I happen to think that Tabasco is much hotter than Franks.  I'm a hab eater
at heart, and contrary to the many anti-tabascites out there, I think
Tabasco is a great everyday/everywhere sauce.  I'd ask for it over Franks at
any restaurant when you can't get anything else or when my stash of habanero
powder is empty... and for that matter I ask for it when there ARE other
things available.

I also agree that the aging process is the key with Tabasco.  We have a
bottle at the house that we treat like sourdough.. that is, we always save
some to put into the next batch.  I don't want to tell you how long we've
been doing this, because...well..it may just be too gross.

Anyway.. my vote is for Tabasco being hotter.
