Everything You Need To Know About The Pink Sauce That TikTok Is Fascinated By
The odds are that you have heard of the new “pink sauce” trend. In fact, #pinksauce already has over 140 million views on TikTok. But, where did it come from, and what is in it?
Well, a TikToker that goes by the name of Chef Pii invented the Pepto Bismol-looking sauce and began sharing it on the platform last month.
Before creating the condiment, Pii reportedly was struggling with juggling her responsibilities as a mother, full-time college student, and chef.
In fact, Pii shared how one month, she was visiting the emergency room almost daily after suffering from recurrent panic attacks.
She did not want to use medications to curb her anxiety, though. So, Pii turned to dragon fruit– which is known for easing anxiety due to its high magnesium content.
Then, the idea for a “pink sauce” made of dragon fruit was born, and Pii launched her now-viral business.
Aside from the fruit, the sauce also contains sunflower seed oil, white vinegar, lemon juice, milk, citric acid, raw honey, dried chili, garlic, and salt.
And since publicizing it online, the TikTok community has gone bonkers over the sauce. But, Pii has also been fighting fires regarding concerns about the sauce’s appearance, taste, and inadequate nutrition fact labeling.

First, many consumers of the condiment pointed out how the sauce’s nutrition facts were far from accurate.
“There are so many errors on this nutritional label,” wrote one user. “It says 444 servings, which is 14.4 grams.”
“That makes almost 6,300-something grams in the whole bottle, which is inaccurate.”
“And if these small details were overlooked, I am looking at quality control now. I am kind of scared.”
The TikToker claimed the error was a graphic design slip-up and plans to fix the mistake before her next sauce batch launches.
Nonetheless, other followers began voicing concerns over consistency– particularly how every bottle of pink sauce has a different hue and how Pii cannot accurately describe the taste for potential buyers.
Plus, other customers were reportedly delivered pink drippy messes after the bottles exploded during transit.
Pi has issued those customers refunds and claims to have switched from USPS to UPS for her delivery services.
In regards to the other allegations, though, Pii is asking that her followers be patient.
“You know, I cannot respond to each and every person because– at the end of the day– it’s a brand,” Pii said.
“I don’t want people to feel like I don’t care because I am not responding. I’m not responding because I am fixing the problem.”
What do you think? Are you willing to try the sauce, or is this a fad that has to go?
