In Thailand, I like to eat Sriracha sauce. The type I get at the supermarket, it's been manufactured in the US by Vietnamese immigrants, and then imported to Thailand, but of course Sriracha (ศรีราชา) is actually a place in Thailand (and the ultimate origin of the sauce, where it was created by _Burmese_ immigrants), so quite how I'm ending up eating American-Thai Burmese sauce via Vietnam in Thailand I'm hoping will give future archeologists food for thought.

Not to mention that the pepper is originally from Mexico

Sriracha sauce in Thailand has nothing in common with the American version beyond name. They don’t remotely taste the same

Similar to how Red Bull in Thailand and Red Bull in the west taste completely different?

Red Bull in Thailand and in the west come from the same origin, Chaleo Yoovidhya, the Red Bull founder.

The west Sriracha was developed by a Vietnam immigrant. You can see his recipe as one of many available Sriracha variants at that time.
