Background

Meet Carl and Paul - two dadpreneurs who got fed up with hauling overflowing recycling and trash bins to the curb each week. When they looked around their kitchen cabinet and refrigerator, they realized they were surrounded by single use plastic bottles... EVERYWHERE! So what do dadprenuers do when they see a problem – they go solve it.

And AWSM Sauce was born, with a vision to revolutionize the way sauces and condiments are made and enjoyed. The rest is history...or is it the future?
