The Offspring Hot Sauce
2009-01-29 by fireaboveicebelow | 16 Replies | 1177 Views

According to a report from the LA Times, the hot sauce launched by Dexter Holland of The Offspring has become quite a success. The sauce is being bottled at a rate of 300 gallons a month and is even being sold at Albertson's supermarkets in Southern California and Las Vegas.

Holland attributes the success to a more DIY, grassroots approach to the sauce:

"Growing up here I was always into Mexican food and culture, Day of the Dead, all of it, and one day I looked at a hot sauce bottle and wondered if I could do better, We took it to fire stations and electrical unions and gave it away. I leave it at beach bars in Huntington and Redondo. The best way is to get one person to taste it and then tell their friends. Ads don't sell hot sauce. Friends do."

If he didn't auto-tune he would be alone in his genre in that regard.This Message Edited On 01.29.09

I bought some of this awhile back, and it's actually pretty good. It's also the only hot sauce I've ever tried so who knows?

Why do we need proof? I thought this site was about making wild accusations, jumping to conclusions and making fools of ourselves.
I gotta get me some of this.
