This video popped up on my EweTube; the history and process of making Tabasco Sauce.  As a fan, a geopolitic fan, generally curious person and Industrial Engineer, I found this pretty fascinating.  Enjoy!

    I have also been to Avery Island. I agree with @nolaegghead, it's a really cool place. If I'm ever in the area again, I think I will stop by again.
    There are countless hot sauces on the market, but Tobasco is unique.

    If you like Tabasco, and you like Tennessee Whisky, then you'll like what's called Hot Dickel; (yes, there's a joke in there).

    Right up the road from my hacienda.  The best is their Scorpion sauce.  If you wanna sound like a local, you pronounce the H in MclHENNY.  It has always amazed me that such a small factory is capable of supplying sauce to the friggin world.  Incredible!
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    loved watching the video. Hard to find employees personally invested in their company like that these days. Should be an inspiration for all employers.

    Interesting.  I’ve never seen that.  Where can you get it?

    sampled it but haven’t got a bottle yet.
