Risa -- If I am not mistaken, a number of large sauce manufacturers will put other people's labels on their sauce for a fee (ever seen the statement "Need a great giveaway for your next company outing?"). Thus, it is probably identical to Melinda's hot sauce. You could probably even go to the Melinda's web site and see if they offer such a service. Either way, Melinda's is a tasty sauce....

He ate at the restaurant, which he said was pretty good and he said he tasted the sauce and liked it so he bought me a bottle. When I took a look at it, the ingredient list sounded quite familiar...Carrots, Habanero Peppers, Onions, Lime Juice, Vinegar, Garlic and Salt. So, I picked out my bottle of Melinda's from my collection and looked at the ingredients and who made it...they were one and the same. When I read the cool writing on the bottle of Joe's hot sauce, it said "Joe's Hot Sauce was created to enhance a variety of food items. Joe believes its the absolute finest sauce around (at least that's what he tells his mother). Hey, you be the judge. Heck if it's too hot, the waters on Joe...Joe's Sauce is not available in any fine dining establishments and/or stores..." If it isn't available in any stores and/or fine restaurant establishments, how come the ingredients are the same as Melinda's Hot Sauce and it is made by Figueroa Brothers in Metairie, LA???? The label is really cool, so I think I'll keep it. Do you think that the amounts of each items is different and it will taste slightly different or it will taste exactly the same? My DH seems to think it might taste a bit different, I don't. Cool bottle anyway. Good to have him home and to have another cool bottle to try.
