APOCALYPTO
SEA SALT • GHOST • SCORPION • REAPER • COCOA • TEQUILA
This potent recipe and design began with a buddy batch our friend Eddie Gallagher. Made to honor the ferocious spirit and heart of a warrior, we’ve created something powerful yet kind by choice. This exotic blend is made with coarse Pacific sea salt infused with an ultra-hot extraction of Ghost, Scorpion and Carolina Reaper peppers, cocoa and oak aged tequila. Gritty, smooth, robust, intoxicating heat.
Includes: Laser Etched Apocalypto Push Grinder filled with Apocalypto Hot Salt, 25g Pouch of Coarse grind Apocalypto Hot Salt, ID card and foam lined box with magnetic closure.
The Firecracker Farm Pusher is a refillable laser-etched, stainless steel, push grinder. Solid in hand, convenient and incredibly satisfying to use. One push delivers a burst of savory heat whenever you need one.
The APOCALYPTO push grinders are etched with a sun skull design inspired by The Disk of Death—also known as The Disk of Mictlantecuhtli—a menacing stone carving of a skull surrounded by sun rays, associated with human sacrifice rituals and discovered at the foot of the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico. It's a tongue-in-cheek nod to the blend's ingredients: cocoa, a hot pepper mix, and the tequila used in the infusion process. Both Maya and Aztec warriors drank chocolate as a bitter, spicy energy drink called xocolatl, made from ground, roasted cacao beans and hot pepper.
The design and its associations are also a thumb to the nose at the cowardly people who have essentially accused Eddie of human sacrifice—claiming he killed for sport and committed war crimes. For those who don't know: Eddie Gallagher was found innocent in a court of law and fully exonerated, not pardoned. He is among the most ferocious, dedicated, high-integrity, generous, selfless, loving, and faithful men I have known. If you fear men like that, be glad and give thanks that they are willing to give their lives to defend yours.
Push Grinder Contains 17g (0.6oz) of Apocalypto Hot Salt.
How many presses? About 515.
The coarse sea salts we use are natural unprocessed sea-salts made by solar evaporation of brine and are not iodized. They are refined by washing with clean saturated salt brine to remove surface impurities, drained of excess moisture, dried, and screened to size.
The Pusher is a spring loaded, thumb operated rasp style grinder. Pressing down on the depressor forces a rough banded steel rasp down through the opening at the bottom of the grinder and crushes the salt crystals as each band passes the salt blocking the opening. A fast press pulverizes the salt more thoroughly and creates a slightly finer grind. A slow press allows larger grains of Hot Salt to pass.
Each press of the pusher delivers 33mg of Hot Salt on average. A full pusher contains approximately 515 presses. That's a lot of heat! When compared to the number of uses from a typical bottle of specialty hot sauce (maybe 10)you can see how this will last. When you run out, we sell refill pouches.
*More about The Disk of Mictlantecuhtli
The Disk of Mictlantecuhtli is a Teotihuacan stone sculpture created between 1CE and 600CE. It is on display at the National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico City in Mexico.
According to myth, Mictlāntēcutli ruled over Mictlān, the afterlife that awaited all mortals who didn't die in battle or childbirth. Mictlān was a four-year trial, where human souls descended through nine levels featuring rivers of blood, winds that cut like knives, and mountains that crash together on souls that pass between them. Souls that found their way to the last level were greeted by Mictlāntēcutli, who is depicted in sculptures as a skeleton splashed with blood, arms raised in gleeful aggression, with a necklace of human eyeballs and a mouth agape to swallow the stars as they fall from the sky.
If all this sounds like a bit much, remember that a skeletal face had a softer connotation for the Aztec, for whom death was so intimately connected with life that skulls were a symbol of regeneration, like the first flowers of spring. "

I've been enjoying Hotter Stuff for over a year and can't live without it. I finally broke down and tried something new, and boy do like it! Great amount of heat and the flavor profile is spectacular. Hard to say which is my favorite now I can confidently say that you should try it!
How can it get any better….you have hire it out to the park….thank you,

I don’t usually rave about seasonings… but this hot salt? Absolute game changer. 🔥
It’s got the perfect balance—just enough heat to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the flavor of your food. I’ve put it on everything: eggs, veggies, meat, even popcorn (trust me on that one). Somehow it makes everything taste like a chef-level upgrade.
What I love most is how versatile it is. It’s not just “spicy” for the sake of it—it actually enhances the flavor of whatever you’re cooking. A little sprinkle goes a long way, but I’m not gonna lie… I usually go back for more.
If you’re the kind of person who reaches for salt and hot sauce at every meal, this is your new best friend.
Highly recommend. Just be warned—you’ll start putting it on literally everything.
Best hot salt out there !!!
amazing. all I wanted was a simple way to add good spice to anything without overly affecting the taste. I like a lot of spicy foods. this thing leaves my mouth with a nice burn even after my foods all gone. So satisfying. pleasantly suprised and happy with my purchase. bout to keep this thing on me at all times... no more bland food.
This is way too hot for me so I regifted it to a friend with an asbestos tongue. He is impressed and thankful for the gift and extra packet of salt in the box. AAA+++
Great
Holly spice. Not for the faint of heart
Hot and delicious! Perfect, IMO,
The chcolate compliments the heat very well. You cant really taste it like eating a chocolate bar or something. More like it adds a contrast to the heat with its sweet bitterness that amplifies the taste. Its my fav followed closely by snake eater. I feel its a tad hotter than snake eater as well.
First let me say im extremely charged up about supporting a family business ! This hot salt elevates the flavor of everything i use it on to a whole new level! Keep doing what you're doing and God bless 🙏
Hi Bryan,
On behalf of my family: Thank you! We are charged up to have your support, enthusiasm and blessing!
I have faith that this is what I am supposed to do and take your note as confirmation.
🙏 Thank you. -Alex
Amazing product by amazing people! Purchase as a fun gift or to enjoy yourself! 😍🔥
I add this to everything I eat now. I can’t get enough of it. Something cool I found out, if you are tired and don’t have caffeine just grind some on your tongue and you’ll be awake.
I have 5 different varieties and I love all of them. Not too hot and very tasty. I love the flavor profile on each one.
I love the heat the flavor.
I enjoy the heat and how I can see how much salt I am adding to my food!! My wife and I put this on everything!!
I am very excited to give this to my son for Christmas. He loves food with a little kick. This is going to be a wonderful gift for him. I am very excited to see his expression when he sees APOCALYPTO grinder. The packaging is classy, and I am sure he is going to love the taste.
I find it a little more mild than expected, but I have served it to people that have turned red and had sweat pour off their forehead.
Love the heat!!!
It’s amazing
It’s just what the doctor ordered. Love it 😍
Absolutely excellent and delivers heat as promised . A little of this hot salt goes
a long way to enhance the flavor and enjoyment of whatever it’s used on.
Especially meats and Veggies . Fabulous product , packaging and f customer
Service!
While I can't say that my taste is refined enough to note the cocoa or tequilla flavors, it did have a good heat flavor w/o being too much.
Wow! This salt is incredible. I just picked it up and put a few cracks onto my tamales, and the Apocalypto salt totally transformed their flavor. I wish I had known about Firecracker Farm sooner so I could have tried all the other limited editions.
This is a great addition to my pantry. The dispenser is over-the-top cool. It delivers in portion and style. I always say “no such thing as too hot”, Apocalypto is not too hot, for me, but I will use sparingly for others, haha.
I’m very satisfied with my purchase and will be trying other savory salts, as well.
This thing is great, I try it on everything. Very unique!
I received this as a gift from a friend who knows my culinary skills & penchant for exploring new flavors. Let me say that this product caught me by surprise - a little goes a long way & it is dynamite!! I will be purchasing more!!
Great product that is not for faint hearted
Thanks for asking for my opinion. Simply love it because it give me a different experience. I always use the Hot sauce method and this method makes me happy.
