The sriracha sauce is still listed on Wendy's website, and can be added to Uber Eats orders, but dozens of Wendy's diners took to social media to complain that there was none available in restaurants. Some said that they would no longer eat at the chain.

"The sriracha was the only reason why I went," one Reddit user said.

Fans' opinions are split on the new ghost pepper ranch sauce. Many said they love the spiciness, while others said that it didn't taste as good as the sriracha sauce.
