Some companies are content to never innovate and will just continue dumping their shit sauce on us (looking at you Stubbs). Others continue to innovate and bring the world new items that will change the landscape of the hot sauce market.

Extensive trial and error is the foundation of any good research and development department. Finding just the right ratio of ingredients is pivotal to the long-term success of the hot sauce. We source our Serrano directly from Hidalgo, Mexican and building a repertoire among suppliers and gaining contracts like that takes time.
I'm honestly getting the vibe that you've never invented a dish or sauce from scratch yourself, and that's ok, but don't underestimate the time it takes to truly perfect something. You'd be surprised!

I appreciate your effort, Rob. Kudos to you and your team. For me, the best part is that I don't have to be super careful about how much 'vark to put on my food or distributing it evenly.

With super strong hot sauces you really can't put too much on, and you have to make sure to distribute it evenly so there isn't that one bite that's way hotter than the rest.

I like being able to just slosh on some 'vark without worrying

I mean could you even imagine if this was a legitimate marketing strategy? Holy cow I can see the internet news sites having a field day with this one. "In a bizarre marketing ploy, Portland hot sauce brand found to be marketing product through the known alt right website 4chan."

Then it's going to be one of those moments where the left goes bonkers and starts rehashing all that "Portland used to be the KKK headquarters" shit and suddenly the little aardvark on the bottle becomes a Pepe like symbol.

>why don't you just make your own, where's the innovation?

This is one of the most common criticisms of 'vark sauce and quite frankly it's patently unfounded.
Why don't I just make my own?
Because Secret Aardvark Trading Company only use locally sourced ingredients, and to be entirely honest that's the way Scott would have wanted it to be.
The crux of this issue is that the water in Portland has a very, very unique chemical composition. This is largely due to the abnormally high amounts of estrogen added to their water treatment systems, both purposefully added by the city and inadvertently added through the waste water treatment systems' lack of complete distillation and filtration. To put this into perspective Progesterone and other antiandrogen pharmaceuticals are the best selling drugs on the market in Portland. Over 70% of Portland's population, both male, female and other, ingest and secrete these chemicals into the water supply leading to the iconic flavor profile of all Secret Aardvark Trading Company's hot sauces.
This effects the taste of all food in Portland, and that's a good thing, but it also makes Secret Aardvark Habanero Sauce virtually impossible to replicate outside of Portland. One cannot in fact "just make their own".
