That ain’t hot sauce. Way to mild. My wife canned some with Reapers and it ate through the jar lids. Now that is HOT

Some how I can not consider burning the lining of my mouth to be part of the joy of eating. I use the green (Jalapeno) Tabasco Sauce and banana peppers, the less hot yellow ones because they add flavor as well as a little heat. Spicy is fine (for me); hot is not.

But if you enjoy it hot, feel free!

My grandma’s hometown, about 5 years before the 33 cent tacos sold big burgers for 19 cents. Dang they were good. Just a plain burger and bun. That would be around 1972.

A singing commercial from maybe the 60s:

"For fifteen cents, a nickel and a dime
at Burger Chef you'll eat better every time."

Nice. I used to hit the McDonald’s near the store where I took guitar lessons.

Burger, fries, Coke - all that and change back from $1.

Probably about 1971.

Burgerville, USA in the Portland/Vancouver area in the early 70’s 19 cents for a burger, 29 cents for a cheeseburger...

Get a burger, shake, and fries for less than $1.

Five Guys today - $8.65 for a bacon cheeseburger.

So I went for the regular cheeseburger, no bacon. Still, $7.65. Yes, even more than the greasy cheeseburger I had at the 50’s place last Friday.

Large cup of fries? $4.99 - just those two items were over $13 with tax - maybe it was $14.

At the 50’s place, two large double-cheeseburgers, large tater tots, small fry, small drink and BIG Coke (burp) - $15.99.

That same meal at Five Guys would have been $23 or $25.
