I was going to type the exact same thing. My walmart only had the original. I had to taste in once I got home. It's legit! I likely have three or four Cajun seasonings in my spice cabinet. I have tried other brands as well. There is only one brand that I think had a bit more POW factor without being bitter and they quit making it or I can't find it. It's been so long now that I don't recall the maker or even for certain where I bought it. Slap Ya Mama will be my go to going forward.
