Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

My friends told me they changed the recipe, so that might be why

Same recipe, different suppliers because they tried to screw over their biggest pepper supplier (Underwood Farms) who now make their own brand of Sriracha. In 2022, it was hard to find the Huy Fong brand and they said it was due to draught in Mexico, but they would have had plenty of they weren't trying to cut out their original supplier who has now gone their own way.

I believe it. I get a Sriracha like red pepper sauce at Korean market and it is significantly hotter. I would not be surprised if Sriracha may have reduced its spice level for a wider audience.

I always did think it was a bit tame, like a slightly spicy catsup, so that makes sense... Would like to try the full heat version now

Supplier change, but that isn't it. By 2013 Sriracha wasn't hot enough for us anymore. We used it like ketchup at that point. I think it was 2002 when we got that first bottle.
