While BOMBANANA Hot Sauce first launched in April of 2020, their story really dates back to 2018 at the University of Michigan, when co-founders Jared Schacter, Jonny Moss, Grant Dukus, and Kevin Bhattacharyya all agreed to become roommates. In their small house, the co-founders decided it would be best to cook collectively, and they subsequently started a cooking rotation. In their first year of living with one another, the co-founders shared countless meals and experimented with a multitude of different flavors.

One night, when preparing al pastor tacos, Jared Schacter decided to make a banana-based hot sauce that would pair well with the tacos. It was an absolute hit, and BOMBANANA Hot Sauce was born!
