"While all of the sauces on this list offered up generally similar base flavors (which is to say, they were all going for some sort of take on BBQ sauce), they ultimately boasted various additions and complexities that made them differ significantly. Successful sauce flavors managed to balance any sweet, tangy, and possibly spicy flavors well, while those less successful flavors - including one flavor that stood out as the worst by a landslide - missed the mark entirely."
"While most of the Kinder's sauces on this list ranged from good to great, the same cannot be said for bourbon apple. It's not too often that you stumble across a BBQ sauce that's borderline inedible, but I fear that this Kinder's offering teeters dangerously close to such territory due to an impossibly sweet flavor profile that read more like candy than anything else."
"Yes, you read that right - this BBQ sauce tasted like candy, as in those sour-sweet liquid candies that you could squeeze straight into your mouth out of a tube. Needless to say, this type of flavor profile is not something I look for in a condiment."
Kinder’s offers many BBQ-adjacent condiments, with BBQ sauce as a prominent item. Ten Kinder’s BBQ sauces were tested to identify the best and worst flavors. Most sauces shared similar base BBQ characteristics, but differed through added ingredients and resulting complexity. Successful sauces balanced sweetness, tanginess, and possible heat. Less successful sauces failed to deliver a satisfying BBQ profile, with one standout worst option. Bourbon apple was described as borderline inedible due to an extremely sweet flavor. The taste was compared to sour-sweet liquid candies squeezed from a tube, which was not considered a desirable condiment flavor direction.
