Rather than using the current image of the US manufacturer Huy Fong Foods' bottle with the trademarked logo redacted might it be preferable to use an unredacted image of another brand? Perhaps of southeast Asian origin such as: Siracha_sauce.jpg --Kevjonesin (talk) 13:46, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

The use of the name in US English is petty much only associated with that brand. Notice also the difference in spelling. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:36, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Pronunciation

I don't think that the second pronunciation is possible in English; there would have to be secondary stresses on all the unstressed syllables for the "father" vowel quality to be possible, otherwise the vowels would be schwas. The first one seems fine, but it would have a length sign on the "a" in the generally accepted transcription of RP, albeit not of GA.--94.155.68.202 16:26, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

In British English, it's the midde ɑ that needs lengthening: səˈrɑːtʃɑ/ or /siːˈrɑːtʃɑ/ (though the OED has səˈrɑːtʃɑː/ and /ˈsiːˌrɑːtʃɑː/

There seems to be a lot of variations. Should we ,ention them all? Dbfirs 13:06, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
