Anyone else hope it all gets recalled for e. coli?

Fuck scalpers and product hoarders. Parasites.

Big yikes. I hate reselling hustle culture.
Related story: At a previous position, I was in charge of interviewing candidates. One, when asked about *hobbies*, proudly talked about how he bought all of the [in-demand electronic item] in a three-hour radius. He thought it made him look like an enterprising go-getter.
Yeah, we were not hiring him after that.

Good luck to him… the reason there was so much in the store still is because nobody wants Huy Fong like that anymore. Everywhere I went for months now has had an abundance that was going unsold. Then the new stock from April that shipped after being made with brown peppers… meanwhile underwood ranches is in every Costco, and Heinz is in every Walmart.
This guy had better like huy fong sriracha because I’m pretty sure he’s going to eat it.

This guy looks like that guy who went to all the costco near him to clear stock of all the Pokemon card bundles with his wife for his card shop.

I hope it all spoils before it sells

I can tell the color is off on most of them. Nobody wants their crappy backup recipe now that they screwed their supplier over.

Who the fuck tries to flip foodstuffs? Is he putting them on facebook marketplace? Ebay? A stall at a farmer’s market? Greedy ass

Legislation needs be drafted to make this illegal at least a misdemeanor crime

What in the consistency of coloring is going on here?

Aren’t the other brands just as good? There’s like 3 different knock off bottles st the stores.
Johnny-Unitas
I hope he really likes that stuff because I don’t see many people caring at this point.

Plus he’s already paying retail price, showing just how shortsighted he is. A real pirate would pay wholesale price and go slightly above market at best.

Seems like a lot of work to make a couple extra dollars. Also a gamble because there are 3 dozen other brands of it still on shelves that are acceptable.

And these people have the nerve the call themselves “entrepreneurs.” *eye roll*

He took the bait. All companies have to do these days is put out a notice that they’ll be short of stock and people will buy them out.

Ready for downvotes but here goes….
Sriracha isn’t even that great. For Asian dishes I generally just use sombal or gojuchang(spelling). Not to mention the other sauces this community has brought to my eyes.

During the first shortage, companies hustled to get new products on the shelves. Now, we have choice, which we didn’t have before. I think the guy’s reading the room wrong and doesn’t get that the new stuff is sub-par.

“Biggest Loser” wants its loser back.

I just don’t have it in me to take advantage of people

Wowie what a hustler! 🤩

Even if we assume his time is worth nothing, which, despite being “VP of Ops and Strategy”, it may well be…travelling to 6 grocery stores, then getting a way to sell and distribute these to people, is this genius endeavour even going to break even?!
Conch-Republic
Lol he’s gonna be sitting on that shit for a while. There was hype during the first shortage where this would have actually worked, almost none during the second shortage, and zero now. No one gives a shit.
FuddFudderton
If he had the original red color he *might* be onto something, but he has the fucked up color nobody wants that led them to stop production. Anyone who cared that much about Sriracha has long since moved on to other, better brands.
I’m just thankful he’s stupid and poor enough to be doing this with shitty hot sauce and not the housing market.

Dude prob feels like he’s sitting on a brick ready to rake in the cash. It’s always sunny in Philadelphia has some really great life lessons. Like, don’t do something this fucking stupid for a quick buck because your brain can outrun reality and then you end up with 30 bottles of sub par sauce and your dick in your hand.
Mr_Shad0w
Who the fuck buys bootleg hot sauce?
Kilometres-Davis
Imagine demonstrating how stupid you are with this much pride

Flip in a month? It’s a condiment, not a house. Last I checked it was called the Gold Reserve, not the Sriracha Reserve. Talk about delusions of grandeur.
MissBaltimoreCrabs_
This is so embarrassing for him lmao

Half of those bottles are in the process of turning.
mrmeatmachine
That’s the off color batch that nobody is buying. Congratulations scumbag.
