$50.00 Chip Challenge ???

It's called marketing.
 
McDonald's purposelessly does it with the McRib.
Tabasco purposely did it with the Scorpion sauce.
 
If it was readily available at Wal-mart would it have the same impact?
 
How is failing to produce a product on a continuous basis considered marketing. I call it DROPPING THE BALL. or FUMBLING. there is obviously a market out there for a product they are no longer making or profiting from.
 
Who needs to buy the hottest chip when I can make my own.

Reaper powder + Doritos = the hottest chip

Paqui ghost pepper chips are my absolute favorite bagged chips. I usually add the some of the bum's frutegum powder to make them out of this world.

Like sunchips bbq flavor. Hopefully they bring that one back someday. I'd pay serious $$$$ for a bag of those.

It creates demand and social media buzz. As is evident in your actual post.

Aka limited edition
Aka vintner's reserve
Aka special edition
Aka....you get the idea....
 
Well my friends, it didn't work. I never bought any of the aforementioned products and am less likely to now.
I would have bought a bottle of Tabasco scorpion sauce, but they ran out. And now I am no longer interested so that marketing scheme if it really was one failed and actually cost them a sale.
 
Yes, It may be only one person and or one sale. But it is also no loss to me.   In the end game, I think I win cause I didn't play.

think i might have actually salivated a little when i read this  :drooling:
i havent grown Bum's Frutegum, but i have grown MOJO's and it is fantastic when you get a phenotype that actually sets fruit with any size to them.
i'm going to try again, along with growing the Tab x Bbg from 96strat originally from Annie if i remember correctly, next year will have lots of variations of Bbg crosses in my grow  :dance:

The bum was kind enough to send me a care package last year. His frutegum has the most alluring scent and sharp pungent black pepper-like burn. If only I had a picture to show you. He wrote "grind me, smell me, love me" on the bag.
