'Presents...' is gone.... the whole idea was a poor white man's take of how Spike Lee puts, 'A Spike Lee Joint', before all the titles of his movies.....never did look right in the presentation and execution...I think GCSC looks better standing on it's own....
Not sure I follow on the...
My designer and I have a date on Skype tonight...I think I have a way to take elements of what I like with the old and new and put them together...i'm not rushing it this time.....the goal is to have 'something' by the nyc fest, which is approx. 4 weeks away...to be continued.
I never really 'loved' the banner that we used on the current label. Same for the fonts.
At this stage, i don't know why I allowed myself to roll with it. Probably due to a time issue and I just had to roll and get'er done.
And at this point, and hundreds of different variations of the label...
I'm gonna ask her to throw the 'new' layout over the off white label with the distressed lines....
this was more all about adding the barcode and verticalizing (i made that word up) the right panel, and we just continued on....
I'll lay em both out in the next day or so....
In essence, how i had it separated on my current label, is a more ideal 'placement'...or should i figure out a way to work it into the romance panel text and remove from the center all together...
Ann,
I am humbled and appreciate every second/minute of thought you spend sharing your experience and knowledge in regards to my labels or whatever question I bring to the table. Same to Lucky Dog Scott , THP, and anyone else who has contributed their well intended expressions of support...
Thank you!
The 'red wine' descriptor actually came from customers doing taste testing themselves....That seemed to be alot of the description of the sweet aspect of the sauce before the heat kicked in, so I ran with it...but i hear what you're saying, and i think i like your descriptor...
Ok, it is time to do a new run of labels, and I decided to fix/update some of the things I decided not to do last time around...The overall overwhelming interest I have received from local stores and online shops had me take the plunge and add a barcode to each label.....I don't know why I...
Farmers markets that won't allow me to be a vendor because my product is manufactured out of state, while they let people sell stuff that is obviously made in their home kitchen and probably not FDA deemed safe....
Figured that may be where the confusion lied.
I don't heavily promote the sauce outside of some of the conventions I do, as this is not one of my main sauces. Ari's job is being 'First Jason', so he will obviously sell for more and he does very very very well with the sauce. I try not to...
We put out the sauce with Ari. Actually hung out with him this weekend @ Monster Mania in Cherry Hill, NJ
It's his thing, but we sell it via our website as well...and we give 13% of the proceeds to charity.

On my table, I have a empty plastic bottle of milk (filled with baking powder) with a sign that says, 'Cold Milk - $500'
8 out of 10 people who pass or approach my table, give a nice chuckle as they get the joke, and its a conversation starter.
1 of out 10, who ask me why the...
I like to think I am a decent 'eye' for people, and I treat them how they treat me. There is no place in the world that I am happier then when I am at a show selling sauce. I love the interaction, and I still get a tingle when someone tries a sauce and likes it, even if they don't buy at that...
It was more of an observation of the kids who are asking me , more than anything...
To me, if you already know the term 'Scoville' and can make an assessment on the heat level of the sauce, based on whatever #'s i throw back at you, then I think that these people already have a clear...
