Most mustards/catsups/hotsauces etc. don't need to be refridgerated at all... despite what it may say on the package. The high acidity of the food keeps it from growing things. The same is true of pancake syrup (not acid, tho -- it's the sugar content).

Most people just keep this stuff in the fridge because -- what the hey, it can't hurt.

Go ahead, bring hot sauce with you. My personal favorite is Frank's Red Hot... Yum...

I think I'm going to make myself an egg sandwich with redhot. Now that's a breakfast that'll wake you up!

PS: Try this: Onion bagle, toasted, spread with peanut butter, drizzled with redhot and sprinkled with Penzy's sate seasoning (curry powder-like stuff). In my SO's words, "Woah, that's really strange. Can I have a taste?"
