    Yep. My favorite hot sauce has 1200mg of sodium per two tablespoons… And I would drench my food in that shit.

    Same with soy sauce. Each of those little packets you get from your favorite Chinese place is probably at least 300mg of sodium.

      Yeah I got through a… whatever, a giant jug of Frank’s hot sauce, I guess half a gallon. Every time I used it I’d visibly bloat up from the sodium, but was probably using a quarter cup minimum every time.

      Tried my best to use USA measurements for American people’s benefit. The jug was >2 litres and we’re talking 60ml a pop, absolute minimum. Apparently that’s five grams of salt, nearly 2000mg sodium. Wow.
