This is a company in Texas, USA that has an interesting line of hot sauces.

They're a reseller and retailer. You can find them much cheaper
by either going to the source, or ordering from a company that
doesn't have a $4,000/mo lease for their store on Austin's
[in]famous 6th Street. Everything in that store I can find for
almost half the price elsewhere in Austin. Then add shipping...

I found this site interesting. I like this part best

"Peppers Like Each Other
A unique characteristic of the chile pepper plant is that they all cross-
breed with each other. For example, if a jalapeno plant is put next to a
habanero plant, the offspring can have attributes of each plant (such as a
super hot jalapeno or a mild habanero). The ease of cross-breeding is
reliant upon the species of plants, however."

Steve, I can find whatever sauces I want in plain old St. Louis. However I
did learn something from the site. A big plus for me 😉

If you want some hot sauce you should get endorphine rush. A thimbol of
that [censored] on a cracker made me lose taste for a week and dry heave for
an hour.

I have not seriously looked into online food shopping until the
discussion on hot sauces. Thanks to everyone who has replied with their
favourites. I watched a show a couple of nights ago that focused on
different mail order foods. Seeing the fresh lobster delivered right to
your door had me hooked. Well, after doing a little research, I am in
the market to shop! I'm amazed at what is available either through
catelogues or online. I think I'll start with cheeses and hot sauces.

What is the difference?
If you are saying they do not bottle THEIR product line. INCORRECT.

They are the source of THEIR line.

You know the details of their lease? You made that number up, but $4K is
chump change for a good commercial location in most metropolitan areas.

Everything..almost half price?? You made that up also.

Correct..Online stores (subject of discussion) usually charge shipping.

They have 3 hot sauces not even worth mentioning. You were
recommending them as a mail-order source, not specifically their
own hot sauces (if that's what you meant, then you should have
said that, because they have 130+ hot sauces listed there and
those 3 are not very obvious).

Quoted message said:

Well, then you should have mentioned those particular 3 out of the
130+ other ones they list on the site.

Quoted message said:

Yes, I do. I happen to know all the leases of the surrounding
businesses, too.

Quoted message said:

No I didn't.

The place does practically 0 walk-in business. I've never seen
*anybody* in the shop except for me. And I work less than 300
yards away.

<yawn> Yeah, half-price. You should invest all that pent-up
soapboxing in something other than RFC. Have you considered
becoming a religious fanatic?

I emailed your post to them. We'll see what they say. In the mean time
you are still a catfish.

<boggle> Why would you possibly do that?

What did you ask them? How much rent they pay?

Uh, okey-dokey, you... you... you... BIRD! Take THAT!

How strange.
