Crystal Hot Sauce

Crystal Hot Sauce is a brand of Louisiana-style hot sauce produced by family-owned Baumer Foods since 1923. 3 million US gallons (11,000,000 L) of Crystal Hot Sauce are shipped per year to 75 countries.[1] The sauce is reddish orange with a medium heat and a milder, brighter flavor than Tabasco sauce.

The new Crystal Preserves sign

Crystal was famous for its lighted sign featuring a chef stirring a pot of hot sauce with steam from the factory venting out through the pot. The sign was a New Orleans landmark. Like much of the company's bottling plant on Tulane Avenue, the sign was substantially damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Following the storm, Baumer Foods moved its plant to a new location in Reserve, Louisiana, located just up the river from New Orleans. The iconic sign was replicated and placed atop a new apartment building, built on the same site as the old factory.

The green wrapper that sealed the bottle had the word Crystal written on it previously; after Hurricane Katrina the writing no longer appeared on the label.

Currently, the dark green over-wrap says both "Crystal" and "Louisiana" in white cursive letters.

Ingredients

The ingredient list on the product's packaging is: aged red cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, salt.

gollark: After each feed is iterated over to get a list of items, that is.
gollark: Er, it's used in templating.
gollark: It doesn't make it clearer because you (can) miss the important special bits and might just skim over errors in essentially-copy-pasted error handling/synchronization/etc.
gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
