Sriracha is an Asian style hot sauce. As such, it has a moderate amount
of heat and can contain a lot of sugar. It has the consistency of
ketchup. American/Mexican hot sauce contains little or no sugar and a
heat level that can get pretty insane. My kids like getting me some
American hot sauce with insane levels of heat. I enjoy not using those
bottles.

Sriracha has a moderate amount of heat? I use a number of different hot
sauces and I would say that Sriracha is very hot.Given the range of hot
sauces in North America I would put it closer to the high end of hot.

No, it's not that hot.

Beyond Insanity, Blair's Crystal Death, The Rapture, Mo Hotta Mo Betta
are all hotter than Sriracha, which is made from jalapenos.  Which are
not all that hot; I slice fresh jalapenos onto salads.
