My sweat or tears are room-temperature, but after eating so much Kimchi recently, I smell like garlic & chilis when I sweat (& a little Ginger):
mine is much spicier than typical Kimchi, however

What I mean to imply is that Tabasco is not very hot on the Scoville scale.
In regard to your tears, I hope they are body temp. Otherwise you might be coldest person this side of eternity.
That being said, that garlic sure has it's health benefits. Fights colds, reduces blood pressure, improves cholesterol, lowers risk of heart disease, etc. I say, "eat up, boo!"
My introduction to traditional Kimchi was in 1991 during my 1 year deployment to Korea. The whole country smelled like it. Had no other choice but to join in.
Took me a few tries to like it but then I couldn't stop eating it. I don't remember it being all that hot.Really enjoyed the Korean food except for that time I ate too much blood sausage. Can't even smell it to this day!
I have fond memories of that year; the food and many other things that I can't really talk about here.

Almost the same here:

People love Sriracha.
To me it has this nasty after taste like garlic that went bad. Does it taste garlicky to the people who like it? I know there’s garlic in it.

I do taste garlic, couldn't tell you it went bad though. Maybe you're a super taster, or after years of army mess food I've grown accustomed to shutting off my taste buds from necessity.
I dunno mate, it's a single brand of hot sauce, if you don't like it that's awesome too - even if it's a popular brand of hot sauce.

The common Huy Fong Siracha sauce definitely has that fermented garlic flavor going on. I like it with some foods, but I don't use it as much as my other sauces. One of my favorite readily available siracha sauces is the Sky Valley brand:
It does not have as strong of a "fermented" flavor.
The Pepper Plant makes some mighty tasty sauces ( I hate all-heat-no-flavor sauces). They seem to be a bit over-priced right now, though.

$5 a bottle seems fair to me with prime shipping. What are you used to paying per bottle?

+1 Good stuff. Price seems fair to me (those are somewhat larger bottles).

I think it’s good! It’s not very spicy, but has enough Jalapeno to be noticed.
It’s thicker than a regular hot sauce (probably due to the Pumpkin, Flax, and Chia seeds), and you can really taste the Garlic and Turmeric. It’s tastefully pleasant.
I'm rarely using spicy sauces anymore, I sprinkle on some chili/lime, we use it like normal people use salt:
They're body temperature for a very short time, or else they'd feel hot to our cheeks, which is sort of ironic.
However, when it comes to cold, if it were rated by the hardness of my heart, then you're on the right track:
'You've got a heart, yeah a heart of STONE!'
Right, it's generally served cold!
The stuff I made is so spicy that it comes up your nose like when you have too much *wasabi.
After all the time I spend in the Land of Smiles, I could write a novel specifically about the things we aren't supposed to talk about.
If you want to read about how it might have been, there's a book I can recommend, by Stephen Leather.
