    Hot packing sauce in plastic squeeze bottles

      I looked into 5oz PET woozy bottles so I can sell them on Amazon again, since they blocked glass bottles over 4oz now.  Endorphin Farms indicated that I would have to reformulate Cinder (and Stoke) to be shelf stable in a PET bottle... plus a new PA letter.

      aha! good eye!   here's the thinking behind what it was: 1) two person sampling setup, barrier between me and pther worker 2) sunny day, wanted shiny glittery things as a lure 3) wanted a symmetrical setup 4) was a $150 sign board i got from Coldstone Creamery when they went out of business...

    misc My booth setup, table and displays

    Because the unit was new, and I took before pictures (hint hint, always take pics of the setup AFTER setup and before the show... something a friend told me to do for a C-Y-A thing)... they saw I had the plates on, and we settled on a fair price, after I told them I had a $500 deductible.  Now...

    bottles-jars Putting a recipe on a bbq sauce bottle, tacky or good idea?

    What about those labels that let you peel them off with the recipe on the back?   I'm sure they are more expensive though.

      What kind of service would that require though?  Wouldn't that require an active texting campaign?

    When I had my tablecloth printed for me, I was told "what's hot" is to put the icons for Facebook, Twitter and Instigram so people see them and search for you.   I was told "what's not" was putting your web address or QR codes out.  They said QR codes are not as popular, and no one is going to...

    bottles-jars Putting a recipe on a bbq sauce bottle, tacky or good idea?

    I agree, but I'd have to use a recipe that most people would have access too.  I personally only see barbecue as smoked and pulled, my neighbors call the chicken legs they throw on the grill BBQ, haha.   I could use an oven method as well.  But with a slow cooker:   4 Lb. Pork shoulder (picnic...

    Our 3rd product line will be a Bavarian influenced, mustard based BBQ sauce (mustard/habanero) with a medium heat at max.   This bottle I chose was the exact same height as the 5oz woozy bottle, but fatter.  Same look, but wider.  It's called a Stout bottle, and apparently are only made twice a...

    You know what Grinds my Gears!?!? (in the food biz)

      Depending on the car you get, if it's a unique car you're after (muscle car, sports car, etc) you will have already researched these stats.  Chances are you know more than the dealer or salesman does about the car anyway.   But if you're looking for something specific, you may inquire about...
