Full Story The Story of Drew Davis and His Hot Sauce Empire

Drew Davis never saw himself as an entrepreneur - until he had no choice but to become one. At 14, he weighed 300 pounds, and doctors warned him that if he didn't make drastic changes, he'd be bedridden by 18. Determined to rewrite his future, he turned to hot sauce - a low-calorie condiment that made his meals flavorful without adding extra weight.

By the time he was 18, Drew had lost 150 pounds and gained something else: an idea.

It started as a school project - a simple business plan for a fictional company. He scribbled down the name Crippling Hot Sauce, blending his love for spicy food with his sharp sense of humor about living with cerebral palsy. His teacher gave him a B-, calling the idea "unrealistic."

Drew took that as a challenge.

"I wanted to show people that a lot of us have a sense of humor. And with Crippling Hot Sauce, what I always try to explain to people is there’s a lot of difference in the word ‘crippled’ and ‘crippling.’ Crippling is an expression, crippled is a derogatory term."

Using $3,000 he had saved, he launched Crippling Hot Sauce in 2023, bottling his first batches in his parents' kitchen. The brand quickly gained traction, selling 500,000 bottles and hitting $2 million in revenue by 2024. By 2025, it was on track to reach $5 million, stocked in over 500 retail stores and going viral on social media.

But Crippling Hot Sauce was never just about the heat - it was about changing perceptions. Drew wanted to reclaim the narrative around disability, using humor to break stereotypes. He named his flavors with tongue-in-cheek references:

1.   Just for the Parking (Mild) - a nod to accessible parking spots.
2.  Limping (Medium) - a playful take on movement challenges.
3.   Crippling Agony (Hot) - for those who love extreme spice.

"When life gives you cerebral palsy, you make hot sauce."

Beyond the branding, Drew committed to donating 5% of all sales to cerebral palsy research, proving that business could be a force for good.

His journey wasn't without setbacks. He had to navigate trademark hurdles, health permits, and skepticism from those who doubted a teenager could build a successful brand. But Drew never let obstacles define him.

Today, Crippling Hot Sauce is more than a product - it's a movement. It's a testament to resilience, humor, and the power of proving people wrong.

And it all started with a B- on a school project.

"I live my life like a story, one page at a time. I treat my doubters like an antagonist in the story and go from it that way."
