my flavor buds crave the excitement don't worry all we need is a little fire
here are 10 things you didn't know about frank's red hot because even if you carry a bottle with
you everywhere you go even frank's loyalists don't know everything about their beloved hot sauce
hot sauce is a precious commodity linda you can put it on anything it doesn't belong in the fridge
i don't belong here i don't belong anywhere refrigerate after opening these are the standard
instructions we see on all kinds of sauces creams and various supermarket products so
the reason so many of us put our bottle of frank's red hot in the fridge is most likely out of habit
however if we could give you a few words of advice stop putting it in the fridge you don't need
to one of the key ingredients in hot sauces is vinegar which actually acts as a preservative that
means that there's no reason for you to keep it chilled in the fridge don't do it please don't do
it in fact taking that idea one step further not only is there no reason to do it but it is also
actually detrimental to the product itself if you do putting your franks in the fridge could end up
dulling the flavor which is the exact opposite of what you want out of such a product we know there
are plenty of you who keep your franks on your kitchen table at all times because there is never
a meal that goes by without you pouring that stuff all over your plate but for those who use it a
little more sparingly just keep it on the counter or in the pantry and maintain that punch of yummy
heat for longer it's red hot the first buffalo wings had franks on them but wing sauce is great
the iconic and super delicious staple of every pub sports bar and food eating competition came
to be in 1964 in buffalo new york at the anchor bar today we're used to having a ridiculously big
amount of options when it comes to the coating on our wings from mild to spicy to sweet and
sour to honey mustard and garlic barbecue there are so many flavors that selecting your flavor
is sometimes the hardest part of any wing ordering process but back in 1964 that wasn't the case
when the og buffalo wings came out of the kitchen at the anchor bar there was only one
simple buffalo sauce one of a kind only two very simple ingredients covered those wings
melted butter and frank's red hot sauce we don't know if there was any blue cheese available to
dip those mighty wings in or if there were celery and carrot slices on the side all we know is that
these were probably some delicious wings since they were covered in frank's hot sauce after all
and for those curious minds and sticky hands out there wet wipes were invented in 1963
so even then they had you covered don't worry i got it all covered frank's hot sauce donut i do
weird things name another thing that you think is weird for all you donut lovers who literally do
put frank's hot sauce on everything you've probably created your own version of a frank's
donut at one point in your life but earlier this year dunkin donuts did the work for us or at least
the people in miami you see this hot story began in 2020 at super bowl 54 held in miami florida it
started as a social media stunt when someone from dunkin donuts challenged a frank's representative
to try one of their donuts with hot sauce on it the challenge was accepted and this led to frank's
tweet about how good it actually was and that dunkage should think about making them for real
and guess what they did the final product was an apple and raspberry jelly filled doughnut
with a frank's red hot glaze and just a day or two after the challenge duncan was handing out these
red hot donuts for free at two miami locations these jelly filled desserts were a one day only
extravaganza and there has been no indication that they will be brought back in the future
however if twitter's reaction is to be believed duncan would have quite
a few takers were they to offer up this creation again bring it back get it working
how hot is it first hot sauce now hot peppers this spiciness will consume your souls titans with a
name like frank's red hot sauce one would assume the stuff is going to be well red hot however as
anyone who has tried it knows it actually isn't fans of true heat and those who love to test their
spicy limits know that frank's isn't the sauce to do that with in fact frank's red hot original
clocks in at only 450 scoville heat units shu that might sound like a lot but it's actually
just in line with the pepperoncini or pimento pepper the good thing about the lower shu is
that it does allow for the more actual flavor to come through as opposed to just a hardcore
burning
but if you are looking for more kick you can still go with franks but try their extra hot
sauce if you thought tabasco was hot then the 2000 shu of frank's extra might just kick it up a notch
for you it might also be a fun prank to play on any red hot loving friends or family members
just switch the label on a bottle of extra and sit back and watch the smoke come out of their
ears but be a good friend and have a glass of milk at the ready for when they realize
what you've done also make sure to select a friend that's a slower runner than you
just in case they don't find it as funny as you do yes that's it let's put hot sauce in their
underwear who's the frank's red hot grandma who are you the question is who are you she's that
sweet old lady who puts that [ __ ] on everything it's a great ad campaign and using an old lady to
spout the catchphrase was a brilliant idea but who is that foul mouse granny it turns out that she
is a great grandmother hailing from the great white north frank's most famous white-haired
spokesperson is named jean hamilton and she was 86 years old when she was asked to audition for
the commercial managing to keep the gig into her 90s come on kid i'm not that old
while frank's campaign is how she is best known it sure isn't this amazing woman's biggest
accomplishment jean has had a pretty full and sometimes difficult life that has seen her survive
cancer three times marriage twice raise two kids and work at a number of different jobs ranging
from tax assessor to social worker we don't know if gene actually puts frank's red hot on
everything she eats or even on anything at all but we do know that as far as product spokespeople go
she is definitely a fan favorite they love me many celebrities put that [ __ ] on everything
it isn't just you who loves frank's red hot sauce the popularity of the stuff is kind of staggering
when you think about it not only have many regular people paid homage to their beloved red hot by
getting a likeness of the bottle tattooed on their body but there are also celebrities who
are obsessed with a delicious sauce if your friends make fun of you for carrying around a
bottle of franks wherever you go tell them that if they think you're weird then so is wendy williams
talk show host williams doesn't trust that there will always be a bottle around when she needs it
so she makes sure to always carry one in her purse i just carry it around
as she told one news outlet she carries her own frank's red hot sauce because there are a lot of
places where everything is good and when it comes to the sauces they pull out tabasco sauce that's
when she's like are you kidding me and that's when the bottle of frank's comes out of the purse
snl star leslie jones also loves the stuff so much she put it in one of her sketches
the sketch was a parody of the television show naked and afraid and in the sketch leslie makes a
bottle of frank's the one survival item that she is allowed to bring with her for the challenge
pretty smart aren't you there's a whole line of frank sauces
while the original frank sauce has been around for a hundred years and is still the company's
best seller the frank's red hot line of sauces has certainly expanded from that one og bottle
that put them on the map in 1920. of course we all know about the extra sauce the one slamming
your taste buds with 2 000 scope heat units but did you know they also make a frank's red hot
sriracha chili sauce a stinging honey garlic and a chili lime hot sauce to name a few and given their
place in buffalo wings history it only makes sense that they also sell bottles of buffalo wing sauce
and kick in barbecue wings too much so son and they have also recently added even more new
players to frank's team with a line of sick sauces perfect for brushing onto those ribs and meats
when you're cooking on the grill although variety is the spice of life and frank's is offering up
plenty of variety we do recommend that when it comes to carrying it around in your purse you
just go with one bottle you don't want multiple bottles bouncing around and breaking in your bag
we don't know if applecare covers red-hot mishaps warranty boy dead number two bought number one
number two number two well exact numbers vary depending on who you talk to and what measurements
are used most online resources listing the top hot sauce brands in north america use instacart
numbers as the basis for their rankings given the intestinal reactions some people have to hot sauce
there are plenty of number two jokes we could make here but we won't what we will say is that
while a number of rankings have franks coming in second the number one sauce on those lists
is often cholula like franks cholula is about a century old but unlike frank's original red hot
the original recipe comes in at 1 000 scoville heat units compared to 450 shu for franks
while all products want to be number one these days the people at franks are just as happy to
be in second place behind cholula because earlier this year they bought the company that's right
mccormick and co the company that bought frank's red hot a few years back recently laid down 800
million dollars to acquire cholula there is no talk of the company producing a combo bottle with
both sauces but we would just like to put it out there that it would be awesome if they did guys
i have a plan the four words society fears most it's basically a health food oh yep gotta have
that frank's hot sauce these days we are basically all trying to watch what we eat and make better
food choices in general and as it turns out putting frank's red hot sauce on everything could
actually be good for you you see capsaicin which is the stuff that makes hot peppers hot
has some very impressive health benefits it contains antioxidants as well as anti-inflammatory
and anti-cancer properties and just wait because that isn't the best part of all this either this
capsaicin is most effective when it is combined with fats don't you like food that's tasty and
delicious now we aren't scientists or medical professionals and we don't want to claim to be but
we watch grey's anatomy and can quote the big bang theory so we feel pretty confident when it comes
to science and stuff it does sound an awful lot like buffalo wings burgers steak fried chicken and
pretty much all of the other delicious fatty foods we all like would be considered a health food when
covered in franks a dream come true this just might be the best news we've ever heard they need
to bring back gene and have her try to pitch that in the commercials from now on that's the best
thing i've ever heard franks was born near tabasco he's gonna be one of those guys who's really into
hot sauce you know these days bottles of frank's red hot sauce are produced in springfield missouri
in the same place where they make french's mustard however the origin of the sauce is found further
south in the bayou in the 1910s adam estellette and jacob frank teamed up in new iberia louisiana
to produce the sauce new iberia is not far from avery island which as hot sauce connoisseurs may
know is the birthplace of tabasco sauce the first bottle of franks came about in 1920
and rumor has it that there is still one bottle left from that early run of product hot sauce
we don't know what it would be worth but we can imagine it being a pretty amazing
collector's item for any true frank's fan but it does beg one question if you could get your
hands on said bottle would you carefully put it on your shelf in a protective case
or open it up and dump out a bunch on your scrambled eggs as much as we would want to
save it for posterity we can't guarantee that our curiosity wouldn't get the best of us
even if our stomachs might end up regretting it later on while vinegar is a pretty good
preservative we aren't sure that it would keep something fresh for a hundred years
it stinks so don't smell it spice things up with another great video just tap or click
