Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).

Cider

IT ALL STARTED LIKE THIS...The year was 2020. A group of schoolmates got together (via Zoom, ofc) with one big idea: Can we change the way people shop by democratizing quality fashion? This sparked the dream of a new era in online shopping, and Cider was born. Inspired by the bubbly, fun nature of its namesake drink, we set out to bring that same energy to fashion, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
