I was kinda disturbed the last time I bought bbq sauce they have like 100 to choose from and every single one of them except one that I could find had high fructose corn syrup in it.

You're doing BBQ Sauce wrong if you aren't using Stubbs. That's the face of someone who knows good BBQ. (short of making your own)

We always used Sweet Baby Rays and its okay but I've never been crazy about it. Stubbs was not very wide spread where I lived but I see it all over out here in the Midwest. I'll have to try it.

We used to stock the Stubb's in the "african"/"ethnic" section at my store - so you may find it there in other stores. Not with the regular sauces.

I don't know - it was weird and I felt weird having the section. They had Stubb's, all the Sylvia's stuff and some other weird foods.

This is still the best BBQ sauce brand I've tried.

Because why do we need to put high fructose corn syrup in everything, what is wrong with just plain sugar? Not one, but two entire 4 ft sections of nothing but bbq sauce and virtually all of them sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.

I like to avoid hfcs where I can, a quick google search tells me they now think its a lot closer to sugar, but its a fact fructose makes you hungrier and hfcs is 45/55 glucose/fructose; whereas sugar is 50/50. It may not make a difference; I don't not eat things with hfcs, because its in just about everything. But given the choice between sugar and hfcs I'll stick with sugar.

That's good to hear, I haven't seen Stubb's before, but this most recent time I was looking at bbq sauces at the store I found some sugar free bbq sauce and its made by Stubb's, I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Stubbs is my go to BBQ sauce, though Kroger makes a nonHFCS BBQ sauce, its pretty bland though.

The ethnic sections don't command a premium like other shelf spaces. The BBQ section is very competitive and smaller brands can't always pay or want to pay that so they market themselves as something different.

It's not KC style. KC BBQ sauce is usually spicy.

Bro, I live in KC. I grew up here.

I should probably make a distinction between the 'commercial' classification of what a KC BBQ sauce is, and what the local is (at least for me). And I was talking about the former. Most of what people outside of KC are exposed to is that overly sweet "KC Masterpiece" type of crud, and that's probably what I'd classify Sweet Baby Rays as. There are whole sections of this kind of sauce in most groceries.

Now, if I wanted to throw shoes on I could go grab two examples of "more spicy than sweet" KC BBQ, like AB's and especially Gates. In fact, that's one of my knocks against Gates, is that I find their sauce to be a tad bit too spicy for a place that charges you for drink refills (unless they've changed that). Also the people taking your order that scream "WELCOME TO GATES HOW CAN I HELP YOU" as loud as they can is annoying, LOL.
