Slick: That would be project Bluebook. Our secret name could be project Red Bottle. If the UASF has a similarly-named project, it's so secret I don't know about it, so we might as well use it.

I do feel like we have been fed untrue material.

My personal opinion may be strange, but here it goes: If I were to have the money and wherewithal to buy the brand and recipe, I would want a return on my investment as soon as possible.

If I didn't know how to do a website - which some say I do - I would certainly hire some kid to create one for me. That done, I would reach out to those folks interested in the sauce - say by Googling "Woody's Sauce". Again, some kid would tell me that, or do it for me.

Within a few days, I would have the website up with "Returning SOON!" for all of us to savor. As soon as the first batch was cool in the jar - perhaps as it was still cooling - I would be ready to ship out to cash-paying customers! Let it cool in transit!

Let the supermarkets follow. Maybe I know nothing about marketing in the traditional supermarket chain, but I do know something about markting.

I actually have a website that sells a Fire Department themed BBQ sauce that is SOMETIMES available in supermarkets. My site is just a dependable source - which supermarkets aren't.

I may not sell much, but I'm selling 100% more than the alleged Woody's site - which isn't selling anything! (I could have used rougher language, but didn't).
