A recap for yourself another van winkle fans:

The notice on the Huy Fong site is about 3 years old,
just about the vintage of my bottle, and depending on how
long the counterfeits were being made, they could go back
to when I first tried sriracha. Huy Fong has the rooster
logo, hence "rooster sauce".

I didn't notice any difference in flavor when I acquired
my bottle. Which means either the counterfeit bottles
contain real Huy Fong (buying in bulk and bottling yourself
maybe could turn a profit), or the counterfeit rooster
sauce is an identical recipe, or all of the rooster sauce
I've ever had was from counterfeit sources, or the website
is wrong and my bottle is the real thing in a variant package.
