1st :woohoo:. Thats a lot of categories. Congrats everyone.
Turk always get’s a bad wrap (no pun intended) for his Ass Murdering label. Of course I guess winning a prize for it is a good thing…:bubbah:
I still don’t get the “offensive” thing. There’s a dead ass on the label, what the hell else are you gonna call it?
Congrats to everyone!
“Dead Donkey infested with maggots”…Now that would be much more offensive.
I do like the category though. Glad to see something different and fun.
If the maggots turn green that’s would a good sauce.
This was our first hot sauce comp and we’re very happy and more than a little suprised with the outcome, there aren’t any real chili competitions to speak of in Australia.
Congrats to all of the winners I know that they all worked really hard.
I agree with Zero…that’s a lot of categories!WOW! Congrats to all of the winners!
Congrats Mick, your sauces have a huge following on THP, you deserve it. I hope your Aussie posse sends some sauces to America to Jungle Jim’s Int’l Market so we can pick some up at the Weekend of Fire event next year.
and a big congrats to all the winners!
The Intensity Academy crew is so excited about THP award announcments & our 5 awards received today! In honor of this spicy achievement we are offering ANY 5 BOTTLES for only $20!
Browse the website: intensityacademy.com or pick the 1st place THP winners and email IntensityAcademy “at” verizon.net with your choices. I’ll send you a paypal invoice for $20 + shipping.
Thank you to all the judges & the hot pepper crew, who have very good taste!!! Congrats to ALL the winners here today! I can’t wait to try some of the winning sauces.

Ah well…I think THP meant it as a good award and we feel lucky to even be mentioned with some of the other great names that won awards.
Oh yes I agree.
Congrads to the turk and the crew
Hope to see you guys at the Fiery Food Show
