Lickmann's Sauce Company

Declare war on your taste buds with NaPalmetto sauce!

History

Lickmann's Sauce Company was the brain child of Sherri Lickmann (previously Lichtman), who graduated from the Southeast Commonwealth College of Technology with a reputation for her "adventurous" culinary tastes. After changing her last name to "match the brand", Lickmann found early success with a variety of barbecue sauces, but the company would strike "red hot liquid gold" with the development of the "NaPalmetto" sauce. The sauce, created using the notorious Carolina Reaper pepper, was an smashing success amongst the heat-seekers of Charleston, and led the brand to expand across the Southeast Commonwealth. Packets and small bottles of the sauce were a common site in restaurants across the area.

In the years leading up to the Great War, Lickmann began experimenting with bioengineering out of her private lab at the Lickmann's Sauce Company Bottling Plant. She hoped to improve on the Carolina Reaper to use in a new sauce. Progress was slow and Lickmann became impatient, and began exposing peppers to radioactive bursts to observe the effects. These experiments let to the creation of a new pepper referred to by it's project name, the IsoReaper. The IsoReaper never made it's way onto store shelves though, as the Great War began before production ever began in full.
