The viral pink goop that had the internet feeling saucy can now be found at Walmarts across the country, including here in Southern California. From now until July, fans and foes of the sauce alike can find it on shelves at Walmart locations in South Gate, Compton, Hawthorne, Torrance, Irvine, Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Rosemead, Pico Rivera and Downey.
Private chef and Miami-based creator Chef Pii (@chef.pii), whose real name is Veronica Shaw, went viral last summer on Twitter, TikTok and Instagram after introducing her sauce to the public. While the blush-colored condiment sold out within days, Pii received backlash from some customers who reported unfulfilled orders, inconsistencies in color and questions about ingredients and labeling.
“I wanted a unique sauce. I wanted something that tasted like nothing else, but also to have a natural bright color, and I was able to accomplish that. And, you know, I believe that’s why the world became so curious about the product,” Pii said in an interview Wednesday. “Pii” is a shortened version of her childhood nickname — you guessed it — Piink.
