Why are 1 in 4 Gen Z’s bringing their favorite hot sauce with them when they eat1? It’s because they aren’t getting the flavor they are looking for at restaurants or elsewhere.
Your personal guide to the demographics of those who ‘love’ or ‘like’ hot sauce.
In fact, 34% of consumers first look at what sauces and condiments are available at a dining venue in their decision process1. Texas Pete® is the South’s leading foodservice brand2 and number one in American portion control hot sauce2 so here are four simple solutions.
Everyone Has Their Own Ideas On Flavor
Swicy goodness from Sweet CHAbanero by Texas Pete® Sriracha Sauce.
That is why Texas Pete® offers five different flavors of hot sauce and four flavors of buffalo wing sauce, to match each student or faculty’s ideal level of heat and flavor. Globally-inspired Sweet CHAbanero by Texas Pete® Sriracha Sauce is one example. With the fastest-growing Latin flavor (habanero) in a sweet Asian flavor mash-up, it’s no wonder it’s available in 20 oz. plastic squeeze bottles for tables and ½ gal. jugs for easy back of house prep.
A Package Solution For Every Campus Environment
A guaranteed method for students to enjoy their “own” hot sauce is to provide or sell them Texas Pete® 2 oz. plastic mini bottles. With 11 flavors available, these are ideal for stashing in backpacks or purses.
As the leading portion control brand, Texas Pete® offers five flavors in a convenient and affordable 7 gram packet. From the medium level heat of Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce to Texas Pete® Hotter Hot Sauce (six times hotter than Texas Pete® Original) and global flavors, such as ¡SABOR! By Texas Pete® Mexican-Style Hot Sauce, there’s a flavor for everyone on campus.
It’s What They’re Looking For

Keeping It Simple Back-Of-House
