What does the slogan mean?

[edit]

By direct translation into english, it just means "it's a salsa... very salsa!" I didn't know salsa could be used as an adjective--is this a meaning particular to guadalajara or are they just being cute? Citizen Premier 05:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An earlier version of the article has the translation "It's sauce that's... very saucy!" sounds better. It's used metaphorically to illustrate the adequacy of the sauce to sauce standards.It's a bit humorous since it isn't standard Spanish, but a sort of colloquial use where the magnitude is expressed by repeating the word. As you might say, "that is very me." The way "a manly man" doesn't refer to the man being man-like since identifying him as a man already says that, but that you are reaffirming the adequacy of him to fulfill man "standards". If it makes sense, you can say "that dog is very dog." to humorously or teasingly show how good at being dog-like the dog is. I don't know how to express this in wikipedia, it's sort of lost in translation. I am a native Spanish speaker, would it count as 'original research'? In English it seems a bit confusing, even ridiculously silly. English usage of "saucy" does have a definition to mean bold or piquant- things a hot sauce is, but also means impertinent,rude, or cheeky. Which, I believe is the most common understanding of it. Aside from maybe to mean 'covered in sauce'? which makes it sound needlessly redundant. 142.254.109.5 (talk) 07:53, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Charo white bg.jpg

[edit]

Image:Charo white bg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is this content appropriate for an encyclopedia?

[edit]

It reads as though it was written by the company's PR team! Rocky143 (talk) 04:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree, as the article looks like it is promoting the product. Captain Gamma (talk) 20:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree! The article is very short and seems to only list the facts: ingredients (including the not-so-flattering preservatives), sizes, etymology, history...Please indicate why you think this as I am completely baffled by you two! I looked at Pace picante sauce and Tabasco sauce and saw nothing different on those pages. LarsendeSLO (talk) 03:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Founder's Name?

[edit]

I don't want to make any wild assumptions here, but I'm thinking that ain't it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.121.229 (talk) 07:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. I'm not a native hispanohablante, but I've never seen the "aa" in the spanish language. However, after reviewing the official Tapatio website, they show the same name, so..... LarsendeSLO (talk) 03:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Competition

[edit]

Is this section necessary? We could create a category "Hot Sauce" and just use that. Why is there just a list of hot sauces? Can you have a hot sauce that would not be a competitor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.88.170.40 (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
