Louisiana Hot Sauce http://www.okaytim.com/life/tapatio-v-louisiana-hot-sauce/ http://www.okaytim.com/life/tapatio-v-louisiana-hot-sauce/#comments Sun, 31 May 2009 16:54:35 +0000 Tim http://www.okaytim.com/?p=135 Today, I’m going to address hot sauce, and to two brands that I’ve encountered quite a bit lately:

Judging on 4 criteria:

  • Flow out of the bottle
  • Consistency
  • Flavor
  • Web site (just because)

Meet the Team

Tapatio

Louisiana Hot Sauce

Flow out of the bottle

Tapatio takes this one, it comes out much smoother than Louisiana Hot Sauce.

Consistency

Louisiana Hot Sauce wins for consistency. Unfortunately, for Tapatio, flowing out of the bottle well means it’s a little watery.

Flavor

They’re both very vinegary. If I have to take one, I’ll go with Tapatio. But they’re pretty much the same.

Web site

Tapatio gets this one by a very narrow margin, only because Louisiana Hot Sauce doesn’t have a dedicated site, it has a product page buried in a larger site. Development-wise Tapatio gets crushed for using flash. And we hate flash. In the battle between site & page… site will win every time.

Results

They’re almost exactly the same.

Maybe I’ll switch back to Cajun Sunshine, at least it’s a little different.
