If there’s one thing that Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot is very good at, it’s producing those brief snatches of warm glow that help you remember the world can be a good and beautiful place.

The third season of the show, which dropped in full last week, doubles down on this simple goodness. Away from the wide world and its problems, Queer Eye is a little pocket of moral fortitude, where no problem is so big that it can’t be solved by a makeover, a quick renovation and some avocado-based dishes.

But sometimes, the effects of Queer Eye escape the confines of our television screens and spill out into the real world, where they do some practical, measurable good. Case in point: the Jones sisters, two of the breakout stars of the show’s second season, have become honest to god celebrities.

In their episode, the pair, who operate a BBQ sauce business out of Kansas City, have their business problems sorted by Antoni and Karamo, and the whole thing ends with everybody hugging and laughing and generally acting like the oldest of pals.

Better yet, ever since the episode has aired, the BBQ sauce run by the sisters has experienced an astonishing boom. Apparently, demand for their hot sauces was so high over the weekend that an order was being placed every single minute, and the pair are warning those seeking to get some sauce pronto that the volume of orders means that they’re running a little bit behind schedule. They’ve already netted $75K in profits since the show’s airing, and that number is only going to rise.

It’s exactly the kind of shot in the arm that the sisters’ independently run, small business deserves — not to mention all the online rose petals that have been strewn at their feet.

See? Turns out that things in the world aren’t so bad after all!

Queer Eye season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix!
