Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Jan 21, 2016 11:34 PM UTC Good news for people who love to put sriracha on everything: The [Huy Fong Foods](http://time.com/12539/sriracha-factory-california-pictures/) hot sauce now comes in “to-go” packets. [Sriracha2Go.com](http://sriracha2go.com/blogs/s2g/84105409-finally-introducing-the-first-and-only-huy-fong-sriracha-packets), backed by investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, offers 50-packs for $14.99 each and 200-packs for $34.99 each, and urges customers to “stay on the lookout for \[the packets\] at restaurants, fast food chains, stadiums, campuses and more to come throughout the year.” The brand [went also viral](http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-sriracha-key-chain-bottle-20141111-story.html) a couple of years ago when it launched keychain-sized sriracha bottles. While many fans of the [Huy Fong Foods page on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/huyfongofficial/posts/509602005886717) seem excited about the packets, some are chastising the Los Angeles-area brand for allowing the condiment to be sold in packaging that is not eco-friendly. “No no Huy Fong Foods, Inc., creating more garbage for the landfill is not the kind of game change you should be going for,” one wrote. Other users shared ideas for sriracha products that they would like to see next: “hair gel????” ### Photos: An Inside Look at a Sriracha Factory  Jalapeno peppers, grown in nearby Ventura County, are crushed inside the Huy Fong Foods factory in Irwindale, Calif.
