Fails notability requirements of WP:ORG for this product brand name (i.e. the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources). Checking google news there is one article that mentions this product in the last ten years (in 2005) and that is in passing as an optional flavouring in a recipe from a magazine reader. This product does not appear to be sold outside of America, possibly due to the product name appearing slightly patronizing in other countries. Notability is not established and with an absence of sources is unlikely to be notable in the future. Ash (talk) 09:23, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete, non-notable product (also written like an advertisement, with somewhat POV in the descriptions of flavor). Not much decient information in the article either.

 * Comment A shop I worked for many years ago sold this product. The boss noticed it and asked if we had sauces for other body parts. Edison (talk) 02:16, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Appears per Google to be a widely sold commercial product . Per the New York Times back in 1961, it was the sauce others sought to duplicate :"'' The American-Chinese condiment, which comes in a jar, contains corn syrup, fermented soybeans and garlic."

 * Keep WP:IDONTLIKEIT is the only reason I would have for deleting the article, and that's only because I don't see the need for articles about any brand of condiments. Besides, I've been told not to say "I don't like it" until I've actually tried it.  Mandsford (talk) 13:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
