T-MINUS 16 DAYS UNTIL ZERO HOUR!!! Just a reminder that the next glorious release of our infamous DEFCON Defense Condition ZERO Batch #3 is a mere 16 days away! Many of you who own at least one of our previous releases, if not both, must be a bit curious as to what this one is going to look like. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed this go-around. We are looking to have approximately 50 of these available. The actual number hasn’t been established yet, as we haven’t completed our harvest of the ZERO elixir as of yet.
In addition to this, for the first time, due to popular demand, we are offering a VERY limited amount of ZERO in un-signed and un-numbered 1 ounce bottles. Over the last year, many have inquired about its’ taste, not wanting to open their collector bottle. I have heard your call, and am doing my best to answer it. Most individuals who do not live in the area have never met the DEFCON Crew or attended one of our DEFCON Days have never had a chance to taste the ZERO. We here at DEFCON HQ understand this, which is why the un-signed, un-numbered bottles will only be available on-line only, NOT at the Hillsborough show, so as to let those who live far away have the same chance at getting one.
As stated, this is a VERY limited amount of non-collector bottles, and we won’t know the exact number until a few days before the release. You will be given the information on how to secure one of these along with the collector bottle when they become available on-line on or about 9/10/-9/12.
If you’ve been to the website any time recently you know that the original unveiling of these little beauties will be at the Hillsborough Fire Dept, “No fire, just smoke” BBQ Competition Cook-off in Hillsborough, NJ on Woods Road on Saturday September 9th. After that, the remaining bottles (not sold at the Fire Dept event) will be available on-line on or about 9/10-9/12. An e-mail will be sent to those on this mailing list, and the first number of people to e-mail back, up to the number of bottles, will be given the opportunity to purchase one (ONE per person, so as to allow as many people as possible to own one).
This release is larger and completely different than ALL other releases, and will be a -glowing- addition to anyone’s collector shelf. I will release another reminder about a week before the release date. We here at DEFCON HQ wish you luck in the acquisition of one of our hand-crafted vessels of primordial happiness, and look forward to your continued interest in our products.
Also, while I have your attention. The new Supersized Defense Condition #1 in 8 ounce bottles should be available the beginning of September, and is 25% hotter!!!
And our habanero horseradish, the DEFCON Habby Horse should be available towards the middle of September!ARM YOURSELF WITH DEFCON, AND BLOW YOUR GUESTS AWAY!

Kick ass!!!! A very limited amount of non collector bottles. I bet that makes it more collectable than the numbered ones. 
J/K.
As previously stated, if you didn’t receive this e-mail a couple days ago, that means you are NOT on the list to get a Batch #3. If you want to get on the list, please e-mail me the address you want notified when these are released on-line.
Ok folks, some really good news from the DEFCON Research & Development Labs. Due to the tweaking of our harvesting procedures, it seems we will have over 60 Batch #3’s available, and over 30 un-signed un-numbered ones. I changed the latter to 1/2 ounce bottles, so as to get these into as many peoples hands as possible. They will be $15.
Another good tidbit of info is that this batch of ZERO came out a little hotter than the former 2 releases.
All in all, a pretty good day here at HQ. I need a beer…

Congrats you deserve a beer. Dont be sending that e-mail while we’re at ZF, i want a bottle of each

Man, after all the other collectibles have been gotten at Zest Fest, the Batch #3 is kind of like the present you found behind the tree 5 days after Christmas. (Major Hint).
If you haven’t seen the pics of it, they’re on the website.

If I don’t get one Creator, I’m kicking you off of the bus!
That’s the best leverage I got, sorry!

Where is the order form ?????????

Mr. Freeze, I have to sort thru the first 78 replies, THEN you get the order form. Not to worry.
Good morning all. Well, the results are still being tallied, and I should be able to get back to everyone by tomorrow (maybe even tonight if possible). It seems virtually everyone who ordered last night will get one. Also, if indeed there are any ZERO’s left over by the time I get home from work today, I may offer them up to you guys first. Many of you really wanted a second, as stated by your e-mails (glowing bookends would be kinda cool), I just wanted to see the initial onslaught of orders, to make sure everyone who wanted one got one. I dare say the un-signed, un-numbered ones are probably sold out already. I just haven’t had time to go through all the orders yet. Once again, myself and Maggie thank all of you for your interest in these little guys. They were made with a lot of pride and pain.

Thanks for the update Creator! I feel much better now! Just the 1 for me and an unsigned one and I’m good to go! So there’s one bookend to someone as a gift from me if it works out that way!
L8R G8R’s gotta get to work!

You have such a way with words Huv, you feel my pain, that’s so sweet. Like tugging at my heartstrings with a gaffing hook.
