Brand Values

• •Quality & Craftsmanship
• •Flavor Purity & Simplicity
• •Authenticity & Transparency
• •Boldness & Heat
• •Detroit Heritage

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Edge, But Keep it Flavorful: Use bold, playful, and slightly irreverent language ("vicious bite," "fiery smack," "stalker heat") but always bring it back to the quality of ingredients and the delicious, complex flavor profile.
• •Highlight Purity and Craft: Consistently mention "fire-roasted," "small-batch," "all-natural," "no preservatives/extracts." This reinforces the core values of quality and authenticity.
• •Be Confidently Enthusiastic: Share your passion for peppers and intense flavors. Use exclamation points judiciously and descriptive adjectives that convey excitement and intensity.
• •Incorporate "Detroit" Spirit: Where appropriate, subtly nod to the brand's Detroit roots – it adds an element of grit, resilience, and local pride without being overt in every single piece of copy.
• •Engage with the Heat: Don't shy away from talking about the spiciness. Use humor ("Yikes!
• •Makes hot heads smiley and regular peeps cry") and evocative descriptions that appeal to chiliheads while also managing expectations.
