The heat was Frank-ly unbearable.
A semi-truck leaked a whopping 40,000 pounds of sticky Frank’s RedHot sauce onto an Ohio highway amid a brutal heatwave last week.
The truck carrying loads of the popular condiment began leaking while traveling north on Interstate 71 in Delaware County on Thursday, leaving a trail of the spicy sauce on the roadbed before its driver realized, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
The driver eventually pulled into a truck stop as fire crews followed the trail of the bright-red mystery fluid to find its source.
“Our crews were out on the highway trying to track it down and actually were able to follow the trail to the Pilot,” Berkshire, Sunbury, Trenton & Galena Fire Chief Chris Kovach told the outlet.
After learning that the substance was Frank’s RedHot sauce, fire crews were forced to call in the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, according to local reports.
Due to the hot sauce’s acidity, flushing it into waterways could pose environmental risks. Instead, crews had to use containment protocols and hazmat materials to stop it from spilling into drains.
Kovach told the outlet that the trucking company will have to arrange for a cleanup company to properly address the spill.

I put that shick on everything, including asphalt
Been awhile since I had Frank’s
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Yummy 😋😋😋
Including ROADWAYS...
“ My brother even puts the stuff on his scrambled eggs.”
Since I pretty much lost my sense of taste due to Covid, I put Franks and hotter sauces on my food. Unfortunately, when I eat wings, I have to use Carolina reaper hot sauce to get some flavor.
My taste has pretty much deserted me over the last 6 months or so. I haven’t been sick or anything, so I don’t know why.
Maybe it’s an age thing.
Trump's Fault...🤓
Won’t in evaporate or dissipate naturally?
After the Alaskan Valdez oil spill the conclusion and hot wash after the incident was that they probably did more harm to the environment cleaning it up than if they would have had let it chemically broken down and disapated naturally.
A similar conclusion was applied to the drilling rig
Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The DWH spill washed ashore and was absorbed naturally by the alluvial plain lessoning overall impacts.
The employment of “critters” to feed off the spill is also very important to this process.
“I don’t care much for Frank’s or Texas Pete.
I prefer Sri Racha sauce for its flavor, which is garlic.
A single drop is usually all it takes for me.”
Louisiana hit sauce = cayanne peppers, vinegar, & salt... anymore ingredients than that is blasphemous... Tabasco’s have their own special blessing.
“Won’t in evaporate or dissipate naturally?”
Back 100 years ago great quantities of oil leached out of the sand off the coast of Beaumont TX. The VOC’s evaporated and covered the beaches with tar balls.
My wife and I visited New Iberia, just so she could see where Tabasco was made. We were living in BTR at the time and hot sauce was like a religion down there.
Confirmation on the Crystal Hot Sauce. Hoes great on Harold’s fried chicken. We are a Crystal hot sauce, though my son goes with Trappey’s Red Devil. No Durkee/Frank’s here.
They need to wreck a milk truck at the same site to help.
I like Franks and the garlic of Sriracha, I think is how it’s spelled
Good on everything!
That’s bad. I’d show it to my cat but I’m afraid to wake him.
So do I. I got it once when the store was out of Tabasco sauce and I've been a fan ever since.
I’ve always thought that Tabasco had the best flavor, but it’s just too hot for me.
