Melinda’s, It’s hot for sure. Not as hot as their ghost pepper one. I haven’t tried Guana.

Melinda’s has nice heat and great flavour

I love Iguana, it’s in my personal sweet spot of heat and flavor. Not sure if I’ve tried that particular Melinda’s, but the ones I have tried are good.

Love iguana

Both are worth picking up for sure. Iguana has become a staple of mine.
Iguana isn’t as hot, but the flavor is pretty solid.

You can’t go wrong with melindas

Melinda’s is very delicious

Melinda’s are evergreen 🌲 there is no question to if they’re good, the question is how good, this is one is only terrific
By their standards just middle of the road

Thank you everyone for the replies!

I have a 4/5 heat melinda’s habanero in my fridge but it’s the fire roasted garlic one (ahh so good) so I assume this is a notch more intense
Spiciness level is:
Generally feisty but not too intense but if you use too much or are feeling oddly sensitive at the time it’ll give you a lil smackeroo on the snoot and you’ll exclaim “jumping juniper!” and run around in a circle for a few seconds

Both are great. Melinda’s products are always stocked in my house

Melinda’s is a good brand. I tried the honey habanero, pretty yummy.

I don’t like the iguana, I threw out most of it. My 2 cents.

Both are good to me

Melinda’s that stuff has phenomenal flavor.

Theres a yellow ignuana one, golden iguana or something like that, it’s quite excellent
mhouk88
Iguana for sure

They’re both good. Iguana is my goto though, it’s perfect with rice and beans

Never heard of Iguana but the Melinda’s is amazing. Everyone’s taste is different tho so always remember, individual experiences may vary.

Iguana great. Melindas okay. Just my humble opinion.

Haven’t had the iguana, but Melinda’s is pretty good. It’s not as hot as the label would lead you to believe; hotter than most of the mainstream sauces, but not likely to be unbearable for anyone.

Everything I’ve had from Half Moon Bay absolutely sucks. I saw someone praising them over on r/hotsauce so I went and dropped like $80 on various sauces and they all sucked. And they took like a month and a half to deliver domestically, and never responded to emails asking when my order would ship.
Just nothing good to say about them or their product.
eta: *This* sauce was *not* one of the many that I bought.

I have a case of that Melinda’s. It’s one of my favorites of theirs.
Slashredd1t
Melinda’s is actually top tier they definitely nailed spice to flavor ratios sims are more than others but I strongly STRONGLY recommend tasting all of there small bottomed with some random stuff

1 vote for Melinda’s, that particular one is on the hotter side of my preference but it’s delivers on flavor.

Melinda’s fucks

Melinda’s is very good!!

Melinda is alright

Iguana is the best tasting hot sauce out there. I haven’t seen it in a decade. Definitely snatch that up

Both of those are amazing hot sauce brands! Melinda’s is my favorite of the 2 though
melanthius
That’s the only version of Melinda’s I actively seek out
AccuratelyLying
I have a bottle of that Melinda’s sauce in my car currently. Had it on some Peruvian chicken earlier, it was 🔥. Not super hot, but enough to feel it.

They both taste like pain (I love hot sauce)

Man, that just unlocked a memory. Iguana was really my first hot sauce that wasn’t just whatever was lying around like Texas Pete or Tabasco. It’s pretty safe to say it’s what got me into hot sauces. I honestly completely forgot about it. I’m glad to see it’s still around! I haven’t had it in probably 15, 20 years. I need to find a bottle again! All that said, I remember it being very good!
