That said- all their stuff TASTES good at least, versus say Da Bomb which is objectively not near as hot as Last Dab but tastes 1000x worse.
The actual hot ones branded sauces typically use natural ingredients- for example Last Dab XXX (the best tasting of the last dabs IMHO) has a list of Ingredients: Pepper X, chocolate pepper X, peach pepper X, distilled vinegar, ginger root, turmeric, coriander, cumin, dry mustard-- so they actually TASTE good.... (and all the ones in this pack apart from the final one have very very little heat compared to the last dab but still taste good)
Last Dab is a sauce you put on food to enjoy if you like a lot of heat.
Da Bomb is something you give enemies as a dare.
(for folks who want stuff nearer Da Bombs heat level but that has the outstandingly good taste of the Hot Ones stuff I'd suggest several of the Heartbreaking Dawn or Burns and McCoy sauces like Reapercussions, Devorandum, etc...)

They've hit their critical mass -- you can take your business elsewhere, and they're fine with it. They'll still rake in untold millions of profit per day.

Again for clarity- Da Bomb is less hot as measured (ie scoville units) than Last Dab... quite a bit less.
But yes the fact they're using chemical extracts is why it tastes so awful compared to more natural sauces and why SUBJECTIVELY it seems hotter.
Da Bomb is listed at ~135,000 scovilles. Last Dab is listed as >2 million. It's a pretty massive difference.
Traditionally Da Bomb is in slot 8 of 10, Last Dab in 10/10... and the 9th sauce is something in the 650k range (a bit less in most early seasons). Pretty complete list by season here.

Was fun anyways trying them with a group of friends over since everyone has different limits.
Personally I lost my taste buds living in New Mexico for years but Apollo made me sweat and lay down for close to an hour.. granted I smothered a slice of pizza with it.

It comes down to there being no option to even pickup at Costco so really it's a keen opportunity to upsell Plus memberships since it's a nice feature their main competitor doesn't offer.
It doesn't matter too much as Sam's Club memberships are free/money makers every year.
