Hot sauce is truly a global phenomenon. From all around the nation, to all across the world, hot sauce connoisseurs are constantly finding new ways to heat up everything from traditional mealtime to snacks and everything in between. It seems there’s a cultural acceptance of hot sauce that knows no boundaries. Of course, you don’t even have to leave home to take a flavor tour around the world.

Taco Bell recently released new, hotter menu items. Their Daredevil Loaded Grillers are topping the heat index – especially the Ghost Pepper offering. And, if you’ve pulled into any fast food restaurant over the past couple of years, you’ll know Taco Bell isn’t alone in their move towards spicier fast food fire flavor explosion. Ghost pepper fries and (supposedly) super spicy chicken sandwiches continue to appear on menus across the country.
