January 22 brings us not one but two food celebrations sitting at opposite ends of the flavour spectrum — the fiery and the sweet, the bold and the buttery, the “my mouth is on fire” and the “I need another square immediately.”
First up: National Hot Sauce Day. For the spice‑obsessed, this is basically a national holiday. Hot sauce lovers will put the stuff on anything — eggs, sandwiches, pizza, steak, popcorn, you name it. Every culture has its own take, from smoky chipotle to vinegary Louisiana heat to blistering Caribbean blends. If you’re someone who travels with a bottle in your bag, today is your Super Bowl.
And then there’s National Blonde Brownie Day — a complete 180° from the Scoville scale. Blondies ditch the cocoa and lean into brown sugar, giving them that warm, rich, butterscotch flavour that makes them dangerously addictive. They’re thicker than cookies, softer than cake, and absolutely perfect warmed up with ice cream. When chocolate feels too heavy, a blondie steps in like a golden‑haired hero.
Two celebrations. Zero wrong choices. Maybe even a spicy‑sweet combo if you’re feeling adventurous.
Before you decide whether today’s mood is “hot sauce on everything” or “blondies for breakfast,” here’s your Tillsonburg fuel update:

So whether you’re heating things up or keeping it sweet, make sure your tank is full — because running out of gas is one flavour nobody enjoys.
