“A single bottle of Hot Pepe’s ‘Over the Wall’ Hot Sauce retails for $9.95 online,” said the New Times‘ Jerry Iannelli. “The eponymous frog on the label is wearing fairly offensive, stereotypically Mexican accessories — a sombrero and thick black mustache — and holding a taco.”

Bernstein insists he’s not a racist and pointed to his Jewish background as proof that he’s not an anti-Semite. He said that he created the hot sauce to prove that the character Pepe is not a symbol of racial intolerance, but was intended to mock people with autism.

“He says the sauce was intended to be used on chicken tenders, in reference to the 4chan ‘chicken tendies’ meme,” wrote Iannelli, “wherein users write stories about an autistic, overweight character complaining about ‘normie’ people and demanding chicken ‘tendies.'”

“So it was originally intended to be a chicken-tendie sauce, like, you know, ‘These autistic kids go crazy about chicken tendies,'” Bernstein said. “So it’s a spicy tendie sauce. But it’s actually a very tasty hot sauce.”
