Hillary's Purse Bottle of Hot Sauce? Don't Believe Her?

[MineralMan]

Just Watch:

See this Conde Nast Traveler interview with her from 2012:

http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2012-08-30/hillary-clinton-interview-visionaries

We asked Secretary Clinton’s office what she always packs:

A small mesh bag filled with the basics: Sharpies, Advil, sunscreen. Converters to charge her BlackBerry and iPad anywhere in the world. Red pepper flakes and a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce for adding spice to her meals.

Any questions?

[think]

1. Don't care either way. It's just hot sauce.

[MineralMan]

3. Yah, well, see...some folks were accusing her of

pandering with her hot sauce. Not so, apparently.

[geek tragedy]

4. was anyone here that stupid? nt

[MineralMan]

8. Oh, yes. There are two threads right now

in GD-P. Or GD if you prefer.

Two. Count 'em. Two.

Apparently it's today's false meme.

[geek tragedy]

11. lots of low information voters out there. nt

[MineralMan]

12. I'm not sure about the low information.

More like "misinformation" voters, I think. I learned about her hot sauce stuff from some thread where Bernie ate some soul food. A quick Google for Hillary soul food took me to a story about her visit to a soul food restaurant and a mention of her habit of carrying hot sauce with her all the time.

That had to have been almost a year ago.

Then, I searched today for Hillary Hot Sauce and found that CN Traveler article from 2012.

Memes are so easily checked these days. Trying to create one can be really embarrassing, it seems.

The Hillar Hotsauce-Gate is Now Closed and Latched.

[Prism]

49. *stares at Popegate*

Yeah, two whole threads. Glad you're on it.

[ismnotwasm]

22. Is that a trick question?

[geek tragedy]

24. maybe rhetorical, nt

[mhatrw]

56. Some Hillary Clinton supporters care about the most meaningless things.

Not sure how carrying around hot sauce can be seen as pandering.

[KingFlorez]

6. Translation: Attack failed

Too bad, so sad.

[think]

9. It's not important to me. Is hot sauce important to you in this election?

[KingFlorez]

10. No

But I'm aware of how the Sanders Cabal operates and clearly it is something they were ready to go nuts over.

[MineralMan]

20. Shame their phony meme failed the Google test,

isn't it? Still a little Tabasco would make that egg on their faces more edible, I'd think.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

2. Hill's hot sauce...

[BreakfastClub]

5. This hot sauce thing is the silliest attack yet. Now they're trying to make it

trend on twitter and photoshopping her with hot sauce. She likes hot sauce, let's get her! I have too much self-respect to act this way. If Bernie liked hot sauce, I wouldn't give a damn, and I wouldn't waste my time photoshopping him into hot sauce pics and trying to pretend he is pandering with his love of it. The silly season is upon us and the 12 year olds are leading the charge against hot sauce.

7. THAT'S it!! Undecided no longer - #ImWithHertburn

[ThePhilosopher04]

13. Who cares what someone carries in their purse? It's irrelevant to the issues at hand.

She likes Tabasco. Good for her.

[MineralMan]

15. But, see, folks are trying to create a "pandering" meme

about this. I just thought I'd go do a little meme-busting. Took me three minutes. A pity the memers didn't check it out. Embarrassing, huh?

[ThePhilosopher04]

38. I agree, it's petty.

[Avalux]

14. It's no secret I don't like Hillary, but the hot sauce thing isn't worth the time of day. n/t

[NWCorona]

16. I don't doubt that she carries a bottle with her to a degree.

I only say that because I never see her with a purse but it's not like I'm looking that hard either.

I don't think this is a big deal but team Hillary shouldn't be surprised that people are talking about it.

[MineralMan]

18. Yabbut the pandering meme is a bust, isn't it.

Kind of really weak sauce, it seems. Not much flavor to it, and no fire at all.

[NWCorona]

19. I don't see it as a bust but I don't think anyone thought this would

be a knock out or even taken seriously. It's hot sauce lol!

[Haveadream]

55. But still, it burns!

[MineralMan]

31. I imagine that when she's making an appearance or

mingling with people, someone else is carrying her purse, don't you? It would get in the way, really, in those situations.

[NWCorona]

32. Yes I would think that but even when she's out walking I don't see a purse

I am sure that she must have one tho.

[MineralMan]

34. Yeah, and there's someone nearby carrying it I'll bet.

Sort of like I do when my wife is shopping for clothes. "Here, honey, hold this for me, OK?"

We were at a funeral for some distant relative of hers, and there was lots of hugging, etc. I ended up carrying my wife's purse and her mother's purse, too, while they were doing all that hugging.

Some guy who is some sort of cousin came up to me and said, "Dude. Black purse and brown shoes? Really?" I almost peed myself I laughed so hard.

[panader0]

21. I was given a set of those mini bottles once. Different kinds of Tabasco.

They're about the size of your little finger (depending on how big your hands are), so one
bottle would only season one or two meals. I prefer Tapatio, it's a bit less vinegary and much
cheaper. When my son was here, he used a regular bottle every week.

[MineralMan]

23. There are so many great hot sauces on the market today.

Something for every taste and tolerance of Scoville ratings.

I have three or four favorites, but am always happy to fall back on Tabasco. Cholula's good too. Typically, most breakfast places have one or both on hand, but you sometimes have to ask. Even places like Denny's have it.

The Waffle House, that mainstay of Southern breakfast dining has it's own brand:



It's not bad, either.

[dinkytron]

25. Her quirks are so endearing. Maybe wee can pour some on Iraq and Libya and make them taste better.

[MineralMan]

27. Quirks? Millions of people love hot sauce.

It's not a quirk. It's a condiment a lot of people really like. But "wee?" Hmm...freudian slip? Wee = Dinky by some definitions, I guess.

[mcar]

26. You mean people are actually complaining about this?

I'm glad I'm not paying much attention today.

[silvershadow]

28. She should have sprinkled that stuff liberally (pun intended) on her milquetoast campaign.

While you all are talking about hot sauce, Bernie is talking about Wall Street, Citizens United, etc

[Jeffersons Ghost]

29. Rolling Papers, Panama Jack suntan oil

= Panama Papers

[azurnoir]

30. BTW it's Tabasco not Crystal which makes all difference between pandering and not

and when it's Tabasco it's not pandering , because most restaurant's stock that stuff

[MineralMan]

37. I'm not familiar with the Crystal brand.

[azurnoir]

40. It's sort of the Grandma of hot sauces and I believe the one originally used for Buffalo wings too

it's a little less hot and a bit more vinegary than tabasco and good on anything almost - I like it on plain potato chips and any kind of chicken or pork especially BBQed

[MineralMan]

41. I'll look for it and try a bottle.

I don't go for high scoville varieties too much. It's the flavor, not the fire, that I'm looking for. As long as my forehead sweats just a little, I'm good.

I looked it up and it's Louisiana based. I'll see if it's available around here.

[azurnoir]

43. oh trust me it is Cub has it

[MineralMan]

47. Cool. I'll pick some up and give it a try.

[Brother Buzz]

58. Finer 'Greasy Spoons' inevitably have both

And my unscientific observation: Crystal is more popular

[TheSarcastinator]

33. She Can Eat Paste for All I Care

Non issue, non controversy; a distraction from Clinton's very real lack of ethics.

[Punkingal]

35. Are you going to create numerous threads about this like you did the Pope?

I thought you were a grown-up.

[MineralMan]

36. Uh, probably not. There were two threads trying to spread this

lame "pandering" meme, though, so I thought I'd counter them with some factual information. Hope you don't mind too much. Really.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

[Punkingal]

42. That's lame, but your Pope threads weren't?

You should apologize.

[MineralMan]

48. Well, thanks for your advice. I'll think about it

for a minute or two.

[Punkingal]

52. Sure you will.

[cherokeeprogressive]

39. Here's where everyone got off track... she wasn't talking about Crystal Hot Sauce.

She was talking about Cristal Champagne. She doesn't leave home without it.

[MineralMan]

45. Hmm...hard to chill champagne in a purse,

I'd think. Even a split would take up too much space, especially considering the ice.

Maybe she has someone to carry her Cristal. Who can say?

[cherokeeprogressive]

57. Levity. Or an attempt at levity.

Personally, I couldn't tell Cristal and Dom from Korbel and Cooks.

I paid the equivalent of a car payment for a bottle of Dom in the 80s while visiting Monte Carlo. I was 21. I thought I got ripped off.

[Lucinda]

44. Is this really a thing?

[MineralMan]

46. Two threads started and are still on page 1.

Someone was trying to start a "pandering" meme about this. A little Google search fixed that.

[Lucinda]

51. Ahhh. They aren't threads I can see.

I may have to log out and view as a guest just for the lolz.
Yet another reason to like Hillary. I am a hot sauce girl myself.

[DemocraticWing]

50. Yeah, Hillary's affinity for hot sauce, guacamole, and iced tea have been known for a long time.

I actually think she has good taste on those things, although I don't quite care about what my politicians eat or drink.

[Turin_C3PO]

53. I only saw a few

people making a big deal of this. If you check the threads, most Sanders supporters were saying it's a non-issue. Just like the Pope thing was a non-issue. Both groups of supporters are equally guilty of spreading stupid shit, Mineral Man.

[Live and Learn]

54. Don't really care. Stupid thing to do and great way to ruin a purse/pocketbook. nt

[oldandhappy]

59. hot sauce?

And hot sauce influences governing in what way?
We are into hot sauce today?
Gosh, guess I will have to confess I just bought some cilantro and avocado sauce, giggle. Delish with turkey wrap.

[lunamagica]

60. A woman after my own heart! I put Tabasco on almost everything!

YUMMMM!
