Some say ketchup is the ultimate condiment, but the Gage and Desoto Sriracha water bottle suggests otherwise -- what other accompanying sauce has inspired its own souvenir line?
The tangy Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce is native to Thailand and is produced by Hung Fong Foods Inc. It is notorious for its unmistakably unique Asian flavour and strong chilli kick, but the taste is not all it is known for. An important part of the Srircha culture is the packaging; the sauce is housed in a clear bottle with Chinese markings and an iconic rooster logo, showing its angry-red contents and then topped by a bright green cap. The monstrous bottle will bring any seasoned chicken wing eater to their knees.
There is definitely a love-hate relationship with this fiery companion and those who are bold enough to proclaim it to the world will find this water bottle well.
