Sweet Baby Ray’s Bar-B-Q sauce is a Bar-B-Q sauce made for
people who hate flavor. Consisting mainly of corn
syrup and
sugar, it’s a flavorless condiment that can be found anywhere food is an afterthought. At big
box retailers it’s on sale, most of the
time, since no one pays full price for generics. Its low-quality ingredients meet the barest standards to be considered an actual Bar-B-Q Sauce as opposed to gangrenous ketchup.
As a descriptive adjective, it is used to describe something rudimentary, basic, foundational, or elemental. Items referred to, or labeled as Sweet Baby Ray’s, usually consist of the least amount of components required to label something of that genre.
