Wildfire Chilli Australia

Wildfire Chilli Australia

A little while ago whilst eating dinner with the family and eating a certain product, we came up with an idea that it would be nice to add a chilli twist to it. Since I have been flat out and just had another baby I was obviously in no rush to develop it too much yet. It is something that hasn't really been done before but I have just found out that another chilli company close by has just made it too. They only sell one type of product and it is another addition to what they sell.

Would it be bad/immoral/waste of time to do it as well? It's a great idea and I think it would do really well but I also don't want to be seen as "copying" them since they have brought it out first. Then again, most products have more than one company make it (how many Bhut Jolokia sauces are out there?) What are your thoughts?

Yes I agree with everything of what you are saying Ann.

This idea I had I haven't even tried the competitors product, just seen that they had it sometime later and that the ingredient list was very short. I would never sit down and taste test to try to create the same product as someone else, in fact if anything I would make mine first and if I happened to come across theirs afterwards then I would try it.
It really doesn't matter anymore as I'm not going ahead with it anyway so I will let this matter rest.

Thank you for your back up Ann, i'm glad you can see what sort of person I am and would not intentionally go out of my way to do something immoral or to discredit another business.

My advice, based on personal experience is that "trends" influence how creative people think about sauces and other things,
we all are trying to fix the "problems" or fill the voids that we see, so sometimes other people are thinking the same as
you and come to the same conclusions. However if you keep your cards close to your chest and don't talk about your ideas,
especially to other people with a passion or a interest in what your doing until you come out with it, there is less chance
of unintentional inspiration, or outright copying of your ideas.
