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.
Example:
-
Lethal Weapon is the Sweet Baby Ray’s of the action movie genre.
-

-
Cargo Shorts are the Sweet Baby Ray’s of men’s summer wear.
