Think of the possibilities! We can put your face on the bottles with a big thought bubble that says "I helped change the world with this bottle." Then you can give the bottles to your employees or coworkers or family members or whomever and be like "What have you done this year? I rock." and then do the air guitar thing again. Then, every time they use that delicious Afghan Pepper Company hot sauce, they will see your face and think; "You know what? He or she really does rock." **For international shipping, please add $200. We are getting close to me just buying a plane ticket to deliver this stuff to you.**

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2012

Pledge $5,000 or more Pledge $5,000 or more

0 Backers

All rewards above plus what we are calling "Afghan Pepper Company Founders' Credit." Your name (or whomever you would like to name) will be included on our hot sauce labels, on our website, and in our company publications (from Powerpoint presentations to Annual reports) in perpetuity. Whenever we make a label or have something to show the public, there will be your name, listing you as instrumental to the founding of the Afghan Pepper Company; proving to one and all that 1) you rock, 2) you were instrumental in helping to realize this dream and 3) you changed the world. **For international shipping, please add $200.**

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2012

Pledge $10,000 or more Pledge $10,000 or more

0 Backers

All rewards above plus a line of sauce, unique from the original, with the name and logo of your choosing (within marketable reason) that the Afghan Pepper Company will make and sell along side its flagship hot sauce. The recipe for this sauce will be discussed and developed by you and Matthew Blake when he takes you out to dinner anywhere reasonably close to Davis, Ca. Yes, the French Laundry is reasonably close to Davis and no, the recipe does not have to be for another hot sauce. It just needs to fall in line with the mission of the company. Let's talk! *You need to pay to transport yourself reasonably close to Davis* **For international pledges, please pick your stuff up from Matt when you meet for dinner. If you really need it shipped, please add $200.**

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2012
