Do you grab a bottle of Sriracha — the Thai hot sauce named after the Eastern Thailand coastal city — when you need a little spice in your life? We certainly do. In the past few years sales of the condiment, which is made from chili peppers and distinguished by its signature rooster bottle, have skyrocketed, making it as much of a household name as Tabasco. People pour it on everything — noodles, eggs and even tacos. Lately we’ve noticed that Sriracha has been showing up in a number of snacks — some sound amazing, while others seem a bit bizarre. Here’s a rundown on a few of the Sriracha-flavored munchies that we’ve come across.

6 Best CBD Snacks for Delicious Relaxation

best cbd snacks 2021

What are CBD-infused snacks? CBD is the non-intoxicating compound extracted from cannabis and CBD snacks are edibles with CBD or cannabidiol (CBD's proper name) that can help you unwind and relax. CBD hit the nation like a roundhouse to the face over the last few years from CBD drinks to CBD skincare. Your mom takes it to get a good night’s sleep. Your trainer takes it as a post-workout pain reliever. Your girlfriend gives it to her labradoodle before a veterinarian visit. Science is still catching up with all the claimed benefits of cannabidiol, but anecdotal evidence suggests that the compound is kind of a wonder drug.

While some have given CBD the side-eye, given its provenance, rest assured that CBD has none of the intoxicating effects of its companion compound THC. That means no paranoia, no munchies, and no disorientation. Unless, of course, the feeling of full-body relaxation and well-being puts you in the mood for a snack. If so, munch away. Below, we rounded up some of our favorite CBD-infused snacks (aside from CBD gummies) that will not only satisfy your craving but also offer real-food nourishment with a heaping helping of the mood-lifting, pain-fighting benefits of CBD. Even if your day is dipping into the “negative” register, digging into these CBD snacks will surely turn the dial all the way to “positive.”

The 10 Best Hot Sauces to Spice Up Your Life

hot sauce

Hot sauce is as essential a condiment as ketchup, mayo, or mustard. In addition to heating up anything it touches, the vinegar and pepper flavors often work to liven up other flavors in the dish you’re eating. At the very least, hot sauce makes us feel good on a biological level, thanks to the presence of capsaicin.

Not all hot sauces are created equal, though. Some are just too hot, created as a novelty more than anything, while others do not have a balanced flavor, resulting in unequal parts of heat and deliciousness.
