Here's a little poll for you...

Okay I fixed that, but really, who would do that?chilehunter said:the 2nd to last choice makes it seem like you dont consume the hot sauce since its not worded that way "I only collect or display empty hot sauce bottles" instead of "I only collect or display empty hot sauce bottles that I've consumed"

PS. Your wording makes it sound like you eat the bottle, and I don't want to see that bottle displayed
thehotpepper.com said:Interesting results so far! It seems we are a forum that loves to eat the stuff and not stare at it... go figure . No disrepect to collectors. It's definitley good for the industry, and I imagine it can be profitable. But if I had a collector's bottle on my shelf I'd be thinking "man that sauce needs to be on my plate!"

TAKE THEM OUT AND PLAY WITH THEM heheh.
Wait, wait, wait... at a sauce manufacturer you would like people to not eat your sauces? sure ZERO took a lot of effort and creativity, but the idea of sauces is eating them. if it's so great, wouldn't you like people to enjoy it?DEFCON Creator said:Not sure I agree with that. Many manufacturers come out with collectible bottles, which a lot of time and effort has been put into. To open these vessels basically destroys the coolness of the item. Not to mention there is quite a large market in collectible bottles, even if you don't always see them on Ebay. Hell, our first ZERO release (the Batch #1), which came out a few short years ago, is now going for over $500 in private auctions. I made my $25 when I sold it, but it's really cool to see this kind of thing happen.
I can't speak for everyone, but we put a TON of creativity into our ZERO collectibles, and kind of pride ourselves on being able to make everyone's "Shelf of Doom" look that much better. Virtually everyone collects something, so to call it stupid or juvenile, really isn't cool. Perhaps you collect baseball cards, to me, there just worthless pieces of thick stock paper.
No sarcasm. it's a sauce. sure it has a nice bottle, but it's a sauce! saving the bottle and not eating the actual sauce is two different things.DEFCON Creator said:"if it's so great, wouldn't you like people to enjoy it?"
We put out the 1/2 ounce non-collectors bottles as well. What's with the sarcasm?
