The Baby That’s Hot! Gourmet Hot Sauce “Hot Sauce Haiku” contest!
For some reason I have a strange fascination with haikus. So, what better subject about which to wax poetic than the food of the gods, namely hot sauce? I have decided to create this contest to solicit some poetry out of YOU!
Here’s the deal:
-Click the link below, fill out the form with as much information as you like. I need enough info from you to let you know if you have won the contest.
-In the text area provided, give me your bestest attempt at a Haiku based on hot sauce.
-In one month, I will decide on 10 of what I consider to be the best/funniest/most offensive/whatever whim I have at that moment, and I will put them on the site.
-I will open these 10 Haikus to public vote, one vote per person.
-After 1 week of voting, I will tally the votes and notify the winner (that’s the person who made the haiku that gets the most votes.) -The winner will get a Baby That’s Hot! T-Shirt, and a jar of the featured flavor for the month of October (it’s still a secret…)
Not sure what those pesky rules are for a haiku? When I say Haiku, I mean the most simple version of it. Three lines of verse, the first containing 5 syllables, the second 7 syllables, and the third 5 again. There are actually a ton more rules to true Haiku, but we will just restrict it to the simple ones of 17 syllables on 3 lines of 5 - 7 - 5. OK?
Here is an example from the movie Fight Club:
Worker bees can leave
Even drones can fly away
The queen is their slave
Get it? Now it’s your turn. More rules and instructions on the contest page.

Very nice.
Mad props for being the first to use the word “capsaicin” with the right number of syllables…

thanks mike,
Score one for the Kentucky public school system.
The Red Savina
and the Yellow Fatalii
Talon is extreme
Sorry but were did this product line come from. I guess thats what happens when you don’t make it to all the hot sauce shows you get left behind in the smoke.
Can we do limirics (however you spell that) next month? ![]()

LOVE the idea. Believe it or not my obsession with Haikus started one thanksgiving long ago with a Turkey limerick I wrote:
There once was a Turkey in Turkey
Who once lived in Turkmenistan
He was heard to have said
As they chopped off his head
“I thought I’d end up in Iran!”
Obviously stupid, but that led to turkey haikus, hence the obsession.

Everytime I am asked the answer gets closer to yes. Only as a spectator if I do, but right now I am saying (unfortunately) not. I saw the list of HSBers. Looks like a… interesting… yes, interesting… bunch.

Interesting is being kind!
Hope we can change your mind, the more the merrier!

Could it be that there is someone who doesn’t know of Mad?
