I love this sauce for sandwiches, as a dip, and for topping foods. I formerly could buy it in the 8 oz bottles at the local stores, but for some reason they stopped carrying this flavor although they still carry other Beano products. I bought a ketchup squeeze bottle and opened up the nozzle slightly to be able to use this thicker sauce. The 8 oz bottles seemed to retain their flavor long after the "Best By" date on the bottle, so I hope I will be able to use the contents of these four bottles before they go bad.
