Hello,

I am a soldier stationed in Afghanistan and we have acquired a bottle of your special shit. I just wanted to tell you that we love it, we cook many things with it.  One of our favorites is fresh cut fries sprinkled with Special Shit and of course steak comes in a strong second place.  Just thought you would like to know your product made it to Afghanistan and is being enjoyed!  We are all talking about ordering it when we get home.

Louis, first I want to thank you for the job you are for The United States of America.  Hopefully, there will be a time when there is no more war.   Secondly, thanks for the kind words about our Special Shit.  I don't know if this is possible, but if you would send me a mailing address I could ship to I will see that you and your buddies get Aw Shit, Good Shit and Dip Shit as well.

I would also Like to post your email on our website under "Cocktails".  I can use your name or make it anonymous.

Thanks again for your tremendous sacrifice.

Mr Martin,  

Let me start off by thanking you for the support as we do our jobs here in Afghanistan. it is the support of Americans that help us keep going.

If I may. Let give you a brief idea of who we are and what we are doing.  We are what they call Police Mentoring Teams, the teams are made up of guys from Iowa, South Carolina, Alabama and the largest group of us are from NY. Our job is to help develop a professional and a self sufficient Afghan police force, it is a large task as we are trying to change hundreds of years corruption and dealing with the language barriers. But it is a job that we are starting to see progress and that is a good feeling to us.

I don't know if you would be interested, the guy from Alabama is a news paper reporter and writes a BLOG about our activities and if you would like to take a look the address is http://blog.al.com/afghanistan/

Well now about my original email. Yes you may use it and my name and put it on your list of Cocktails. As I have told you we are really enjoying your product, and  we would love to try the others.  I can receive packages and my mailing address is

What a great American, and he is thanking me. 

Dear Dan,

      Well I am here to tell you that I cooked chili and entered my chili in the "Chili Cook-off" and I won 1st place Chili!!!!!!!

     I talked to you last year on behalf of our Go-Texan Cook Off Team from Navasota Texas and you had a banner made up for us last year. "Bottom of the Barrel 57 Cookers".  Well we hang your banner with pride because we love your seasonings, and we hung your banner up again this year and the past two years we have had so many questions about your seasonings. I put a little bit of the 3 seasonings out for people to taste and then we give a plate full of food as they come by our section. There are so many people that love the banner and write your website down.

    The "AW Shit" & the "Good Shit" are a heck of a combination for the sweetness and the hotness in chili. The "AW Shit" was the only heat that I put in my Chili beside the chili powder, and the "Good Shit" for the sweetness.

    So thanks to you and your friends taste buds that helped push your product, I won 1st Place Chili. A friend of mine asked me what was the last thing I put in my chili and I told him it was just hmmm AW Shit and he laughed and laughed and laughed.

    Last year I place 6th in chili, my chili was a little on the hot side and this year I got it just right...........

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

When I placed 6th at the cook-off in Blanco, it left me needing one more point to qualify to cook Behind the Store in Terlingua, the original world championship chili cook-off.  My reaction that day and a sentiment I shared during announcements was, Aw Shit!  Loaded up my chuck box this last Saturday and on my way to the Little Ol' Country Cook-off, I stopped at Johnny G's Butcher Block in South Austin to pick up the meat I had ordered.  While they packaged it up, I wandered about the store and your Shit products caught my eye.  My wallet was big enough to take the hit so I purchased a bottle of Aw Shit.  After liberally applying Aw Shit to my meat while browning, then adding my carefully guarded spice mixture and letting my pot simmer for a couple of hours, I ladled it up and offered it up for judging.  By golly, I got first place!  Aw Shit!  Can't thank you enough!

Hi! 

We were having breakfast this morning with a liberal dose of your Aw Shit on our scrambled eggs.  Yum!  I decided to check out your website and send you a message about how much we enjoy your seasonings.  The thing I appreciate so much is all the flavor without MSG.  MSG gives me bad acid reflux among other things.  My sister-in-law gave us your three pack for Christmas.  I was so pleased.  Thank you for your good products!

I just wanted to say that this shit is the best shit ever. We eat it on EVERYTHING every day. Even Pop-Corn and sandwiches. The labels are so funny.  It really makes for a good conversation when people ask you what you used to season the meal, when you say a little GOOD SHIT, SPECIAL SHIT, and A LITTLE AW SHIT. It takes a while for them to catch on to it if they have never heard of it before. It's great stuff, I will continue to buy and use it continuously.

Hello "The Shit King,"

It was very nice meeting you yesterday in Lexington. Love the seasoning that I bought. I already used mine to cook. I will definitely pass the word on your seasonings. 

Good luck!

Howdy to Lexington,

Our daughter and son-in-law live in Washington D.C., Roger the son-in-law was deployed a year ago and our daughter stayed in Austin. When Roger was deployed for another year she said, Heck with this I'm going also. So that is where they have been living for the past 8 months. At Thanksgiving we exchange names my husband (Holly's Dad) got Holly's name. I emailed Holly about what she is wanting, since she is in D.C. I really didn’t know. Holly emailed back and said nothing heavy since they flew here that could be a problem. She emailed me back again and said, Mom how about Texas spices, so Harvey and I stopped at Elm Creek Cafe and I saw the bottle of "Special Shit", I read ingredients and showed it to Harvey, he laughed his head off. As time went on it was getting closer to Christmas, I headed to Elm Creek bought the bottle. Wrapped it up with some other Texas stuff and she opened it for Christmas, I also have a photo to send. Here is the response I have from some of Roger and Holly's Austin friends.  They all said it was great. At bottom is a note from Holly. Thanks for putting it in the Elm Creek Cafe, or I would have never found it.
