Sweet Baby Ray's

America's best-seller. 220 million bottles. Born at a rib cook-off.

Sweet Baby Ray's is the best-selling barbecue sauce in America, with 220 million bottles sold annually, a testament to its unapologetically sweet and thick formula. Conceived by Chicago's Larry Raymond in 1985, it’s 50% sweeter than the typical homemade sauce, making it a crowd-pleaser that snobs dismiss but families devour. It underperforms Blues Hog in competition-grade caramelization, but at $2.99 per bottle, it's 40% cheaper than the grocery store median, driving its universal appeal.
