![]() It has more flecks and pieces of the ingredient list visibly suspended in the sauce. It is almost as thin as a Frank’s RedHot or Cholula, but not quite. However, it is thin (like the original Classic), so one must be careful not to over-do it. I was surprised to find that it wasn’t as punchy as the Last Dab Triple X.
