I was having a good day and then I remembered Emmett Cullen's giant Ziploc bag full of hard boiled eggs and now I am no longer having a good day

They/Them, trans/nonbinary Mainer in the godless south (New Hampshire). Trying to find levity in the face of *gestures broadly*. Very strong feelings about lighthouses.

Thai Kitchen: We only bought this because we were in a pinch and it's what was available. Label is bland, designed to not frighten white people. Dasher top dispenses well for use in savory cocktails. Smell is uncomplicated. Bright, fishy, slightly musty.
(Beneath is a picture of the bottle, small w/ dasher top, Thai Kitchen branding in generic Chinese food font.)

Dark amber color, does not coat glass. Taste is aggressive, slightly bitter, astringent anchovy taste, suitable for pasta sauce and large batch Bloody Marys for second-tier brunch guests.

Three Crabs Brand. Label is eye-catching, classic branding. Flag logo has Huy Fong rooster vibes. I can imagine it on a t-shirt at Urban Outfitters c. 2008. Pours semi-freely. Smell is sharp, iodine and mushrooms with a dark fruity undertone, like a blueberry with no sweetness.
Image is a bottle of fish sauce, label is as described, red and white gradient with a flag: three green crabs on a white field.

Coats glass thinly, maple syrup coloration. Smooth texture coats the tongue. Savory and faintly sweet, you don't taste salt so much as feel it. A welcome sneaky addition to just about anything, like Angostura bitters.

Squid Brand. Label is a retro icon. If the Three Crabs logo is on a 2008 hipster's shirt the Squid Brand logo is framed on their kitchen's exposed brick wall. Dasher top on a bottle this size is a bit ungainly. Bright amber color. Thin syrupy coating on glass.
Photo is as described, large glass bottle with green and white label, stylized font reading "Squid Brand" with a simplified image of a dried squid

Smell is complex: cheesy, fishy, notes of PB&J and socks, like the contents of the bottom of Davy Jones's locker. Almost a vinegary tartness, notes of peanuts, honey, and bright fishy undertone.
