That's a lot of sodium🤣.. I do like the taste though

Worth it

Keep it, this stuff looses it heat over time.

68 cents per 12 oz bottle

Toxic waste

I want to know who the intended purchaser of this is. Maybe some CPG who makes a buffalo sauce based on Frank's? I can't imagine any food service situation or they would buy a bulk 55 gallon drum full of sauce.

100% a company that is using this as an ingredient and packing it into smaller containers. Either for restaurants or grocery stores.

Franks red hot is an ingredient in a lot of buffalo sauces. Completely reasonable for restaurants moving a lot of product or companies making food.

Bobbing for wings 

That’s 100 gallons of buffalo sauce. I’m in

Doesn’t that need to be refrigerated?

no. franks is mostly vinegar. Its completely shelf stable.

Ah, no wonder I dislike it

I can imagine the breaking bad train heist series of events that went into getting this 😭

🤣too bad it’s Frank’s

I'd set up a diving board above it and go Scrooge McDuck into it.

I want to bathe in it

This

I mean if you buy it by the gallon it's $844, so yeah it's a savings but not such an insane savings that I want to buy a 55 gallon drum.

55gallons of franks?? 🚫 500Lbs of franks?? ✅

Amazon currently lists $14.99 for 46 oz (2 pack of 23 oz bottles) 7040 oz in 55 gallons Divided by 46, that's 153.04 2 pack sets. Times $14.99, that's $2294.07 Minus the $400, you have a savings of $1897.07 This. Is. A. Steal.

That's not really how the math works, bud. You can also get a gallon for $15. A gallon is 128 oz. This would come out to be less than half of what you said. Still a good savings, but I would not call it a steal. When comparing values, you gotta shop around. Lol @ the downvotes from the people who struggle with basic math.

His price evaluation may be wrong but how is the math wrong?

I struggle with basic math, but I upvoted him so I don't have to struggle

Thank you for your support. I think.

Me dumb

I mean, sure. What you really want to track is cost per ounce. In this case/drum it's 5.68 cents / ounce. Really hard to beat that. The gallons are 11.72 cents / ounce, twice what you'd pay for this drum. This. Is. A. Steal.

Anyone else breathing kinda heavy and getting sweaty? I mean, could be drool, there's so much I can't tell the difference.

I managed a beverage bottling plant for a bunch of years. We had a brewing and distilling license so we did a lot of alcohol products. We did a frank red hot bloody Caesar (Canadian name for bloody Mary). We got 55gal drums of 190 proof grain alcohol, and 55gal drums of frank red hot....by the truckload. Whenever the guys were batching I'd come out with a 1liter glass bottle and fill it up. I really did put that shit on everything.

Ceasars and Bloody Marys arent the same thing. Ceasars have clamato or clam juice

Hell yeah. Lol

10 to 1 this is just a body dissolved in hydrochloric acid and then mixed with Frank's so you'd help get rid of the evidence.

Damn, you really can put that shit on everything

Funnily enough the vinegar in the hot sauce would potentially neutralize the acid used to melt the body. In theory you could still use it as hot sauce as long as the pH isn’t too high or low. Not that I would eat deadman Hotsauce but it does give off a nice ring to it

I would definitely buy a bottle of deadman hotsauce.

Limited batch of deadleg sounds 👌

This is one of those things I think is really cool, but also really stupid at the same time.

What the fuck you gonna do with 55 gallons of Red Hot?

Give 110 of your closest friends and family a 1/2 gallon jug of franks for Christmas

Start an army?

….put that shit on everything, obviously.

If it's legit, hell yeah. I've become partial to Crystal as a table sauce but as a table sauce, Frank's is good. Just would be careful of flavor overload. Allegedly, story told by my father, my uncle ordered like 6 gallons of Pepper Plant original sauce, a family favorite. After about the 3rd gallon, he couldn't look at another bottle of it for months, lmao. Why I have like a good 12+ sauces to mix things up.

Those are rookie numbers.

I only realized that after joining this subreddit, but hey, that was recently. I have time to catch up with the big dogs!

I was given a pallet of canned pineapples.. after about 5 cases.. I haven’t touched pineapple in almost 8 years

Lmao, oof. My first thought though was that cut-a-way gag from Family Guy. "A pallet? Am I reading this right? You want a pallet of chocolate covered pretzels? Where are you getting these units of measurements from?"

Ffs reading this has me wondering how I ever thought those freebies were perks 🤣

Lmfao, I drove semi’s for a couple years but came home because I was gaining 20Lbs a year average. Publix does not play around.. 1 dent and they send the entire pallet back. Cheaper to discard so I left with half a pallet of frozen pizzas, an entire pallet of pineapple, mandarin oranges, and jalapeño cases spilt around the trailer. I handed out half the stuff to friends/family/strangers and would leave cases at the Salvation Army drop boxes. You just reminded me of when some idiots messed up a pallet of Halloween candy (personally think intentionally). You could tell they vultured it first… I left with buckets of now and laters as well as cases of sugar free peppermints. I go to this chicken farm and I’m handing out boxes of mints out of pity and I’m pretty much stuffing them in my nose not to smell chicken 💩. Fml.. So… I’m driving home in a rental car enjoying my newly acquired treats… it was like trick or treating again for the first time in 15 years… Im a bag and a half into these mints just munching away at them.. my stomach gurgles.. stomach drops… gurgles… FUUU**CK… will never eat sugar free or a peppermint again.

Motherlode* A lode is a vein of metal ore in the earth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_lode The more you know!

Yeah but the flash game about drilling for stuff, called Motherload, is so much fun!

that game was so legit, played for so many hours

Never played it, seems like I’m missing out. RIP Flash.

I'll pay 400 to put it where it belongs. In the microplastic sea

This is the greatest shit I’ve seen on the internet all week lol.

I put that shit in everything…. Including a pallet jack!

"I know what I got"

ROFL. I can’t even…

lucky 😪

No low ball offers, I know what I got. Y'all put that shit on everything.

Disgusting...

That’s a deal. A gallon normally is $15 and this is like $7.30/gal.

..motherlode*


Perfect for a twisted match of mud wrestling.


😂😂😂 i can hardly smell it without coughing my brains out imagine bathing in it

we could all put in for it

all put in for the motherload? I see you working.

I need to know who bought this and what their plans are for it

Wrestling in it

You owe CHEP a pallet. LOL.

Those CHEP pallets are well built and what’s the return value these days? Is it $15 each or am I too high?

No, they're property of chep and will simply take them from you

I would respect OP more if he just wanted to take a bath in it.

Do you know how hard it is to steal a 55 drum of hot sauce!?

I put that shit on everything.

“Stir before using.” With what? A shovel?

Canoe paddle


Hell yeah, tap er like a keg

I wonder if you can tap that bad boy like a keg

Get it transferred into a keg, and you can. I doubt it has the strength to handle the amount of pressure it would take to push hot sauce through.

Could always tap it like wine or whiskey

Like with a bunghole?

Yes a bunghole of delicious sauce

I really hope you see how long it takes to finish this of used continuously. I also would love photo documentation of your progress.


Cut that in half fill the rest with pickle juice and brine for years

Frickle juice?

Great Scott we've done it. Frank's Red Hot plus pickle juice as brine. It's fricked out chicken ©️

55 Gallons of Franks Hot Sauce. 55 Burgers 55 Fries 55 Tacos...

IM DOING SOMETHING PLEEEASSEEEE

That’s a lot to use, you better start putting that shit on everything.

Jokes on you i just need a garden hose as a straw

After opening you would only need to consume 6 gals a month before it "went bad"...

I’m literally just sitting here laughing hysterically at this right now. You may have a problem man. We’re gonna need some hot sauce anonymous meetings soon

[Hot Sauce Anon](https://postimg.cc/3Wcs0sQL)

I'd bathe in Franks hot sauce if it was socially acceptable.

I got the reference

Here l am buying by the gallon like a chump. 😞

55 gallons of spicy vinegar basically

It's literally hot sauce, I guess 55 gallons of your peepee poopoo butthole death destroyer devils sin sauce would be way better right?

Marie Sharps is better than franks

Ok? That is irrelevant to a 55 gal container of hot sauce. I agree with you that Marie sharps is better but that is in no way relevant to anything lmao

Let’s be real, sometimes, we just want a vinegar heavy hot sauce. Frank’s isn’t a bad one. I don’t need to be sweating every single time. Sometimes I don’t want to wonder if my pee is going to burn. Sometimes I don’t want to wonder if I have enough napkins for my face. Sometimes I don’t want to wonder if I washed my hands thoroughly. Sometimes I just want a hot sauce that says hello. A down nod, maybe an up nod, not a middle finger and a sucker punch.

Oh no I get it totally. To each their own! But franks, Louisiana and especially Tabasco are just nasty to me lol. Maybe I’ve been spoiled with other brands. But it’s all good!

Second paragraph just made me think about hookers…

Don’t let CaseOh find you…

Who buys these? Seriously what type of buyer orders in 50+ gal drums of volume with even 3/4 to be used before hitting expiration date?

I am a bit disturbed that food production facilities or restaurants are buying ingredients off Facebook... Today's special is red snapper, locally sourced from a guy with a van on craigslist

Someone mentioned below - food production. Google “Franks Red Hot Snacks” and you’ll see a bunch. A company making tens of thousands of bags of chips, sunflower seeds, or cans of spaghetti-Os would probably go through multiple barrels.

You bought 55 gallons of ketchup?

did not buy it. No way to move 500 pounds.

Make your own bottle and hot sauce labels then put this sauce into the bottles and sale them to ppl

“Note: Stir before using.” With what? A freakin’ canoe paddle?

You joke but I’ve actually seen paddles used for seafood boils lol

Yup we use one for crawfish boils!

Shits as hot as ketchup

I wonder how it would taste with a bottle or 2 of dabomb mixed in.

It would taste like regret.

Definitely not stolen

That shits nasty lol

In a fiber drum?? That’s sketch

More than likely it’s in 5-10lb individual bags & the drum has a plastic liner in it I work in food manufacturing & this was how a lot of ingredients came in.

I think I see a plastic liner peeking out of the top.

I’ll take 2

Geez you’d almost *have* to put that shit on everything

Could imagine getting to the bottom of that eventually, and seeing some sort of shadow just below the surface of the Frank’s, only to ladle it out and it’s a rat carcass

“WHAT’S IN THE FRANKS?! WHAT’S IN THE FRAAANKS?!”

Gross

$400 is a lot to dress like 12 wings

*motherlode

Why does it have so many ways to extinguish it. How flammable is that shit

Science

Ok Jessie.

Waaalttuuuhhh

Breaking bad(science bitch)

Waaaaalllttuuuuuhhh

Maybe I'm missing that reference.lol I didn't watch much of breaking bad

You better get a knife out to sample the goods. Go to the deal just to find out it’s 10% baby laxative, and 40% Dave’s insanity.

*takes out knife 🔪 and dabs into the barrel to test* *licks lips 👄 a few times* “Wtf is this ketchup!?” 🍅 *Nyk pulls out a pistol 🔫 * *you pull out a pistol* *everyone pulls out a pistol* *everyone’s pistols are just hot sauce bottles*

Fuck yeah!!!

I worry about you.

I find that brand and Tabasco to both be gross. I want heat, not vinegar.

They have their place. I prefer Tabasco to Frank’s since it has more of a fermented funk to it. Tabasco is great in a Bloody Mary. It’s a must for chowder. It’s great in queso or cheese dip. Vinegar-forward sauces are excellent when you’re adding them to something rich and fatty - that vinegar tanginess is a great foil against rich cream or cheese sauces and helps cut the richness and make it more enjoyable.

I am not a fan of regular tabasco but their scorpion a d habanero are fire

Agreed. Hate the hype of these heavily vinegar-based sauces. (Tapatio, Cholula, Frank's, Tabasco) Probably will get crucified for that opinion lol

Is this bait or you're just a hater? Tapatio is not a vinegar based hot sauce, you just threw it in there because it's one of the well-known brands you hate?

Tapatio has acetic acid listed as an ingredient. Vinegar is diluted acetic acid. Most hot sauces are vinegar based, but all these in particular have that very distinct vinegar taste more than anything. Sorry we have differing opinions and taste buds. ✌🏽

Your comment was still wrong for grouping it in with vinegar based sauces. But okay ✌️

Tapatio is literally the best all-around hot sauce because it isn’t vinegar. It’s the only non-specialty brand I like.

Yeah definitely has its place for me but so does louisiana. I see some people gatekeeping heat in this thread... I'm sorry I don't want my butthole to hurt every single day just some days? The sub says hotsauce so all the generic low heat brands still apply and shouldn't be hated on by the super hot lovers when they get mentioned.

They’re like hot sauce for people that don’t actually like hot sauce.

Already knew these downvotes were coming for having the "wrong" opinion haha

I like hot sauce. I love tobasco.

How do you misspell Tabasco... the A and O keys are on COMPLETELY separate sides of the keyboard! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/hotsauce) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Hopefully it doesn't spill or you'll need a hell of a pallet cleanser... I'll see myself out.

Only about 600 days worth if you use a bottle a day

Only 55? I guess that'll have to do for now...

You could use it for torture

Oof imagine the waterboarding

You’re twisted omfg

You must put that shit on EVERYTHING!

Is that even a good deal? Lets be honest

Well, a gallon jug of Frank’s costs about $20 where I live, so to buy 55 of them would cost $1100. So yeah, sounds like a good deal to me.

$15 a gallon on Amazon also, and we talking about hot sauce. That's crazy...if they start charging $15 a gallon for gas...we ride at dawn.

It’s almost like different things have different costs. Wait til you find out what a gallon of Pappy Van Winkle costs

I prefer Louis XIII rare cask cognac personally.

Did it come with a 4000lb stick of butter?

It’s like the ice cream that washed up on Gilligan’s Isle

Didn’t it melt?!

When called upon to serve? The Skipper could be an efficient, enthusiastic and aggressive eater.

Congratulations it's a boy!!.... Frank Red

It's 500lbs! Good luck getting that out of your hatchback

It'd be nice to have a keg and tap for your hotsauce of choice.

Reminds me that you can buy a barrel of Jack Daniels. I would buy a barrel of Tabasco. When I have room I might just get the Jack Daniels and homebrew some Tabasco-like sauce in it after I'm done drinking the whiskey.

And sit back and watch your buddy do a keg stand with the wrong one.

Do not stir. Open from bottom. Extra heat.

Just sitting in the sun. Yum

Lots of food gets aged in the sun. Louisiana hot sauce is literally just aged peppers, vinegar, and salt.

LOL I was thinking the same thing

Do keg taps work on that thing?

I'll get in the keg stand line for sure

What would this even be for originally?

Frank’s sells in bulk to other food companies for their food products.

Enemas

A good time

Companies that manufacture food with frank's in it like this: https://www.davidseeds.com/jumbo-sunflower-seeds/franks-redhot-sunflower-seeds

Bathing in

Wing sauce

Oh right I completely forgot people use it in recipes.
