we're bad habits co.
(or bad habs for short)
They say fortune favors the bold. That’s why we gravitate towards the risk takers and the rule breakers. The ones that like to bend the rules and push the limits. No good story ever told started with a glass of milk and no one has as much fun as those that are willing to dive in head first and safety second. In our book, the sinners are winners and have the most flavor.
Everyone has a bad habit – that guilty pleasure that you just can’t stop. Ours is hot sauce… among a few other things.

THE BAD HABS CREW
We are Bad Habits Hot Sauce Co. – a small-batch, craft hot sauce company based in Southern New Hampshire. When we say hot sauce is our bad habit – we mean it. Co-founders, Samantha and Alex Charette, have been hot sauce enthusiasts since the 90s.
Combine their love for flavor and creative cooking over a few beers and you get Bad Habits Hot Sauce Co – your local craft hot sauce company. And, of course, our mini mascot and supervisor, Charli Sue, who keeps us all in line while bringing the heat.

“I. Love. Spicy. As a competition Chili maker, I’ve seen countless hot sauce companies make their sauces spicy just for the sake of being spicy. Spice without flavor is pointless. I was very happy to find Bad Habs and look forward to using their “Smoke Em If You Got Em” in my Chili moving forward. You can really tell that they put effort and love into their products. Whether you’re a hard-core spice lover like me, or looking for more of a tangy/sweet sauce, they’ve got you covered!”

“Highly recommended, local, family owned hot sauce company! From the branding, to the flavor profiles this hot sauce slaps. Something for everyone, the heat seekers to the sweet seekers. The biggest problem with hot sauce companies is that they focus on heat at the expense of flavor, I love hot food, but I also love food that tastes good lol. I have had the pleasure of trying several new flavors on top of using an entire bottle on everything I could pour it on of the Strawberry Habanero Flavor and I have to say that it is going to be come a “Good Habit” to have some Bad Habit in my fridge at all times.”

“My family and I had the pleasure of trying the Bad Habits Blueberry Nail Biter. This hot sauce has been so versatile in our home. Spicing up desserts, burgers, tacos, pizza & more! Heck I’ve even eaten straight off a spoon, getting a quick burst of blueberry followed by a really nice lingering heat. You can’t beat the simple & clean ingredients! We absolutely look forward to trying new fresh flavors!”

“I recently got to try some of Bad Habits hot sauces and they were all really unique, interesting and delicious. I like a little bit of spice as long as a sauce has good flavor to it and not heat just for the sake of being hot and these sauces really fit the bill. I especially loved their fruit flavors which I’ve never tried before in a hot sauce before. Strawberry, blueberry and lemon adds sweetness and complex flavors to the sauce in a fun new way instead of just adding sugar. I could really put these sauces on some many things to add a little zip to my cooking!”
