So I'm asked when there will be more Tangerine Sours. The answer is soon.
I got them working on Tuesday. We started packing on Wednesday. On Thursday I left town for the first days off in about two months. I'm up in Atlanta to see the Calder/ Picasso Exhibit and the Banksy one. (see Caldar image I took today above)
But production has...

As I'm going through old photos, this is an image of the art on our billboard on i-10. If you see it honk or something. Jake's arm will be happy. It looks like things are going well with candy production. We're hoping that your candy gets shipped out by monday. That is if you place to pre-order through the patreon tangerine sours order.

I've been working on new shirts for the store. Here is another draft of the record. Two drafts actually. I'd love some feedback. It's for the store front more than candy.
Also, we hit the first five batches of Tangerine Sours sold just through Patreon, thanks folks. As I warned I'm turning pre-orders off until we can actually make this c...
Want to give you a heads up that we sold most of the first five batches of production. I'm going to take down the pre-order soon temporarily so that we can produce this candy and get it out to you. Before we offer to any of the other groups, we will let you get another order in first because of your support.
I got to say looking at this re...

The issue with candy, is if you want it in late September, we need to make it in late August. Here is a secret link to order for Patreon subscribers. It will go out to the public soon. We've caught up on most orders, so we should be shipping only a few days out. I expect that to get longer when we put up the Tangerine Sours for order.

Well this is blowing up out of control. So when they are ready, you guys will have a 24 hour lead on everyone else to place pre-orders on this candy so my Patreon supports will be first in line.
