the first time i was in mexico, acapulco 1974, a woman used to sell corn at night, around 7:00 PM. she had it in a basket, sold it right by the ocean.. she'd take a piece of lime, dip it in hot sauce and rub it over the cob. really delicious. i too have topped corn like this. lime and frank's hot sauce. however, frank's is a bit too hot. maybe i'll dilute it next time with water? the regular frank's really heats up the lips.

Wouldn't water make the sauce too watery? But I don't have any suggestions with
what to use to calm down the heat of the sauce. Is Texas Pete hot sauce overly
hot?

The original Texas Pete is way hotter than Frank's but they do
sell many variations now. I always buy Franks. I don't think it's
too hot. Never tried it on corn though. I would try maybe mixing
a bit of sour cream with the Franks, not much. The dairy will
calm down the heat. Don't know if that's good, just a thought.

peppers, vinegar, salt, xanthan gum, benzoate of soda.

Yay, xanthan gum! Nobody leaves the house without xanthan gum! And
benzoate of soda sounds like something that's always been missing in
my life!
