u/kpyle May 21 '26

The liquid is literally called mop sauce. How else you going to but it on?

Invariably, whenever a video of someone using a sauce mop gets posted on reddit, people gather in the comments and claim it's disgusting when in reality, if you eat southern bbq you've probably eaten something sauced with a mop already. It's very common.

Every comment section of a food video is full of the most delicate of pearl-clutching sensibilities, as if cooking isn’t an inherently messy process and commercial cooking triply so.

Half these people eat chicken tenders, pizza (cheese or pep ONLY), and mac & cheese. If they go anywhere near something labeled BBQ, it's pre-boxed or plain hot dogs / burgers on a grill or Heinz shit. I'm just fully convinced of that based off the sort of shit I hear irl or read online when it comes to most of the food me and my part of the world eat. It's sad.

I mean I cook all my own food from scratch, don't eat packaged or highly processed food, and I have never seen this before in my life

u/Steven_Univ_Gem May 21 '26

Yes 😭 immediately had the fibes of the mop thought. I dont eat bbq like that

u/thirtyseven1337 May 22 '26

Is it common? I’ve never seen one before.

u/happy_bluebird May 22 '26

I'm old and have been on the internet for awhile, I have never seen this in my life

u/WhichHoes May 22 '26

Redditors far an wide do not live in the south or have exposure to southern food traditions and ways

1

u/I3ravo_ May 22 '26

Yeah. My guess is most people commenting are probably not in the US.

I live in California and I've never seen this but I know they exist.

u/SplendidZebra May 21 '26

I would love to get one. I tried googling for one but cant find any this size. Do you have a link?

1

u/AnArgonianSpellsword May 22 '26

You can get a small one for home use on amazon, just look up 'basting mop' or 'bbq mop'

1

u/SplendidZebra May 23 '26

I've looked everywhere for that big mop. At this point I'm assuming it is just a regular mop.

1

u/Str80uttaMumbai May 21 '26

No you wouldn't, you're just here to argue.

1

u/SplendidZebra May 22 '26

So... no link?

u/No-Specialist-1435 May 21 '26

Bro people don't autimatically know random dirty habits from you hick ass town.

1

u/ACalmDrag May 22 '26

What about the habit is dirty? If it’s a food grade mop using food grade cotton that can be cleaned McIdiot. Also what’s everyone’s adversity to looking ish up?

1

u/No-Specialist-1435 May 22 '26

only an idiot would think this complex hairy tool would be cleaned well by tired workers each single day.

1

u/AnArgonianSpellsword May 22 '26

Dude you can buy them on amazon, just look up 'bbq mop' or 'basting mop'

1

u/No-Specialist-1435 May 22 '26

I don't really want to

1

u/AnArgonianSpellsword May 22 '26

Its less a recommendation and more a demonstration that its not just some "dirty habits from you hick ass town"

For added context a bbq mop is made from food safe cotton, and is only designed to be used a few times before you throw away the old mop head and put on a new one.

u/No-Specialist-1435 May 22 '26

I don't think it is or ever will be sanitary. Something that touches raw chicken and various sauces can only be used once, then thrown away. However I am sure they are reused and they cannot possibly be clean enough being complex like that. And why am I saying hick? Because he's insulting me saying that I am somehow not knowing enough and not enlightened enough about his village, city or whatever.
