Entered 4 hot sauces in the OC Fair this year and somehow all 4 won awards

Figured some fellow OC people might appreciate this.
I entered four hot sauces into the OC Fair Culinary Arts competition this year and every one of them ended up placing:
🏆 Hop Sauce — Division Winner / Best Hot Sauce + 1st Place
🥭 Croakatoa — 1st Place, Fruit Based
👑 Royal Ribbit — 1st Place + Judges Award for Uniqueness
🌶️ Jalapeño Jefe —** 2nd Place, Pepper Blen**d
The sauces range from a straightforward habanero sauce to mango-pineapple habanero and even a plum + Earl Grey + habanero sauce.
Seeing my jars sitting there at the OC Fair with those ribbons was pretty freaking cool!
Anyone else enter anything in the Culinary Arts competition this year?

New edition!

Just got this bottle today and it's really good! I have a really limited experience with scorpion peppers, I've had the 357 sauce and a few others, so far I'm digging this one a lot!

Why do so many new craft sauces prioritize pure pain over actual flavor?

It feels like every new hot sauce thinks the goal is to make people cry. Flavor should come first and the heat comes second. Food should be enjoyed.

Is a sauce actually good if you can only handle two drops of it on a taco? What is your sweet spot?
