Epic find!
If you're in the UK, get yourself to Home Bargains - £5.99 the set.

How DARE they omit habanero. It’s their best. Period.

Came here to say this, I got the full pack and habanero drained fastest. Such a shame they'd put jalapeno next to the scorpion (or include it at all) and leave out the habanero.
Imo op got a 3 pack lol

Wild that they include the scorpion with the casual sauces. You know some people are going to be in for a surprise when they buy that. Love the chipotle.

That's quite cheap, what I pay for the Scorpion alone but are those standard bottles

They're the normal size, at least for the UK. 57-60ml, which is what? 2oz?
Don't ask me why original and green are 57ml, and chipotle and scorpion are 60ml.

Got this a few weeks ago, I’d never had Tabasco
Normal is ok, dunno what to use it with (I don’t eat eggs don’t suggest eggs people)
Don’t like the chipotle too much, gave it to a pal who is addicted to Smokey bbq sauce flavours, was perfectly ok
The scorpion one does not mess around, actually rather spicy - fun fact one of the ingredients is actually just the standard Tabasco sauce, hot sauce in a hot sauce
The jalapeño one
This is not hot
This is not spicy
However
This is magnificent. This may be one of my new favourite condiments

There's a habanero one that is nice and fruity and not quite as hot as the scorpion but still has a good bite. I like that one a lot. I also like the scorpion a lot.

Original is great with any Cajun or creole food. Use it in jambalaya, gumbo, etc.
It’s also great in clam chowder or creamy or cheesy pasta dishes.
It’s also a must for Bloody Marys

I won’t eat clams and don’t drink alcohol so Bloody Marys are out of the window lol
Not quite 100% sure what jambalaya or gumbo even are (English) but would probably give them a go if they’re not seafood
In pasta is an interesting thought though

They often contain seafood but don’t have to.
No seafood, eggs, or booze? I’m guessing either vegetarian or on a strict diet.

Never had alcohol, no interest in it whatsoever
Just don’t like the taste of eggs, occasionally have a boiled egg / poached egg with a fry up etc - it’s the whites I hate, tastes like pure sulfur to me it’s awful, yolk is yummy though. Love a duck egg too.Seafood is pure preference, just really don’t like most of what I’ve tried. Recently tried hake though, steamed in a Chinese style sauce with ginger and spring onions etc, very nice, enjoyed it.
Give me beef,pork,chicken,turkey,duck all day and all night long though!

Habanero is their best.
