It shows the last week doesn’t it? is the bottom axis wrong?
I know one thing. The funniest search term to me was big ass I wonder how that one gave them this site? 😀
search term: xxx salsa
Now were they really looking for hot spicy tomato based salsa on the HSB? 🙄
I like the ‘big ass’ search term. hahaha
Happy Memorial Day all. Thanks to our Veterans!

Blaahaa… It was probably the list of 20 commenters that matched the search term..
Brian, Bret enabled me to try your sauces over the weekend. Really good stuff!!!
Great depth of flavor and good heat. Great Job!!!
Hey big man, you still here?
this is a cool thing to see where everyone is at. the east coast is dominating the crap out of this blog. 🙁 west coasties don’t know what they are missing apparently.

well big ass is probably a little easier to understand, the one I don’t get is fingernail biting, how in the world did that lead them here?

how would a search engine know if the 20 commentors had big asses? 🙄
[Comment ID #39025 Quote]
Well if that was the case, it didn’t find me 😛

Evening everybody. I would like to take a moment to bring some much needed attention to something…Charity. We all know and love Jim Campbell. A man that dedicates his life to not only saving lives by being a firefighter, but the love of all things hot and spicy-something we can all relate to. Jim is trying to raise money for charities via “Step up for Charity”. In an effort to support Jim in his fund raising efforts, an auction has been placed on ebay. 100% of the proceeds of this auction is going to Jim’s charity fundraiser account set up by Nick here on the HSB. However, no attention is being brought to this auction here on the HSB. The winner of this auction will recieve 2 great collector’s bottles of sauce. One is a limited addition by the Hot Sauce Underground (signed by all 4 members), the other is a signed bottle of Backdraft from Jim Campbell himself. Included is a custom made “Box of Fire” display case to hold the bottles. Please, for charity’s sake, check out the auction, place a bid. The item number on Ebay is 4466025256. If you have any questions regarding this, you may contact Tracy C. Thank you for your attention to this and for helping out Jim with his charity work.
I know what you’re all doing, Nick did the map thingy and you all created sites and your chatting…..

You might be right mrs ryan
Not me, Im off to sleep…

I love these new additions to the blog!!
We used to enjoy Zapata Taco Sauce but can no longer find it here in our locale. A search for “Zapata sauce” led me to your site — but now I’m lost again. Can anyone give me a website for this product so we can get our hands on it again? Thanks!
