It doesn’t happen often… But every once in a while, Foodiggity is successful at predicting the future. Even if Sriracha Vodka was as inevitable as the sun rising in the morning, it’s finally happened. You’re welcome, vodka-makers.
Brought to us by UV Vodka, the chili-flavored booze joins a long and questionable list of flavored vodkas. Now we just need the Ecto Cooler and Circus Peanut people to get to work.
At the time of this writing, there are no two food items that increase Foodiggity’s web traffic more than sriracha and bacon. So, we estimate that Sriracha Bacon Lollipops should get us about 32 quadrillion pageviews.
Brought to us by Lollyphile, the sweet/salty/porky treats are available in packs of 4, 12, or 36. We’ll let you know when Foodiggity’s server explodes.

Sorry, peppermint… You had a good run. But, Sriracha Candy Canes exist now, and they’re a perfect excuse to get us to start eating candy canes again. Not just using them as an extra ornament, or helping us reach stuff.

Recently, a few residents of Irwindale, California complained about hot chili-laced fumes in the air from Sriracha’s new nearby manufacturing plant.
Unsurprisingly, The Oatmeal has a solution to help make the air in Irwindale tolerable, and avoid any further motion to shut Sriracha down. Enter, The Oatmeal Respirator — Srirachalypse avoided. Thanks, Matthew!!
