When written hot sauce reviews are not enough
We love seeing new hot and spicy food blogs, since it helps the community as a whole by giving everyone an outlet for whatever viewpoint on the Internet you want to follow. So, here’s the scoop…
HotSauce.com is an online retailer of hot sauces that has been around for quite some time. Rather than create a traditional written blog, they opted to make a video blog where you can see a guy named Gabriel try various hot sauces and give his opinion about them. There’s not a huge number of them yet, but the few they have are worth watching if only for entertainment value. Check out:
Nice site which we hope doesn’t wither and just fade away.

I don’t think it will last if he LOVES every sauce he reviews! not very interesting to hear….”Oh, that’s good” for every review.

I agree with thakswet. He can’t be afraid to piss off the occasional sauce manufacturer.

He wants $249 “PLUS” 2 cases of product to do the review. I smell a rat. Nobody needs 2 cases of product for review. unless you plan on a “Rosey” review and sell right afterwords. At a 100% profit.
No Thanks

It looks like they’ve taken everything down on the website. That coupled with “$249 “PLUS” 2 cases of product to do the review” spells zero credibility for me.
I’m definitely thankful for what you guys are doing here. Still bummed about the all-but demise of HSB.

Wow, when I posted this link I actually had not gone so far into the videos to realize that they were fishing (or is it phishing?) for a big bundle of cash AND a couple cases of hot sauce to do the review. That’s just blatantly absurd, and that’s the nicest thing I can say about that. Anyone who charges money to do reviews ought to have their head examined, because there are a plethora of sites that do it for free…so why pay someone to do and say “that’s good” a whole bunch.
Ri-damn-diculous.

Whoa! Way to annoy a bunch of chilliheads!
Send me one bottle of your hot sauce and keep the $249 and I’ll tell you “that’s good” as long as it’s hot.
Ain’t I sweet?

So this was related to hotsauce.com and therefore thehotpepper.com?
Thats a downer. Oops.
At least they had the sense to pull it down.

It never ceases to amaze me what some people will do to squeeze money out of people in this industry, particularly with some of these websites. Selling products is legit, but some of these other options are laughable.
