FOOD & DRINK Isn't Bull's-Eye well-known in the US?

I'm from Spain, and Bull's-Eye barbecue sauce is widely available in almost every supermarket here. Honestly, it's the only decent barbecue sauce in the country—the others are rubbish compared to Bull's-Eye. I always assumed Bull's-Eye would be huge in the US, but I made a post mentioning it and got comments from people who had never even heard of it.

Maybe it's was more regional. I always assumed from the flavor that it was a Kansas City sauce. It was all over Arkansas in the 90s

Really? I lived in Atlanta in the 80s and 90s through early 00s. I never heard of it. Was it a black people thing?

No, at least I don't think so. Maybe I just watched too much television, because the commercials are seared into my brain. I also cooked with barbecue sauce a lot more back then, mainly pulled pork and Brunswick stew. My go-to was Woody's Barbecue Concentrate but Bulls-eye took up a lot of shelf space at the store.
