A day care doing it, I'd be a lot upset (unless it was approved first). Me and my wife, that's another story. I works. We have used it several times, when soap didn't. Just the thought of HOT sauce, would make our children dread a punishment. I think we only used this once or twice (actual hot sauce on the tonge), and that was plenty. One actually liked the hot sauce so that was out.
There isn't one best punishment that will work for everyone. But unless you are a parent yourself, you can't judge what others do. If you promise to punish, you must follow through, period. A threat to punish, whether time out, swat on the butt, does nothing if not carried out.
