THERE’S nothing worse than having your favorite product discontinued.
And one woman knows the pain all too well after her Trader Joe’s hot sauce was taken off the shelves.
Jocelyn Stauton took to social media to share her upset, writing: “Gone, baby, gone!”
She shared a picture of her top hot sauce, which was now an empty bottle, from Trader Joe’s.
The spicy taco sauce was her must-have, with flavors of fiery and tangy mixed peppers and spices.
And Jocelyn wasn’t the only person missing the sauce.
Reddit users have also asked for recommendations on what to replace it with.
One wrote: “I am sadly nearing the end of my last bottle of the TJ’s taco sauce. I haven’t bought any other type of taco sauce in years, does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement?”
“I am too and I appreciate this post so much. I’ve been nursing my last bottle and plan on making quesadillas tonight,” commented another.
However, Jocelyn revealed she was told by Trader Joe’s employee what the perfect dupe was.
She continued: “Although, a TJ employee himself advised me to replace it with Taco Bell Mild Sauce.”
The hot sauce fan said it did indeed taste ‘very similar,’ and was thrilled with the find.
Taco Bell bosses say: “Tomato puree and chili peppers give our mild hot sauce a savory kick.
“Pour on tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos or use as an ingredient for Mexican-style recipes.”
And the best part is that the sauce dupe costs just $2.08.
People were quick to take to the comments of her social media post.
