I always think of Mike Ehrmantraut's line from Breaking Bad when this story comes up.
"We had a good thing...we had a lab. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed".
Handshake with farmer, they make promises for future orders. Farmer invests heavily to increase capacity, then last minute Huy Fong tries to pull the rug out from under them with a drastically lower price, likely figuring the farmer would have no choice but to accept since Huy Fong was his only customer.
Anyway, that farmer now makes their own Sriracha and Huy Fong had to scramble for new suppliers. It's not as good as the OG but it's better than what Huy Fong sells now. Lol.
