<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If there are two things the internet loves, it’s tier lists and sauces. That’s it \u2013 just those two things. Nothing more.<\/p>\n
Don’t act like you’ve never glared at a fifteen-minute YouTube video of some dork ranking their favorite\u2026 I don’t know, band-aid shapes and raged out when they put “butterfly” in the C-tier. That’s a great functional shape! Who is this hypothetical fool I’m inventing out of thin air?!<\/p>\n
Then you’ve got the social media sauce epidemic we’ve been living in for the past decade. Every “viral” sandwich, burger, burrito, etc, looks delicious\u2026 until it’s smothered with a waterfall of multi-colored sauces. Who’s eating these wet disasters?! A little dab’ll do ya!<\/p>\n
So, in honor of the internet’s two biggest (fact-checked) obsessions, I decided to make my own sauce tier list. Rapid fire, ready:<\/p>\n
S-Tier \u2013 None.<\/p>\n
Yeah, that’s as far as I got. I don’t have a favorite sauce. I’m desperately seeking a favorite sauce to fill my S(auce)-tier. If only there were a new sauce out there to knock my socks off, a great sauce, maybe even an\u2026 oh, hey, Goldfish has a new “AWESOME Sauce” flavor. Let’s do it.<\/p>\n
If you’re like me, seek help, but also, you’re probably wondering what “awesome sauce” is. I ate two handfuls, and I’m still curious.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Pepperidge Farm doesn’t even know, as the bag reads, “Sweet, smoky, tangy\u2026 Awesome. The taste that’s hard to describe and impossible to resist.”<\/p>\n
I agree with half of that statement. They’re hard to describe but quite easy to resist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
My initial assumption was that these would be a generic “burger sauce.” I think I was hoping for that because deep down, I feared what was coming, and let’s just say it’s a flavor that would probably land on my C tier \u2013 Chick-fil-A sauce.<\/p>\n
I know people swear by it, but you can keep Chick-fil-A sauce. I think it’s a strange concoction that isn’t better than the individual sum of its parts. I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re going for.<\/p>\n
Initially, these taste like a sweet-ish BBQ sauce, and right when you start to enjoy that, the tang gets a bit vinegary, and if you start to enjoy that, the flavor flat-out dies in a time span shorter than a real goldfish’s memory.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This is one of the worst Goldfish crackers I’ve ever had, even beyond the flavor itself. The cracker is so bland and\u2026 crackery. As dumb as it sounds, it’s the first time I’ve ever been cognizant of the cracker. I’ve never gotten that from other varieties because the flavors persist.<\/p>\n
I mean, I can’t argue with the bag; these are sweet, smokey, and tangy. They would’ve been quite good if they were also a little spicy. They could’ve been saltier too.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I can’t say these are awesome. They’re not awe-ful, but I’m not a big fan. If you love Chick-fil-A sauce, you’ll probably wanna catch ’em all, but again, it’s one of the quickest flavor drop-offs I can remember in a savory snack like this. These probably should’ve been “Flavor Blasted.”<\/p>\n
D-tier confirmed.<\/p>\n
