Hot sauce label is finished, need feedback

Ok so I finished the label for my hot sauce. I had to change it from "weapons of ass destruction" due to the name already being used. So I changed it to "total rectal failure". Give me some feedback on the label.

Try to divide it a little bit more to make it more appealing and maybe use more color to light it up a bit. Interesting idea for sure, but too monotone looking imho. Include the indicator for how hot it is.... or something. I also agree with THP on the name, it might be funny to some degree, but wouldn't be better to call it something different, like "the melting death liquer" ... or "skull melter" :)
 
Needs punctuations.... after WARNING, between all the peppers,
 
 
 
I'm assuming this is a hobby sauce even though the edges look like some kind of professional graphics?  Seems like Sam & Oliver would post images from his designer with markings etc...
 
If it's a label for a legal sauce, it would need a lot of work.  Lots of things missing.  Even for a hobby sauce, I'd encourage you to list ingredients in descending order of predominance. 

thanks for sharing~
 
If you choose to keep the WARNING line, divide it up so there's not one word on the bottom line.
 
 
WARNING!  IT BURNS MORE
     ON THE WAY OUT.

I also agree that there are plenty of sauces referencing Ass-in-the-creek, I think there is a Rectal Reaper....:shrug: ....run with it if you like it~  :)
 
I have pretty much revamped the entire label. Did research on how food labels are made up... Kept the font but trying to come up with a different color scheme. Thinking up a different graphic for the background. I'm using Avery.com so the choices are limited. I may play around with Microsoft word. I'll post a new draft this evening... Thanks for all the feedback
 
From what's pictured I would like the label pic and sauce name font to be bigger and the ingredients to be smaller font.  Also while I understand the concept of 'this will fcuk up your pipes!' I tend to prefer or gravitate towards different types of names.  At this point hot sauces are kinda like beers - consumers are buying by the label so to speak - so I'd rather be a bit different instead of being one of fifty different 'ass destroyer' hot sauces.  
 
Looking better for the ingredients list. What iusvthis sauce about? Is it a prototype or your new hot sauce biz? Just for friends and family? That will help us help you.
 
its starting out as something for friends and family.  but now with the amount of coworkers i have on my facebook that has seen my 2016 pepper grow album and the few ppl at work know and have tried my hot sauce, word is starting to spread like wild fire.  ive been making this sauce for several years now.  each year it gets better and hotter
 
Novelty. At best.
 
Sauce makers putting out a good product, and that are proud of it, don't try to sell it with outrageous names and graphics but, informative labeling.
 
I wouldn't buy it. I see labels like that and I already know what it tastes like.
 
Please don't take this as being snarky, it's just my 2¢
