# Super Spicy Sipping Bottles The Gage and DeSoto Sriracha Water Bottle Mimics the Iconic Design By Vivian Lau | Published 2012-08-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gage-and-desoto-sriracha-water-bottle References: [selectism](http://www.selectism.com/2012/08/10/gage-desoto-sriracha-water-bottle/) & [gagedesoto](http://www.gagedesoto.com/collections/frontpage/products/water-bottle) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-sriracha) is native to Thailand and is produced by Hung Fong Foods Inc. It is notorious for its unmistakably [unique Asian flavour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giga-chilli-sauce) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colmans-squeezy-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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sriracha-inspired Products:** Opportunity to create a line of Sriracha-inspired merchandise beyond condiments, such as water bottles. - **Unique Packaging Design:** Opportunity to leverage iconic packaging design elements, like Chinese markings and rooster logo, in other industries. - **Spicy Flavors in Non-traditional Products:** Opportunity to infuse spicy flavors, like Sriracha, into unexpected products, such as water. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Innovation opportunities include creating new spicy condiments and incorporating spicy flavors into non-traditional food and beverage products. - **Merchandise:** Opportunity to develop a line of Sriracha-inspired products, including apparel, accessories, and home goods. - **Packaging:** Innovation opportunities in packaging design for various consumer products, incorporating elements like Chinese markings and bold logos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Take-Anywhere Hot Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-hot-sauce.md) - [Scannable Hot Sauce Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buldak-hot-sauce-packaging.md) - [Versatile Hot Sauce Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/franks-redhot-1.md) - [Sensorial Energy Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sriracha-energy-drink.md) - [Spicy Free-From Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsweetened-sriracha-hot-sauce.md) - [Gallon-Sized Hot Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabasco-gallons.md) - [Holiday-Themed Hot Sauce Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wing-sauce-dispenser.md) - [Hot Sauce Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-sauce-advent-calendar.md) - [Sweet-Heat Asian Cuisine Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-chabanero-sriracha-sauce.md)
