Afterall , RRS started out from similar ' idea ' and the guy is now a multi millionaire

Didn't watch it; but there can only be so much hot sauce the market can bear.

You would have thought so about RRS
( another sauce on the market ) as well OG

With the right marketing there's a good possibility, it was a nice one to watch.

Thanks mamy
I don't watch the programme but I'm curious as to what the USP of the chilli paste featured is meant to be.

A quick look at the main supermarket websites show that they all seem to sell their own-brand products. e.g.
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/all-fresh-herbs---ingredients/sainsburys-chilli-paste-75g
and
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-chipotle-chilli-paste-90g
together with products from independent suppliers, e.g.
https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/gran-luchito-chipotle-chilli-paste-100g

So what's so special about the one on Dragon's Den then?

//So what's so special about the one on Dragon's den //

Well we don't know if it's 'special ' or not
We don't know what it tastes like

The dragons tasted it and one decided to back the venture , not just on taste but based on the business and the person asking for funding .

As you say the supermarket shelves are full of different brands of the product .

Whether a product 'taste good' is if course subjective

RRS is liked by enough people to have made the entrepreneur a multi millionaire .
There were other sauces available

Will enough people like the paste for the business to be successful ?

In the end that's what it boils down to - the choice shoppers make helped by good marketing
