Of the most common hot sauces Franks is 450,Tobasco is 700 Cholula is
1000. Sriacha is 2200.  Sure there are some hotter ones for the die hard
heat fans but I will stand by my comment that Sriacha is not a moderate
heat.

Yeah yeah yeah. There are some hot sauces that the major heat fans like
to boast about buying and pretending to use them. Then there is the real
world where most people think that Franks and Tabasco are hot.

 
I wonder why my grocery store carries
 
El Yucateco Salsa Picante Kutbil-Ik XXXtra Chile Habanero Hot Sauce
Tabasco Habanero Sauce
Melinda's Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce
 
and so forth.  They generally stock only what they can sell.

How much of that stuff do they sell compared to things like Franks,
Tabasco and Sriacha.

Less, of course.  Wimps like me rely on those three.  In our
town of slightly more than 100,000 people, there are plenty
of people who enjoy more heat.  That's why the heat scales
at ethnic restaurants go all the way up.  We used to have
an Indian restaurant that offered "mild, medium, hot, Indian hot,
and More Than Indian Hot".  My husband ordered More Than Indian
Hot once.  I think we went out for ice cream afterward.
