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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Who the fuck buys bootleg hot sauce?

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.

This is so embarrassing for him lmao

That’s the off color batch that nobody is buying. Congratulations scumbag.

Imagine *bragging* about it!
*What a fucking idiot* 😱

What a fucking doorknob. How does this guy even look himself in the mirror and have no self reflection on how disconnected he is from reality?
Spectre1911
I’m here questioning who in their right mind would be desperate enough to buy second hand sriracha.

It’s hilarious that this guy thinks advertising himself as a sriracha scalper on LinkedIn is a good idea

Tabasco sriracha is better
HyruleJedi
The only thing i resold was OG 4 loko. I bought every case they had the night it was made illegal.
It brought 10$ a can at college parties. And girls loved that shit.
It was a right place right time type of thing.

Time spent acquiring Sriracha (labor) – 6 hours @ $15 per hour = $90.00
Gas to drive to 6 stores – @3 gallons at $3.50 per gallon = $10.50
—————-
$100.50
Profit per flipped bottle: $3 x 61 bottles = $183.00
Time spent re-selling 5 hours @$15 per hour: -$75.00
Net profit of $7.50/11 hours of work = $0.68 per hour profit = Genius use of time, Barney.

People like this genuinely deserve to be ostracized or even punished.

What’s really funny is sriracha is a *type* of sauce. Like ranch. There are several brands of ranch, hidden valley, great value, frenchs, etc. same for sriracha. The rooster brand isn’t even the best out there
