Note: I hadn’t read John’s review of Habanero Punch before writing this because I knew I’d have to review it too.
Bottle Description: A delicious flavorful hot sauce that packs a sweet PUNCH! Don’t let the habanero worry you, HABANERO PUNCH is made with every pallet in mind. Finally a hot sauce
that wont knock out the flavor of tour food. Use just a dash for mild heat or pile it on for a T.K.O! Great with eggs, poultry, seafood, soups, dips, and of course your favorite cuisine! More than a condiment, it’s a LIFESTYLE!
Ingredients: White distilled vinegar, garlic, corn syrup, honey, roasted habanero peppers, kosher salt, liquid smoke, xantham gum, red and yellow food coloring
Container: That little Hab is pissed off about something. Maybe about being drawn really crappily. If you look close you’ll notice that he has flame tattoos. Luckily when I do the container review it never really hurts the score of the sauce I’m reviewing. The bottle looks gimmicky. It’s the kind of sauce I’d pass up if I saw it on the store shelves.
Appearance: Looks like BBQ sauce and honey with specks of black…something. I’m assuming those are the charred bits of roasted habanero. Yellowy and sticky looking.
Smell: Deep roasted aromas with honey and garlic. Sweet with a kick. Mmmm.
Consistency: No complaints. The flow you’d look for.
Taste: Primarily all you really have is the taste of honey, garlic and vinegar vying for your taste bud’s attention. At first the sweetness of the honey and the garlic flavor come full force but soon peter out to the bitter depths of the much maligned vinegar. Fellas imagine this scenario. Your girlfriend or wife greets you from a long day of reviewing hot sauces at the office and she plants a big fat soft kiss on the cheek. “Awww I love you too hon,” you say quite happily. Then BAM she hits your recently smooched face with a bottle of Blair’s and accuses you of cheating on her. That’s the way this sauce operates, unexpected and jarring.
Heat: (7.4/10) The name should be Habanero Slap. It’s a reasonable level of heat but won’t challenge the vets.
Extreme specific application!
Field Test: Extreme specific application! There are two things that work very well with Habanero Punch: chicken and pork. When you add things like rice or bread to the mix it’s not as tasty. Stick with cuts of meat. Avoid eggs at all costs! If used incorrectly it will taste like McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce.
Final Word: If you’re willing to experiment and are patient I’m willing to bet that you can put this sauce to good use possible come to love it. However with its vinegary aftertaste it’s a hard sell.
Overall: 6.9/10.

Ok I’m out of here. I have too walk home because somebody I know drank all the swamp buggy juice. Catch you later. LEROY GET OVER HERE AND PUT THAT DOWN YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THAT CAME OUT OF.
On a side not pertaining to this thread, I just read the review and have only this to say:
A lot of people criticize the graphics of the label on the sauce they are reviewing. Yes, some do look a little more appealing than others. BUT… not all of you know how much work goes into designing a product label. In my personal opinion, there is nothing wrong with this label. The artist did a great job of making a label that fits the title of the product. Its not uncommon that a manufacturer will be rather vague about what they want, and the artist will litterally have to pull something out of his ass and go from there based on the title of the product. The sauce is titled “Habanero Punch”. The personification of the Hab is great in the fact that it looks like a boxer that has gone a few rounds, and the whole boxer thing itself is perfect for the title. I happen to like this label. If you’re going to call this “gimicky”, then all of Blair’s Death Sauces should be considered gimicky as well. All of his bottles (except the sexabi and old style labels) all have a cartoonish skeleton holding peppers. the idea and presentation are no better than this sauce, difference is Blair is a bigger name in the industry and nobody dares to think twice about his labels. Thanks for reading
I still like my labels better
What happened to the review of the sauce did we forget about that? ummm sounds to me like it is not worth buying nobody is saying anything about it wow that stinks

“Angry Young Boy” Would that be a good gimicky name for a hot sauce label??? The label could have Ryan on there with a real pissed off look on his face. By the way, im just playin Ryan. 
But I think it would be a cool bottle.

Hate to burst your bubble, but I had nothing to do with this bottle. I simply appreciate the work of other artists, much like many hot sauce manufacturers appreciate others in the industry. And when you get right down to it, all labels and packaging is gimicky. Its there to make it appealing to a target audience in hopes that it sells. Some do better than other, no doubt about that, but all labels are gimicks.

Sorry THT again maybe not the label but the wording. Like make me moan come now .Words are a big part of it.
Gimmick - an important feature that is not immediately apparent : an ingenious and usually new scheme or angle : a trick or device used to attract business or attention

Not looking to insult anyone, or start a blog fight or anything, but yes, even Defcon’s label is gimmicky. No, you can’t taste a label. A label is designed to help your product stand out from the others around it. To catch your eye and get you to look closer at the discription and ingredients. Do some market research. You’ll find that that sauces with funny labels, obscene names, and cartoonish figures get more looks and capture peoples’ interest far more than plain “classy” labels or labels of a serious nature. Whats going to catch your eye more, something that says “hot sauce” with no graphics, or a picture of some guy’s ass errupting with fire? The answer to that is obvious. As far as Defcon’s sauces go, yes, they’re good labels. Simple and recognizeable. Do they contain gimmicks? Absolutely! The logo itself is a gimmick. A modified BIOHAZARD symbol with a big D in the middle. People recognize the biohazard symbol as something dangerous…what’s more appealing than a sauce that looks dangerous? You just can’t see the forrest for the trees man.
Im confused. Is a name a gimmick?
Or is it that it can be perceived as a gimmick?

A name can most certainly be a gimmick. Take a division of my company for example…Zero Tolerance Knives. The name is a gimmick in the fact that it is a line of tactical military and law enforcement knives. The name creates the image that there is nothing better, zero tolerance for inferior product. Doesn’t mean all names are gimmicks, but most often, especially in retail, a name is a big selling point and thus it may become a gimmick.

What about a brand, say Nike? Is the swoosh a gimmick or just brand recoginition? (logo) I think its just their logo.
In that case, then every sauce has a gimmick cause it has its own design and label. I think what we are “trying” to discuss here is an actual gimmick used in trying to sell a sauce. Such as a key-chain, wax-sealed bottles etc…Not the individuality of a label.

Yes, the Nike swoosh is not just a logo, but a gimmick. People will buy Nike products simply because it is Nike. So nike went from just shoes to all manner of clothing and appearl. A marketing gimmick, as Bob has already stated, is anything that helps, or is intended to help, sell a product. Name, logo, label, packaging, bottle, box, signature, number, ingredients, manufacturer, advertising, testimonials…all of it gimmicks.

A label is designed to help your product stand out from the others around it. To catch your eye and get you to look closer at the discription and ingredients. Do some market research. You’ll find that that sauces with funny labels, obscene names, and cartoonish figures get more looks and capture peoples’ interest far more than plain “classy” labels or labels of a serious nature. Whats going to catch your eye more, something that says “hot sauce” with no graphics, or a picture of some guy’s ass errupting with fire? The answer to that is obvious. As far as Defcon’s sauces go, yes, they’re good labels. Simple and recognizeable. Do they contain gimmicks? Absolutely! The logo itself is a gimmick. A modified BIOHAZARD symbol with a big D in the middle. People recognize the biohazard symbol as something dangerous…what’s more appealing than a sauce that looks dangerous? You just can’t see the forrest for the trees man.
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed the change in the Defcon biohazard symbol other than the “D”. It appears that the tips are not as curved and are shaped more like the ears on the “Evil Kitty”.
Bret, no chickens here, ‘cept what I feed the gators! I don’t think I’ll have to worry about you around them!

Come on Chris, tell us. No secrets here
I do not agree or disagree with any of it. But I would like to know who the truths real nickname is and why they changed their nickname just to say that. I have a hard time believing someone never speaking then just throwing out the controversy. Sounds like a regular that wanted to avoid the backlash
Oh well. Good job this was a very entertaining thread for sure a good read

Something a few of us have been wondering as well. Oh well, whether its a new nic or a new blogger, doesn’t change ther person behind the keyboard.
Bret, if you see this, shoot me an e-mail through my site. I have your hot sauce label simply staing “Hot Sauce” ready for you…I’m sure you’ll like it, and its kinda catchy
“Oh well. Good job this was a very entertaining thread for sure a good read”
Thats for sure. Im stuck here at work a bit late and it was making time go by faster. C’mon guys, liven it up!
I beleive that the makers here on the BLOG have the right idea, make a set number of bottles and if they sell than you have a good label. I really think that Habby has not even gone to market and yet it is already in demand(Hint), so a lot is the maker, second the label. If you don’t like it don’t buy!!!!! If you like the sauce take the label off and put one one that you like. Sorry folks but I think someone just had a chip on a small shoulder, considering he really doesn’t like HOT SAUCE.

Who doesn’t like hot sauce?
I would encourage The Truth to keep voicing his\her opinion. This blog needs a Devil’s Advocate and I am glad they are choosing to voice t
Good morning everyone! It’s gonna be 20 degrees cooler today, ahhhh sweet relief!
Good review Clint, looks very much like a kicked up sweet sauce. I think it’s too early for me to think about sweet. Oh, wait, no it’s not, yodels for breakfast! Yum.
