I think I already answered that. I am trying to understand how it works so I can do much the same. Same reason I was so interested in The Last Dab and other hot merchandise by The Hot Ones. Absolutely amazing. Used to be you produced a product, sent money to advertise it, and then crossed your fingers. Now, you make money off the advertising itself. So now there is a chip that sells on ebay for fifty bucks a pop. People advertise it for free with their youtube videos. When it is back in stock, people buying it for five bucks a chip will be all like: Cool, now I can buy it for a reasonable price. Again: Amazing!
You want to know what's going to happen, Paqui will come with yet another one chip challenge at a later date. These dopes in the inter web will do the same. They were just test the market. With the whole new craze of organic this and gluten free that this millenials need to entertain themselves with something other than their miserable a live. I say grow some TRS, or CRS, pepper dry them make it a powder and put on some plain Tostitos and see if you out do Paqui. Heck yeah you will. But the pussy cats with their safe space can even grow a nose hair properly .
Anyway my two cents.

Scorpion sauce is back u missed the black friday sale
but 30% off right now https://countrystore.tabasco.com/TABASCOsupreg_sup-Scorpion-Sauce/productinfo/03132/Paqui did a one chip challenge it was not product for selling in a bag, it went viral and got their name out, as was the plan. So yes it worked. Maybe it will return, but these challenges are fads, the one chip can't be around forever, a new one will prob need to be even hotter.

Not sure... but
The person here who I see this working for is the maker of Pure Evil. It needs a good challenge attached, and to be sent to an influencer so it can be copycatted x times over by all the idiots.

The power of hashtags is pretty amazing.
Like I said, no longer interested. I was on their site from midnight till 1 am to make the purchase on the first availability which never happened. By the time I g otnhhome that day it was sold out. I make a valiant 1st attempt at offerings and then pffft.The Hot Pepper said:

I don't like Tabasco, never went to order. The Chipotle is okay, but so many better makers on here.
I wonder if maybe you don't like the Tabasco sauce style but you might like the pepper itself or the pepper in another style? Since coming home from the Army and having access to a fridge, I havent been much on the traditional higher acid thin hot sauces. Found this place, found some of its sauce makers, and now I am not even much for the so called artisan sauces at the grocery stores.The Hot Pepper said:

In full commercial settings, Scorpion seems to have gone the way of the Ghost pepper. The name seems to have become almost generic. Have purchased so called ghost peppers at Krogers just to see if they tasted as habanero as they looked. Sure enough, they tasted habanero.
Thing is, I am not so sure it is a bad thing that big commerce is acting this way. It lets folk like the saucers here at THP better able to compete by offering such a superior product. Would plug a few but I dont want to miss someone.
The one chip challenge is no than a novelty to me. It is something I would probably gift that smart ass employee, vendor or colleague knowing full and well they will video tape it, post it, so I can laugh at them. Great marketing absolutely, a consumer product not on your life. Longevity... zero.
