A bottle of Sriracha chili sauce is shown in New York on Thursday, July 13, 2023. Huy Fong Sriracha, which used to go for under $5 or $10 a bottle, is now selling for shocking amounts in some listings posted to Amazon, eBay and Walmart. (AP Photo/Peter Morgan)The disappearance of the familiar Huy Fong sriracha hot sauce from store shelves over the past two years is a direct result, producers say, of bad weather and an ingredient-sourcing crisis. As a result, people have been paying exorbitant prices for bottles of the market-leading, green-capped Vietnamese condiment online, according to an article in the New York Times from last week.That’s a tragedy, but not for people who know where to look for other srirachas (hint: they’re not that hard to find). Sriracha hot sauce makers abound in Colorado, selling their wares online, at farmers markets and in specialty stores. But even the grocery chains, such as King Soopers and Safeway have lately carried more legit brands of Co...

On Feb. 8, a man called Ripple Frozen Yogurt in Boulder with a strange message.He told the self-serve dessert shop that he had noticed unusual money transfers from Ripple to the bank account that he shares with his ex-wife, a woman named Aiesha Teague. There had been unexplained deposits of $2,750, $2,900 and $4,500, this man claimed.Teague’s name was not foreign to Jamie Gardner and David Humphrey, Ripple’s owners. She had been the company’s bookkeeper since 2012 and had access to its bank account.That single phone call in February led to a startling revelation: Teague had steadily been stealing from Ripple for 10 years — nearly the entire time that its single store in a nondescript strip mall at 1682 30th St. had been open — according to Ripple’s owners.“At this time, Ms. Teague will not be making any statements,” her defense attorney, Claire Elster with the Elster Law Office in Westminster, told BusinessDen.On her LinkedIn page, Teague claims that she is a member of the “Co...
