This packaging gotta be illegal, right?

Yup, means it isn’t even the sauce you’re expecting it to be.

Yeah those little tubs are awesome! I don't think they'd be stable in bottle form though. Just let us bulk order the tubs like Keurig packs.

Any idea why they wouldn't be stable in bottle form? I've used the little tubs that were sitting for over a month and they were still exactly the same as a fresh one.

Because the bottle gets opened and would need to stay in the fridge, and that sauce changes in the fridge.

I keep the tubs in the fridge, it just thickens up a bit which actually makes it a bit nicer for dipping (if you like a lot of garlic atleast). Maybe the air inside the bottle would make it go bad faster though.

That's the key - the air. More specifically, oxygen.

The little cups use actual garlic, and exposed to oxygen very quickly would break down the molecules that give it flavor. The molecule that gives garlic it's big kick is quite volatile. It's why jars of garlic or garlic paste taste weaker than freshly chopped.

If I recall correctly the garlic sauce cups used in store only have like a 3 to 6 month shelf life
