Welcome to the #STARTSAUCE Explorers Club
Everyone loves a comeback story. Our original real-world hot sauce got KO’d by the pandemic. But, much like a well-known regional manager from a fictional Scranton paper company, it’s Britney bitch, and we are back. In the Metaverse. But we’re not stopping there. We want to give as many people as possible that “I’m back” feeling as we can. That’s where you come in. Each purchase of one of only 10,000 unique, digitally hand-drawn 1 of 1 Sauce Bottles residing on the Ethereum blockchain serves as an exclusive membership to the STARTSAUCE Explorers Club, an art collective with access to raffles, events, projects, and a host of member-only benefits, with a portion of proceeds going to charities that include, but are not limited to: mental health, food rescue, medical aid, arts initiatives, and financial literacy programs to provide kindness, help, education, empowerment, and some FUN where needed most. None of us gets out alive, and while we’re here, life also kicks us down. But in between, there’s space to come back from past obstacles, experience some of what you want to get out of life, be part of a welcoming and impactful community, and lend a helping hand along the way. Whether you’re motivated by kindness, revenge, love, philosophy, art, delicious recipes, or whatever makes you tick, helping yourself or others stage a comeback of any kind is one of the most fulfilling opportunities and gifts we will ever have.

The Secret Sauce
Each Sauce Bottle is unique and programmatically generated from over 200 possible traits, including thoughts, headwear, personality, eyewear, mouthpieces, and more. All Sauce Bottles are delectable, but some are rarer than others.
Also, traits are based off of fun, adventure, and yum. Everyone can find a Sauce Bottle that represents who they are, who they want to be, or a characterization that just makes them ‘feel good’. Each bottle, with its own personality, serves as a friend or a proverbial mirror, looking back at you, inspiring you, imploring you, hanging out with you.
