Minuteman Salsa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Minuteman Salsa is a brand of salsa made in the United States. The brand was founded by Ryan Lambert, along with 4 associates during the summer of 2006 in reference to the illegal immigration debate.
According the company's web site, Minuteman Salsa is America's only 100% United States-made salsa. The company boasts of its "Americaness" as its main selling point, claiming the salsa is made in America using "American ingredients". The company's website criticizes "Big Salsa" for owning factories outside the United States.
Minuteman Salsa and founder Ryan Lambert were awarded a "Bum Steer" award by the Texas politics and culture magazine Texas Monthly in the January 2007 issue. The salsa and its founder appeared in numerous newspapers (including the El Paso Times, Fort Worth Star-Telegram) and radio talk shows discussing the product.
Minuteman Salsa donates a portion of its profits to the Minuteman Project, a group of American citizens whose goal is to deter illegal crossings of the United States–Mexico border.
The salsa's slogan is "Deport Bad Taste."
