And, as is typical of most folks in this biz, he is one of the nicest people you’ll meet and very approachable.

Sweeeeeet!! Daves here.

It’s good to hear from Dave, when we began collecting he was the first manufacturer we really focused in on and went after all his sauces. We’ve had a Reserve in the wood box since the beginning and it’s always drawn attention from anyone who sees it. Hopefully Dave will come around and post sometimes- it would be great to pick his brain and get some insight on his products and future projects.

Great interview!

yeah, very interestig interview!
I had no idea the creator of those hot nuts was such a veteran in the hot sauce business.

I think he chose an appropriate name Insanity this guy is a hoot, I hope he does come around just to post a few words, maybe we can get him addicted and voila he is all ours to pick his brain like we do CaJohn that would be sweet!

Dave’s is one of the first non mass marketed hot sauces I tried a long time ago! Man I thought I was going to die! It is good to hear from Dave. Awesome interview

Thank goodness, and I thought I was the only one who liked hot sauce on top of icecream. HAHA go dave, make an icecream topping. Your salsa is currently ripping me a new one.

Man – doesn’t anyone else think this interview is really f-d up? It’s like he’s attaacking Blair and other makers.

I didn’t think he was attacking anyone, but i am getting a sense of de ja vu didn’t these exact words come out of someone elses mouth about Uncle Big? He was asked his opinion and he gave it, there is nothing wrong with that, ask CaJohn, Jim C, Huvason, Brian the same question and people would think they were attacking other makers too. take the interview for what it is, a get to know you thing, think about it to much and we’ll have a government-daves conspiracy theory going about the blog. (shhhh they are listening) LOL sorry Jackson, i just don’t see it the same as you.

I dont think he is attacking but I think he is letting it be known he is one of the first to do what is going on now. Gotta give Dave some serious credit. Im sure Blair and CaJohn give him his props.

“I have one of the largest selections of sauces under our brand. I did not see a trend and try to cash in, but make my products because it’s fun and I feel like we really are making people’s lives better. I also have less hair and am less employable than other hot sauce producers.”

That’s not a cheap shot? I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy but it’s always the same thing – there’s always been a grey area when it comes to the facts of the hto sauce industry

Just because someone says they are first, doesn’t mean it’s true. He could be full o crap.

I knew this was going to get interesting!

LOL Anthony!!!!!!!!!!!!

well here is a good oppurtunity then why don’t we pose the “Is Dave full o carp” question to everyone, someone will know the answer

of course we could always google it and put this matter to rest.

quite honestly out of all the interviews I have seen here on the blog none of the other manufacturers have said I am first, except Dave. so my question is….. why would he say it, knowing other makers post here on the blog and would call his bluff if it’s not true?

First? maybe, maybe not. Does it really matter?
In this community, its what you produce and continue to come up with (no matter if your first) that will seperate you from the others. Keeping it fresh and on the edge will put you on top no matter who was there before.

my .03 cents I’ll save the other 1.7 for pmac

Anthony on 7/26/2006 at 2:05 pm said:

I knew this was going to get interesting!

Yep, me too. But, I do have to say that Dave’s Insanity Sauce is what got me started in the whole hot sauce thing. That was a looooong time ago.

I may not be an authority on the subject, but I have been collecting Hot sauce for about 15 years and if I remember correctly Dave’s WAS one of the first super hots along with Endorphin Rush and Inner Beauty when I started collecting, I would give him the benefit of being one of the “forefathers” of our current hot sauce craze,
Ed

ahem…more coming right up.

Ok I finally get it now
I am slow as molasses in the winter but i get it
Slinging Carp!!!! Ahh full of Carp!!! Ahhh Ok capr is another word for cra* LOL
ttyall later

Like Mrs. Ryan said – now that the interview is out there, so is the question: Is this true?

I bet someone will know.

I’ve been a long time reader and have stayed out of the trenches here for many reasons but every so often something like this kreaps up. I don’t want to read the HSB if it’s going to be incorrect (not that Nick would do that on purpose – notice the revised note above in the post). wwe as consumers have a right to know if the manufacturers are telling the truth or just blowing smoke to sell more sauce (or rile us up)…

Dave’s quote about the Insanity Sauce——

“There were far too many drunks coming into the restaurant so in 1992 I decided to make the world’s hottest sauce. I used an extract to make the sauce hotter than anything on the market and the drunks were brought under control.”

Blair’s Quote about the Beyond Death——-

“I remember it well because I got pepper extract and Habanero in my eyes and burned for days…I really did not even care back then, I was on a mission the very same one as today. Back in 1993″

Looks like from the dates THEY say that it was close to who made the first extract sauce. Dave 1992 and Blair 1993. But was the 2am on the market before 1992???

OK, ill stop now. I might start a riot or something.

I understand you want facts to be correct, but I dont think it is in Nick’s place to verify a manufacturer’s claim. If something is not true, it will “come out” as mrs ryan has said. To say “I don’t want to read the HSB if it’s going to be incorrect” isnt really a fair statement. There is plenty of great information here, and yes, some of it may not be 100% true, but that would then be considered an opinion. If you feel that way then what is left “out there” for you to read? What newspaper, magazine, or website is 100% accurate all the time? The post wasnt about “being first”, it was an interview and expressed the “thoughts” of Dave.

I personally have been collecting hot sauces since 1992, and really it matters NOT to me who did what first and when.

I really don’t think it matters to anyone. If it was liabalous someone would sue someone else. I think they are both fairly successful, and if it mattered it would have been settled long ago They are both leaders in the industry (along with numerous others) lets just give them a pat on the back for making something we all enjoy and give props to the interviewer and interviewee for an entertaining read!

Great. Another 12 year old posting? Or someone who isn’t familiar with the caliber of people he speaks ill of? Liars in this business are smoked out in about 10 seconds. I’ve been in the business for just shy of 20 years now and don’t know Dave to be a liar about anything. If this claim were not true, it would have been challenged 15 years ago when it was made. He was not slamming Blair by pointing out that he was the first, anymore than I would be by pointing out that I grew Red Savina(R) before CaJohn had heard of them.

Ryan, Chris, you’re rubbing off on me

Amen. This is petty and stupid and no one cares.

Besides, Danny Cash was first. I remember making extract sauces back in the early 70′s. I also invented skateboarding and indoor air conditioning.

Happy to be a positive influence on you Jim I just caught up on this stuff (as I am on my lunch break at the office) and all I have to say is this…Back up your own $#!T. Jaskson uses the word “could”. You’re taking a wild guess my friend, with no basis. The other thing, and though I may get carp slung at me for this, is Blair is not god. He has a very good and popular line of products, but he was not first, is not the best in everyone’s opinion, and he’s just an ordinary guy like any other manufacturer. Quit comparing everyone’s sauces, and every manufacturer to him, or any other for that matter. A lot of the opinions expressed here on this blog are nothing more than that…OPINIONS…not fact. So seeing that there are those that have backed Dave up on his statement, guess its time to off Jackson some salt so he doesn’t get that fungal taste when he sticks his foot in his mouth. That’s my ChaChing for the day

What’s that?? My Spidey sense is tingling. Someone is talking about me on HSB!!

Ah, the “I’m better than you conversation”, which in my opintion was taken out of context, has reared it’s ugly head once again.

I’m not going to give that any energy, because I stand by what I said because I believe it whole heartedly. My fiery foods line, which is growing to include Wing Sauce, BBQ Sauce and Hot Nuts this fall, is different in some regards to the norm. I don’t think I’m better, just different enough to entertain!!. My customers think I’m better than “Eat Sh*t and Die Hot Sauce” Oh pooh, there I went expending energy on it, oh well. I just had a huge bowl of wontons with a lot of Cry Baby hot sauce, so I got energy to burn!

I just read the interview and honestly, DAVE IS FULL OF CR*P, plain and simple.

It is an undisputable fact that I, Uncle Big, maker of Uncle Big’s Killer Hot Sauce and now proud owner of the Droolin’ Devil Fine Foods line of products, has less hair than any other fiery foods manufacturer on the planet. I’m mean come on, I barely have eyebrows for God sake (thanks to a fire in the chicken coop during my youth).
For him to say that he less hair and less employable than me is pure horse puckey!!

He did make some very valid and truthful points. Like Huy Fong Siracha Sauce, that’s good sh*t.

The “worst burn” question kind of freaked me out a bit and made me feel a little queasy, but I don’t think he caught the jist of the question.

I don’t know if reading between the lines on these interviews is always such a good idea, you have to take it with a grain of salt. I mean look at his average day answers. Tongue in cheek to say the least.

It wouldn’t be too difficult to verify who was the originator of the first mass marketed super hots and perhaps someone a little longer in the tooth in this industry (Blair?? Cajohn??) could share their wisdom on this.

I haven’t followed Dave’s products for quite a while, pretty much since he went off shore for manufacturing. And besides, Uncle Big’s insides can’t handle the sauces with the higher vinegar content, so I’m not an avid user of the Insanity products. His new nuts are…quaint… more crazy with flavour than insane heat. I do still like Dave’s microwave popcorn though, it’s yummy.

And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

I look forward to an avalanche of comments on this interview, I think I’ll snuggle up with the laptop when I get home tonight.

Oh and Lee@DC, I invented battery operated tooth brushes and thong underwear….for men! Stick that in your fuse box!

Dave, where are you??? Are you full of carp?

LOL

JIM YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

so I guess we have the answer Dave is NOT full of carp

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!

on another note…….Lee it’s hot as hades at my house why don’t you share your air conditioning wealth and send me a window unit ha ha hahahahahaha

Sorry- I’ll blame fatigue It just riles me to have *friends* called liars when there is not the slightest basis in fact to do so. Dave, Blair, CaJohn and nearly anyone else who’s anyone you care to name have never hestitated to help others as they can.

Uncle Big you are right Dave is full of crap about having less hair OMG

I do have to thank Jackson for making this interview thread very interesting.

Do not apologize Jim, everyone here on the blog has seen “the big guys” including you, step up to help out a little guy, most of us are getting our start because CaJohn, brian, you have taken our hands and said hey come on lets do this, I am sure Dave is no different. Lee is no different but i might take that back if i don’t get my air conditioner Just kiddin Lee. Every time we have an interview with a manufacturer the same questions are asked and someone has to start slinging carp although it makes the blog interesting it does get tiresome. just google the damn thing already and be done with it.

Uncle Big: I’d kick your @ss for the male thong thing, but you look big, so nevermind.

Mrs. Ryan: Sorry, I quit the air conditioning thing right before it took off to pursure a career in multi-level marketing.

Man, I can’t wait to meet all you freaks in Texas!

. uhhhhh hmmmmm this is about dave being full of carp my darling hubby, lets leave me out of it for now shall we?

LMAO it’s kind of fun acting like a spoiled 5 year old.

ha ha – this did get a lot more interesting.

I’m not calling Dave a liar – we have no proof of that (but that’s my point).

To date I have not seen proof to back up any of the statements made in the interview. Have any of you? I remeber something on the food network with blair saying somethign about the 80′s. Now that may have been death sauce and not extracts, but it’s more fact then anyone else has come up with.

Jim – I know you like the guy (but to be fair, you seem to like everyone) and I’m not bashing on you or anyone else – just putting it out there. I respect the fact that you have stood up for him.

now where is dave? that’s what we should all be asking. Why has it taken so long for Dave to show his face around here?

Ryan, take a breath or your medication. I’m not attacking you or anyone on the HSB so stop making personal attacks against me – I’m just raising the question as to why we’ve never seen Dave on here.

Obviously Nick buys from him and has done a great job getting the HSB out there, so why can’t we as chileheads raise the question?

Wouldn’t you – as a “graphics” guy – want to talk to the graphics fanatics of the world – especially if it was free?

I’m not saying he should come on here to defend himself or what he said – but how about joining the conversation once in a while?

Again, this is not the place for insults – just asking questions.

Jackson, I am sure that was not a personal attack….it was his opinion

Try Wikipedia. They seem to back up what Dave was saying. Nuff said.

Maybe he hasnt come on the Blog yet because he knew this would happen???? Geeeeeze!!! The first time we have an interview with Dave and looks like it might just keep him away longer. But, I hope not. I do have a feeling we will be hearing from him shortly. Hes gonna break bad and start busting caps all up in ya. YO!!!! WORD!!!

I may be wrong, but I believe that Dave has popped on here a time or two. Maybe he’s more comfortable with one of the other blogs out there. Why don’t the makers of Tabasco comment here? Why doesn’t your mother? Its not a sin to not comment on this blog.

That’s taking things to the extreme there Scott, I doubt if he is even offended by this. he is probably laughing to hard to even try and type

I doubt Daves offended at all- we haven’t said anything to offend I hope.

Dang it Nick!! stay out of this we’re having a great time (just kidding)

Thank you Dave for granting Nick this interview and giving us all something to talk about

LOL! well c’mon Nick did you expect anything less of us? most of us here can turn anything into a conspiracy

I for one thought it was a great interveiw. Just been staying away from the blog for most of the day to much B****ING going on, I know I know we all have our own opinion and that is fine. State your opinion and move on. I would like to thank Dave for taking time out of his busy to do the interveiw. It is nice to hear from the manufacturers.THANKS….

To quote Wikipedia:
“The original Dave’s Insanity Sauce premiered around 1995 and was one of the first sauces to be made directly from capsaicin extract, allowing it to be hotter than the hottest habanero-pepper sauces of the day.”

More fuel for the fodder fire

One of the first. see he was a first, so there all is well on the HSB!

Not to get off track but did you see the post in the FC500 thread. A guy got his FC500′s and they were numbered xxx/999. 999 not 500!!!! Now that is different.

Admit it, Nick…a little stirring of the pot can be entertaining…especially for those of us doing the stirring

Dave was the first in my personal experience. I remember betting a buddy $5 to eat a piece of cheese with two drops of Insanity Sauce without being allow anything else for 10 minutes. He won.

I was the first to point out ‘carp’ on HSB though.

Mrs.Ryan on 7/26/2006 at 6:28 pm said:

a fire in the chicken coop, Uncle Big? sounds interesting LOL

Mrs. Ryan,
Not to hijack the interview thread, the “Fire in the Henhouse” as the Tragically Hip so eloquently put it happened when I was a teenager.
I grew up on wheat/cattle/chicken/financial black hole farm in southern Saskatchewan. We had just gotten 300 baby chicks for the new season of butchering and egg production.
We came from church, actually my family came home from church as I awoke hung over from yet another bush party somewhere in the sticks surrounding my hometown, and I looked out the kitchen window to see plumes of smoke coming from our hen house.
Now as most of you may or may not know, animal poop makes a lot of steam in the winter time, so I with my alcohol soaked brain in neutral chalked it up to steaming poop.
Upon further investigation my father summized that the “G*d d*amned hen house was on fire”!!
Being a lot more nibble in my younger days I sprinted out there in the knee deep snow like Ben Johnson on steroids (is there any other way really) to save the day.
One thing that slipped my mind was this simple equation:

three 500 watt heat lamps (to keep chickies warm)
+
1 lard ass cow in the henhouse doing the Charleston
=
smoldering bales of hay.

Now I’m no chemist or physicist or what have you, but when you have the sum of that equation and add a gush of rushing air from me yanking open the 8 foot by 8 foot door, but that equals a big ass fireball.

Picture this Uncle Big (more like Cousin Large at the time) rocking a serious Bon Jovi perm down past my shoulders and a momentary firestorm, well that equals the smell of burnt hair and an instant and very non flattering rat tail mullet (no offense Scott). Not to mention the cheesy teenage mustache I was nurturing under my nose was missing in action along with my eyebrows.

Side note, the baby chicks didn’t make it through the fire, and the ones that straggled out of the ruins, well let’s just say they went to baby chick heaven as well. That made me sad.

Back to my hair. As a teenage boy, I was completely devastated. My mom had to get out the clippers and try and salvage what was left of my 1/4″ hair on the top of my head and then we strangled the long stuff in the back into one of the arty farty ponytails that were popular with gallery owners named Jean Pierre back in early 90′s.

Funny thing, ever since then, I’ve had a fascination with fire and things that are hot, and oh yeah I’ve also had eyebrow envy since then as well.

Now of course the shaved head is by choice (my genes chose that, not me) and the eye brows are coming a long nicely, 20 year later. Groucho Marx here I come…

We now return you to your regularly scheduled HSB Meet You Maker interview………

“I was the first to point out ‘carp’ on HSB though.”

That is a fact that can be backed up in another thread, he did in fact point out carp FIRST. and it’s in writing so that can not be disputed

somebody should do another interview with Uncle Big!!!

ROFL Uncle Big.
I am sorry about the chicks, and your eyebrows, you wrote that all so eloquently i could picture it and I think I am gonna hurt from laughing so damn hard. all I have to say is Mulletts are bad, (scott get rid of it). your desriptions were awesome, I am going to try and stop laughing now, my dog is looking at me like I am a crazy person.

I have to agree with Mrs. Ryan, d*amn funny stuff, as unfortunate as it all was, hahahahaha!
Hey Uncle Big, I too once had an unfortunate “hair on fire, nothing left but a bad mullet ” situation when I was younger. Yes, I too was sporting the Bon Jovi perm (w highlights). Add half a can of Aqua Net hair spray, me trying to light a cigarette on the stove and whoosh! Ahhh the 80′s!

God I’m such a child of the 80′s man, they were bitchin’!!
Further to your story, I set a “chick’s” hair on fire in the exact same manner. She had big hair, lots of the Aqua Net and I was lighting a left handed cigarette (wink wink) and whoosh, we had a bit of a brush fire going on there in my buddy’s basement for a couple of seconds. It was a scene man.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, you had the “bitch flip” going on in the front of that hairdo. You know you didn’t perm the front and then curled your bangs under and then hair sprayed the beJesus out of them??
I was a Final Net boy (big ass gold can, aerosol too better coverage). I had to steal my moms, but that was only when my band was rocking out at the high school prom. I think I stole her eyeliner too. I was a huge Ozzy Ozbourne fan, he was my god. Don’t even get me started on the bandanas and spandex..oh God, I’m having a flash back….Welcome to Jungle baby, we’ve got fun and games…..

OH MY GOD!! I feel like your talking right to me!!! lol “The bitch flip”, geez I thought I invented that, had it down perfect!!! Ozzy? YES, could have the best voice ever! Spandex? Was there anything else worth wearing? Well besides a mini skirt over a pair! And GnR, I was in a video of theirs albeit for a split second but I think we may be twin souls Uncle Big! lol

“I just read the interview and honestly, DAVE IS FULL OF CR*P, plain and simple.

It is an undisputable fact that I, Uncle Big, maker of Uncle Big’s Killer Hot Sauce and now proud owner of the Droolin’ Devil Fine Foods line of products, has less hair than any other fiery foods manufacturer on the planet. I’m mean come on, I barely have eyebrows for God sake (thanks to a fire in the chicken coop during my youth).
For him to say that he less hair and less employable than me is pure horse puckey!!

”

LOOOLL Now that is definately funny, the line that called him full of it, just made me read morte and I laughed my ass off once i saw why
I love these interviews, everyone gets so defensive for their favourites.

Its nice you makers have some really great supporters out there, and dispite some of the disbelief of some they are only disbeleiving i think because they hope it was ther favourite that started it. That is support.
Dave has his supporters for sure. This was one entertaining tread for sure. That is why i keep reading

Thanks guys Mrs Ryan especially and Mr Big you guys really hooked me for this thread!!!
You all rock.

How sad is that really? Ok, yes I’m “getting up there” in age but thats ok. I”ve lost the big hair and the bad clothes and managed to keep my “inner child’ intact. Ok, ok you win I’m showing my age, shutup pmac! lol

..

Wow! This BLOG stuff is fun to watch. Are all BLOGs this feisty? At the risk of getting handed my ears to eat (with Dave’s Insanity of course) I might toss out this thought. He didn’t say he was the first to make a super -hot sauce, just the first to “market” one. For example, I test marketed Blazin’-Hot Stuff at the 1991 NW Restaurant show and say so on the bottle. BUT, I didn’t take a commercial order until the 2006 NW Restaurant Show. So, I may have made it a year before Dave’s, but I sure as hell didn’t market it first. I seriously doubt if anyone knows who did.

I am sure I can get Uncle Big – do to another round. E-mail Nick any specific questions you would like asked.

well ok then…..is this going to be a no holds barred interview?

by the way, I don’t think everyone here has said it out loud, but com’on, Dave freaking ROCKS!

His sauces are amazing and his business sense is unmatched. When he purchased Chile Today, Hot Tamle, it was a great business move. He’s a business man that is very, very good at it. We should all strive to be that successful.

Dave is one of those people you feel you know with out ever meeting.

(he can update that website…it’s bland)

(AND links don’t work)

Man this thread has been InSaNe!!! Total Insanity!!

BlaaaaaaHaaaaHaaa!!

Kristi, I hate to break it to you girl, the “bitch flip” was/is a global afflication, and unfortunately one that did not go out with the 80′s.

I was an innocent bystander in a bitch flip drive by just the other day!

Peep this. Mid to late 30′s blonde (nothing wrong so far huh? just wait),
The top down on her aqua marine blue FireFly with two empty car seats in the back (ok getting less good)
Bon Jovi’s “Dead or Alive” distorting through her Delco factory stereo (ok, my lunch begins rising in my throat)
As she got closer and my old eyes began to focus, wait a minute, is that? Nah it can’t be!!
And there it was in all it’s glory, directly above the oversized white rimmed gas station sun glasses, The Bitch Flip sticking proudly to her sweaty forehead in the blazing sun as she sucked down a 1/2 gallon Slurpy while puffing one of those extra long King Size ciggies.

Man it brought back memories….they weren’t fond memories…I puked in my mouth a little…ewwww….

Soul sister K, keep that inner child close and nurtured always, but the B-Flip….NEVER!!!

OZZY STILL RULES!!!!! Oh and did I mention…I FREAKIN’ LOVE CRY BABY!! There is a problem with it though, it only comes in 5 oz. bottles!!
Damn near brought a tear to my eye. Funny how that works. That would be a great slogan…oh never mind. LOL

LOL. awesome story, you do have a way with words.

I love when I see those die hard 80′s people with the feathered hair and the bandana around the thigh. They are like some memory that you think no longer exists and then wham!

FYI, CryBaby is my personal fave. Lisa and Jodie know to “step away from the kettle” when we’re at production and Cry Baby is being made. I get all “mama bear” about it. Glad you like it though.

DK true story. Today we were out boating and and my wife said when I was skieing I ran over a gator. I laugh my a———s—-s off. Then she push me overboard when boat was going about 30mph That hurt. LOL

Bret on 7/26/2006 at 10:12 pm said:

Hey Big You ever do any gator wrestling I use now DK handles them I have move on too cattle there softer.

Bret,
Gators? The only only Gators I ever wrestled were Tail Gaters at a Saskatchewan Roughrider’s football game!! What’s with you swamp rats and wrestling gators, that’s some crazy shiznit, those things will kill your ass, or at least take a good size chunk out of your pee pee if you let them.
Now, I have pimp slapped a few steers in my day, it’s all part of the job down on the farm.
I had 1500 pounder bloat and die on me in the cattle pen one sunny Tuesday afternoon in June.
I was giving it moo cow Alka Seltzer and the SOB bloats, strokes out, dies and takes me down with him. Uncle Big likes his steak rare, but not that rare.
The thing darn near flattened my rib cage before my dad, who was laughing his ass off by the way, got the tractor out of the shed and pulled him off me.
Steers, yes. Gators, no. I have wrestled an 18 foot albino boa constrictor before, that was fun. And oh yeah, a two year old brown bear, but it was for charity so that doesn’t count. I wrestle my wife for the remote control every once in a while, does that count for anything.
You guys scare me. Gator wrestling, what next Defcon wing eating death matches, I mean come on.

G’night everyone. Battery is dyin and I”m exhausted. If I have some kind of gator nightmare tonight I’m gonna be pissed DK! lol

Hey Uncle Big! The Gator thing is not true, I swear! I was having a bad day and made the comment that I was wrestling alligators still from my trip up to Jersey. Kristi, bless her heart, accidentally started something asking about the meaning of the comment. Now I can relate to the bear, as I came close to wrestling a black bear in the mountains of north Georgia! Only charity there was from her by letting me off with a set of shakey knees to show for it! I almost ran over her and her three cubs on my mountain bike. After that, bears, gators, bulls, and anything larger than the evil kitty I leave alone!

I thought about staying somewhere, but once I got on I-80 there was no traffic and the fact that my body was still in a hot sauce rush from the deathmatch I wasn’t that tired. So I just kept driving………..

Mr. Freeze,
Bulls are hornory as hell and I’ve been gored here and there (mostly in the buttocks) by a bull before and I can tell ya, it’s not the most pleasurable experience. Those horns are freakin’ hard. I don’t know how those rodeo clowns do it.

DK, thank God you have enough sense not to wrestle reptiles for kicks. Man that is Insanity, your name’s not Dave is it, because then it would be Dave’s Insanity, where have I heard that before?? Oh yeah, that’s what this thread was about. My bad.

Bears are VERY VERY powerful animals. I’m a big man, and back in my competitive power lifting days, I could pull a 30,000 lbs water truck across a parking lot in a decent time and dead lift a Honda Civic a few times here and there BUT, wrestling something that’s not an inanimate object that’s 200 lbs heavier than you and is damn near pure muscle really, and I mean really humbles a man.

If I came nose to nose with one in nature, I would get my ass a mile in the other direction quicker than you can say Three Hot Tamales twice!!!

Good night all, Uncle Big out!

Hmmmm, I was hoping it was a one time event, guess not. The wife will be thrilled, as she will once again exit to the deck with a beer, so as not to have her optical cavity eaten by the fumes of the .5 again.

Well I will have to defend my title as long as I can make the trip and as long as you don’t drop down to a .25 sauce. The .5 was plenty hot enough for me…..Who needs no-dose just take two drop of .5 deathmatch sauce and stay awake for hours(LOL).

Huv, we need to get you in some sort of training regimen to prep you for the next one…

I think you will keep that title Mr. Freeze, what you ingested was amazing!! Huv will just have to be the Susan Lucci of wing eating contests…. (sorry huv) lol

Ha! never seen that one before. I have hade a bottle of the Gator Hammock before, think it was the Gator Sauce. All jokes aside, I thought it was a good sauce. Don’t think it had any gator in it though.

I like the little gator foot on the bottle of the one on ebay. Kristi, how about I get a bottle, we both sign it and give it away as a prize at the next Defcon Day. Think Creator will add a gator wrastlin’ contest to the schedule? I’ll have to sit that one out to be fair!

And just in case I went too far off topic. Dave, your sauces are awesome man. Even if they contain no gator! Thanks for the interview, really enjoyed reading it. Sorry to hijack the thread with the gator talk, seemed to be a lighter topic than where others were going with it! Thanks for all you have done for the hot sauce industry. No matter the nitpicks, you deserve a ton of credit for everything you have done.

Gonna have Some wings for lunch today from a place called Zaxby’s. They use Insanity in their “insane” level wings. At least that’s what the manager told me. I will enjoy every insane bite.

The first really hot hot sauce I bought was a Dave’s Insanity in San Antonio in ’98. I gave it to my dad and he almost died from a small taste on the end of a toothpick!

Yep, we had been discussing a local event that used to take place in these neck of the woods called, are ya ready for this, Bubbafest. No joke. And a quote from a “stupid but true facts” site:

* In Sugar Tit, S.C., the state’s first ever BubbaFest featured country music, a wading pool full of grits, a moon pie toss, coronation of a Mr.and Mrs. Bubba and Bubbette and drawing for a second-hand refrigerator off the front porch of the winner’s choice.

Ya’ll thought I was joshing ya!

I’m sorry you’re right, Bubba was the one trying to sell Afghan sweaters in 93 degree weather.
