I saw on facebook today that HotLicks hot sauce is shutting down their store in Old Town SD because the state park has forbidden them from selling certain hot sauces (some blairs, marie sharps, da bomb).
Here is the link: https://hotlickssauces.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/the-state-of-california-is-preventing-hot-sauce-to-be-sold-after-6-years-hot-licks-sauces-will-closing-the-doors-at-the-old-town-san-diego-location/
As a fellow hot sauce shop owner, this just seems ludicrous. I assume it has to do with being in a state park, but I really don't get it. I've been selling crazy hot sauce for a few years now, and I haven't had any issues. Plus, some of the sauces the state wouldn't allow them to sell aren't even that hot, like Pain 85%. Seems like they were just going by label or something.
Anyone have any idea what's up with this?
