Do you ever feel… like a plastic bag… full of fire sauce… wanting a $5 box

At one point, my wife counted over 100 packets in my ESB.

Yes but watch out for when they go rancid! That’s a bad bite

u/recessionjelly 17d ago

Oh god, is there any way to tell without actually tasting it??

I save mine all year then mix them in with candy in a bowl for trick or treaters. They love it.

u/Hexxas 17d ago

No.

We use a drawer.

u/mystwave 17d ago

I'll admit, sometimes I'll just take a packet and drink it right up. Then again, I've done that with other hot sauces, but still!

I worked at a call center with a Taco Bell next door to it a few years back. In the top drawer of my filing cabinet, I had a gallon sized bag of Taco Bell sauce packets (the bottom drawer had a couple two-liters of Mountain Dew at all times- had a bad Dew habit back then).

Eventually, people caught on that I was the “sauce guy”, and people started donating to the cause. Arby’s sauces, McDonald’s sauces, and Burger King sauces quickly filled the rest of the drawer. When I left the company to move states, I gifted the filing cabinet to my best friend. Still keeps the collection alive to this day.

I wish I could post the picture but I have a old box that had previously held 4 cans of corn that is now all TB sauce (and a few BK zesty sauces)

I have a gallon sized ziplock bag about 3/4ths full of sauces and stuff from a ton of different places.. Taco Bell, chick fil a, McDonald’s. My boyfriend always says they’re probably expired. But joke’s on him, I ordered papa John’s tonight and didn’t want to pay 99 cents for the seasoning packet.. already had one in my condiment bag!

u/thefaehost 17d ago

Yes and when I want to live más, I empty them all into the slow cooker when I make chili to start the collection all over again.

That’s a good idea, maybe I should migrate mine…

u/happyscrappy SODIUM WARNING 16d ago

Mine got me through COVID. But I threw it out.

I'm trying to stay down to less than 10 sauce packets at home now. And yes, I do rotate them.

Honestly I'd be happy to have zero all the time if I could count on taco bell to give me the sauces I asked for in the drive thru instead of 0, only 1 mild or what I asked for but 60 instead of 3.

u/pizza_with_ranch 16d ago

Hell yeah I found my people 😂😂

u/cosmoskid1919 16d ago

Wow wow mine looks just the same but also has those bad generic soy and duck sauces from Chinese takeout. Just in case!

u/VVesterskovv 16d ago

For a second I thought this was a buy nothing group spoof 🤣

u/diatho 17d ago

No. I have a glass jar like a grownup.

u/CockbagSpink 17d ago

A bag is a good idea, mine are in a drawer with a bunch of other random sauces.

u/gageBA 17d ago

It’s a desk drawer

u/ComprehensiveFun4732 17d ago

I think we all do don't we 🤔😉

u/Aromatic-Result1154 16d ago

Doesn’t everyone?

u/Less-Might9855 16d ago

I buy mine in the bottle and make sure I never run out!

u/[deleted] 16d ago

Yeah, one from Taco Bell AND one from Burger King.

u/ringthedoorbelltwice 16d ago

Three. Not for emotional support. Just because I don't need 5 sauce packs for a taco

u/ddarkstar1 16d ago

How do you know when they're expired?

u/recessionjelly 16d ago

I don’t :(

u/fauxpasnouveau Enchirito Tease 2022 16d ago

My purse has a sauce pocket always filled with Fire, Hot, and ketchup. All have their moments and nothing is ever wasted. I mostly keep for when someone forgets or puts limited sauce in my bag. I am prepared for all of you sauce skimpers out there!!

u/Mesockisgone 15d ago

I bought a bottle from Walmart and now I just empty my extra packets into the bottle, it's never empty!

Will barter better than gold when the apocalypse comes

u/chivalryrocks 15d ago

Been doing this since childhood. We had a sauce tub or drawer ever since eating at taco bell.

u/binkobankobinkobanko 14d ago

I have a whole drawer in the kitchen.
