Who among us is not a fan of that delicious red, hot Sriracha sauce?
Well, it appears an ongoing drought in Mexico is causing a severe shortage of chilli peppers - the main ingredient of Sriracha.
The lack of red jalapenos has led to the spicy condiment being sold online for up to twenty-five times its normal price.
Griffin Hammond, a filmmaker who directed the 2013 documentary "Sriracha", told Newshour's Razia Iqbal he hasn't been able to buy any of the famous green-top Huy Fong bottles for over three months.

There was a spill on I-10 of some 100 gallons of that stuff. The fire department had to put on HaZmat suits to clean up the mess
