I put that stuff on regular popcorn and compared it with Smartfood&#8217;s offering and thought the flavors might be cousins, but they&#8217;re not twins. While both are peppery, vinegary, and garlicky, the sauce is also slightly tomato-y, even though the vegetable is not listed as an ingredient in the sauce. To be honest, when I first tried it, I thought the snack&#8217;s flavor reminded me more of Tabasco.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/sffrankspop3.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Smartfood Frank s RedHot Popcorn Compare\" title=\"sffrankspop3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also, I find it odd that the popcorn is spicier than Frank&#8217;s RedHot Sauce. However, it doesn&#8217;t reach a level that requires me to stop and give my mouth a rest or have something to soothe my mouth nearby when my hand dives into the bag. Of course, your mouth may vary. While it doesn&#8217;t burn that much, for some reason, I got the same sweaty scalp and runny nose that I&#8217;ve only experienced with much spicier products. Or maybe I need to see a doctor.<\/p>\n<p>While Smartfood&#8217;s Frank&#8217;s RedHot Flavored Popcorn doesn&#8217;t precisely capture the flavors of the hot sauce, it&#8217;s a tasty snack in a giant bag that my hand found itself in a lot while watching something that absolutely was not a marriage reality show. <\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free product sample from Smartfood.
