Tabasco is only made from 3 ingredients: peppers, vinegar and salt. Cholula is made from water, peppers, salt, spices(whatever that means) and Xanthan gum, which is a thickener you can buy online. They could make it thicker by increasing the ratio of peppers to water and vinegar but they probably need to keep it at a certain ratio to keep the Ph in balance, plus Xanthan gum is a lot cheaper than peppers.

Since Tabasco pepper plants are sold in most places that sell Bonnie plants it's easy to make your own with whatever amount of vinegar you prefer. When I make my Tabasco sauce I actually soak my peppers in vinegar for several weeks to as long as I need them until I have to make more. The vinegar softens the peppers so that when I put them into a smoothie maker they vaporize, seeds and all. Then I just add more vinegar, some salt, mix it up and I'm done. Super easy to make. McIlhenny goes the extra step of aging them in oak barrels they buy from Jack Daniels so you can't replicate that flavor but you can make it taste pretty darn good.
