Something about hot sauce makes EVERYTHING taste better. Some even swear by weird combos like ice cream and hot sauce. One of the things people tell you to bring before coming into college is a bottle of hot sauce. So, whether you’re a Tapatío aficionado or a Cholula advocate, there is no doubt that hot sauce has changed the way you look at bland food. Here are some foods that will go from zero to 100 real quick, with the help of a little hot sauce.

  1. The dining hall “vegetable medley”
  2. The frozen rice you bought from Trader Joe’s
  3. Ramen of any quality
  4. Peet’s Coffee

  7. Boba (just the pearls)
  8. Bananas
  9. Pineapple pizza
  10.  Leftover Halloween candy
  11.  The neglected bag of salad you bought a week ago
  12.  The bear claws from Golden Bear Cafe
  13.  The printed copy of your problem set
  14.  Your roommate’s dead succulent
  15.  Your midterm cheat sheet
  16.  The latest Tame Impala release
  17.  Your GPA
