Halloween Packaging Day 29 -- The Reaper Hot Sauce

I'm bending the rules for today's post because this awesome bottle is not really intended for Halloween and is/was available year-round.  But it's just too cool not to post!  I'm not into hot sauces but when I spotted this at World Market a few years ago I had to add it to the collection.  Just look at it with it's cheap plastic skull lid wrapped in a black felt cloak and an illustrated skinny skeleton body on the label.  It's pure perfection! 

Such a nice big toothy grin on Grim!


Here's a pic of it in the wild.  You'll notice they spiced up the label a bit from the time I bought mine to the time I snapped this pic.  The back of the label says it's a product of Colombia so I guess this would be the perfect sauce for your Day of the Dead celebration.

wow, great find! i bet those all have to be hand-assembled. while i like hot sauces, my own personal recommendation is to NOT try anything with Carolina Reaper in it. i know someone who tried it, and it really messed him up. I was going to try it and got talked out of it, and i'm glad. The Reaper doesn't mess around!

I would be tempted to try it myself, but you just talked me out of it.

Remind me some day to tell you the full story, Tom!

Yikes! I just stay away from trying hot sauces.

I had one of these from many years ago. Looked the same except it was called "The Ass Reaper". It had the same phrase as seen on the newer image.
