- subsubzero 4y agoI remember when this story(the lie) was first circulating there was one thing that didn't really make sense to me, although the person who said they created it took inspiration from hispanic foods he grew up eating, flamin' hot cheetos has a cayenne flavor which to me reminds me of the US south and Tabasco sauce and nothing like anything anything from Mexico(besides that its spicy).

- ProfessorLayton 4y agoWait what? The Tabasco pepper literally originated from Mexico, and it's named after a state.
- lacker 4y agoThe Tabasco pepper is native to Mexico, but Tabasco sauce is not, it was created by some guy in Louisiana and is not really based on a Mexican sauce. eg https://www.tastingtable.com/930569/heres-how-tabasco-sauce-got-its-name/ https://www.tastingtable.com/930569/heres-how-tabasco-sauce-...
- ProfessorLayton 4y agoRight, but the pepper is the key ingredient in Tabasco sauce. It's like saying a soy-based sauce invented in the US is "nothing like anything anything from China" when soy sauce originated there.
