Blues Hog sauces in squirt bottles??? I never saw them before!

Today I was not even looking for sauces, but their squirt bottles caught my eye...Guess those are aimed at folks who are too challenged to unscrew a Mason jar lid - and are fine paying extra for thinned down Blues sauces so they will squirt thru that little bitty lid! LOL LOL LOL

I bought one Friday… did not put that much thought into it but now I feel like a IDIOT! LOL LOL LOL

Just messing around Ron. I didn’t compare prices, they had both there. I have assume it’s the same recipe and viscosity, just a convenience factor. I rarely use bbq sauce anyway just need to keep some on hand.

They are absolutely a game changer. You can put the sauce right where you want it with no mess at all and no waste at all. Just awesome for ribs etc. That’s why the pros pour sauce into squeeze bottles, convenience and control. I wish they all did this it’s the best thing since sliced bread was invented during Ron’s senior year of college. 😁

Bought a few squeeze bottles over last couple years. I really like the plastic bottles. If it’s thinner I didn’t notice. Still tastes fantastic.

It’s the exact same product in a far superior package.

 It’s for those who don’t like that gunked up threads on their jar lid. It’s for those who don’t like slopping sauce all over the deck or patio. It’s for those who like convenience. It’s really for most everyone. 😁

Following this one this weekend for sure.

I noticed they were more expensive per ounce too RRP!  But the convenience of applying the sauce that way did make me think about it.  So I just thinned the sauce out of the jar with some water and put the mix into some left over squirt bottles I had.  That way I didn't feel like a total idiot for paying more for watered down sauce!

There are 4-6 more ounces in the squeeze bottles depending on the particular sauce. If you want to drive the base model knock yourself out. I’ll take the power windows and locks for a couple dollars more. 😁 

one might also realize you can fill the squeeze bottles with a jar if you’re that frugal. 

I first saw BH in the squeeze bottles at Ace last weekend. It saves me the trouble of filling a squirt bottle from a jug, I'm A-OK with it.

I've transferred my peanut oil, EVOO, soy, hoisin, and oyster sauces to squirt bottles; especially good for the oyster sauce which is too thick to pour out of their glass bottles, more so when its refrigerated.  Mayo and ketchup I get in the squirt bottles with the squirter at the bottom, they work well.  
 
Oddly barbeque sauce I still buy in glass; I normally pour some in a small pot, heat on the stove, and brush it on at the grill.  To each his own.

Well - if anyone is counting then I guess I get the award for p*ssing off the most people on this Friday night. I just use the jars since most of the time I am only saucing racks of ribs. I find pouring some into a dish and then using a brush I can sauce them in a jiffy! Having to squirt a rack seems like it would take more time...but I to each his own!

Use a coffee mug and the brush stays in without falling out.  Also handle.

BTW, it’s not watered down or thinned down. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️😁

There are more ounces in the bottles, but they cost a good deal more!  So on a per ounce basis you pay more money, which didn't make any sense to me.  

Should be $2 more. Not what I’d call a good deal more $.33 or $.5 per ounce more depending on the product. Not sure about that. 

We've offered the squeeze version for over a year now.  From a retail point of view, much less shipping damage with the plastic vs glass.  We sell many empty new squeeze bottles alone for $2-3.  I do think the original version left in fridge becomes stubborn to squeeze out.

@RRP, personally I do math just like that myself. I’m not driving 10 miles to save .03 per gallon but I almost never choose the convenient route and the Pennie’s keep stacking up.

 I want to apologize for what I thought was a funny comment about someone being challenged opening a Mason jar lid. I now know that came across as a hurtful comment to some eggers with arthritis. 

Once again I wish I would use the draft option here so as to re-think something before posting it since there is no working STFU option in my feeble mind! 

It’s not funny or unfunny or even hurtful. It’s just wrong. Just treat yourself and buy the squeeze bottle sauce that will last you 6-12 months and cost $2 more that $.165-$.33 per month. You can stretch it. 😁
