LoL ok ok... I mean is it just me, or between manufactures does the taste change and which do you like the most...

The flavor absolutely changes between manufacturers, as they all have different formulas.

A number of years ago, just to see how Huy Fong Foods version stacked up, a friend of mine and I went on a quest to try as many sriracha sauces as possible, including some imported from Thailand, which is where the style originated.

We must have tried 30+ different brands between us. Including a few that we had shipped over from Hong Kong and Thailand, since they aren't available here (or at least we couldn't find them).

End result, now we know why Huy Fong Foods sriracha is so prevalent on the tables of restaurants across this country and why it's actually exported, in mass quantities, to Asia, Vietnam in particular.

You just can't fvck with perfection.

But he already did all the work for you. The best one is a Walmart drive away.

I will say this though: i do equally like tapatio (not sriracha, mind you, but when talking about hot sauces) as its a non-vinegar based hot sauce. Really different flavor.

While it's not the primary or predominate flavor component, such as with Tabasco (which is what I think you might be referring to), there is vinegar in there as acetic acid is the 4th or 5th ingredient in Tapatio. Acetic acid is the pure version of the sour/acidic component in vinegar. White vinegar, for example is typically around 5% acetic acid.
