Where Can I Buy Funky's Hot Sauce?

They make it really easy and have most of their sauces available online. I could not find their 1st place award winning "Carolina Reaper" sauce but maybe it is just too dangerous to sell. There are a total of 8 products that they sell. All of the options are Vegan, 100% gluten-free, and non-GMO. They try and use local ingredients in their sauces, and they are almost completely all organic. You can buy all the sauces they offer on their website for $12 or less. Good luck, and make sure you buy some milk for your tongue! It will thank you later!
