Where certain hot sauces rate on the Scoville Scale:

ex.

Tabasco Original Hot Sauce (2,500, 50% heat of jalapeno)

"Tabasco was first commercially produced in 1869, when McIlhenny sent 658 new cologne bottles filled with hot sauce to market."

The most popular hot sauce around. Extremely mild to chiliheads

Sriracha (2,200, 44% heat of jalapeno)

A Thai chile sauce named after the seaside city of Si Racha, in the Chonburi Province of central Thailand, where it was first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants. It is a paste typically made from sun-ripened chile peppers, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. This Americanized version, primarily produced by Huy Fong Foods, is somewhat different from the Thai pastes, and has become a common condiment stateside

Tabasco SWEET & Spicy Pepper Sauce (100-600, 12%)

The mildest of the Tabasco Brand sauces. If this stuff is hot for you, then you shouldn't even be wasting your time on this page.;-

Frank's Red Hot (450, 9%)

One of America's most popular chile pepper sauces, and was the first sauce used on buffalo wings back in 1964.
