North Carolina Man Just Might Have The World’s Largest Hot Sauce Collection
Twenty-six years ago, Vic Clinco’s wife bought him some bottles of hot sauce. Since then, Vic’s collection has grown to roughly 11,000 bottles. It has even moved with him from Arizona to High Point, North Carolina, where it’s now on display in his basement.
According to WFMY-TV, Clinco’s collection may be big enough for the Guinness World Record. Discussions are ongoing. In the meantime, Vic says he plans to keep on amassing more bottles until there’s “no wall left in sight.” He’s almost there with his inventory of hot sauces from every corner of the planet.
How obsessed is this man with hot sauce? You can see for yourself. Vic documents his hot sauce odyssey on Instagram. His account name is pepperboy143. Clinco also hopes to hold tasting events in the future. He has the set-up for it in his High Point home, which looks like the ultimate hot sauce shop. I’m assuming he has some Texas Pete from nearby Winston-Salem in his collection. Check out the impressive display in the video below:
