How to Choose Between Mild, Medium, and Hot Sauce at SUPER-QUE.COM

SUPER-QUE.COM sells bottled sauce in three heat levels — Mild, Medium, and Hot — at $6.60 per 18 oz. jar, or $67.20 for a case of 12. If you already know how much heat you want, buy that level by the jar. If you're unsure, buy a single jar first or build a mixed case, since a case lets you combine any quantities of the three sauces and saves $1 per jar.

The three heat levels

The site lists exactly three sauce options, each priced the same:

Because the price is identical across all three, heat level is the only variable in your choice — there's no cost penalty for picking Hot over Mild, and no discount for picking the mildest option.

How to decide which level to buy

Since the site doesn't publish a Scoville rating or ingredient breakdown for each sauce, you can't compare them on measured heat. That leaves two practical approaches:

• Buy by known preference. If you already have a heat level you reliably enjoy on food, match it: Mild if you want flavor with little burn, Hot if you want noticeable heat, Medium if you sit in between.
• Buy a single jar to test. At $6.60 for 18 oz., one jar is the low-risk way to find out whether a level suits you before committing to a case.

The site's own instruction is simply to "select your favorite temperature," which assumes you already know your preference. If you don't, testing one jar at a time is the safer path.

Buying a case: mix and match

A case holds 12 jars total and costs $67.20 — $5.60 per jar, a dollar less than buying individually. The key detail is that a case is not locked to one heat level. You enter a quantity for each of Hot, Medium, and Mild, and the site calculates the number of cases for you based on the total jars ordered.

That means you can:

• Order 12 of one level if you're confident.
• Split a case, e.g. 4 Mild, 4 Medium, 4 Hot, to try all three at the discounted price.
• Weight the case toward whichever level you use most.

If you're buying for a household or a group with mixed preferences, a split case is the only way to get the per-jar discount without committing 12 jars to a single heat level.

A reasonable order of operations

1. Pick the heat level you think fits your tolerance.
2. If you're confident, go straight to a case and mix levels as needed.
3. If you're not confident, buy one jar of the level you're most likely to want.
4. Once you know your preference, order a case — mixed or single-level — to save $1 per jar.

What the site doesn't tell you

There's no published heat scale, ingredient list, or flavor description for the three sauces in the available page content, so heat comparisons between Mild, Medium, and Hot can only be inferred from their names. If precise heat matters to you — for example, if you're buying for someone with a low tolerance — start with a single jar rather than a case.
