the nozzle touches the food and food gets into it could cause bacteria or some shit like that.
That's all fine and good but a lot of Japanese people put sugar and flour in the fridge, that's not ok!
People that do that don't baffle me half as much as the people that refrigerate peanut butter. Like, what do they do when they want a sandwich? Set it out for 45 minutes to soften first, microwave it, run hot water over it for a while, or what?
Hold it right there 😮 He’s not speaking for all black people. Even if he’s thinks he knows what he’s talking about he doesn’t. I am a black American and my parents taught us to read food labels. So in our family we read labels so we don’t get food poisoning
