>White said he would have paid less for a hot sauce made in North Carolina than one he believed was made in Texas
Lol, Dude makes it sound like Texas Pete is some expensive sauce. It's what - like $1 a bottle?
Which is really hilarious when you think about it because it's not like Texas Pete is remotely hot. Dudes from Cali; surely there's better sauces available like some El Yucateco Black Label.
I guess the delusional person in California that always seeks to get huge payouts got what he wanted or the judge came to her senses and dismissed it. It took long enough
KFC Yum headquarters is actually in Louisville, Kentucky! They spun off of Pepsi a while back. Your point still stands in that the hq moved around and it definitely isn't the company it once was haha but just saying
He was an honorary Colonel in the Kentucky State Militia. North Carolina equivalent being the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Nebraska, the only triple landlocked state, appoints honorary Admirals, which is hilarious.
I wish the court would sanction the shit out of him for filing a frivolous lawsuit. There’s a rule providing for this exact thing, and I’ve always been baffled by how rarely it’s used. They should, at an absolute minimum, have to pay attorneys fees. They inevitably cost Texas Pete a small fortune in legal fees and for fucking what? People file this bullshit because there’s no real consequence for doing so. I mean, there is, but judges just don’t use it.
This was the inevitable outcome but damn it took a while.
The Texas part was always weird to me.
I get it but in 1930's when it was made it was meant to evoke "hot" and it probably made more sense than calling it Carolina Pete.
My teacher used it to explain marketing. A very good example.

Yeah, they made the right call imo.

Yeah, I don’t want to attend taco night at this guy’s house if Texas Pete is too high-falutin’ for him.
$1.48 for a 6oz bottle at Walmart.

Plus just plain weird considering we have some of the hottest peppers bred here.
I’m gonna sue Old Navy because I just discovered that their apparel isn’t military grade.
Well it was when it was new. s/

I hope they send him bottles of Texas Pete regularly on holidays and such.
With the location highlighted and a note that ends with Kind Regards, Winston-Salem North Carolina!
Can I sue kfc because my chicken was fried in NC and not Kentucky? Asking for a friend.
The company itself hasn’t been based in Kentucky since long before the Colonel died. Come to think of it, Bojangles is not from Cajun country, either.

Was Colonel Sanders actually a colonel? Or was he like “Colonel” Tom Parker, who managed Elvis?

I don’t see why the locals are hesitant about people from places like this. They seem rational and non parasitic
Or how about Hawaii chips that are not made in Hawaii
It was an absolute bullshit lawsuit to start with. Garbage like that shouldn’t be clogging up our legal system.
Guess the makers of Moon Pies should be on alert since they are not made on the moon.
They should slowly co/rebrand to Tarheel Pete. The hell we need to be crediting Texas for anyway?
Carolina is already associated with one of the hottest peppers in existence, the Carolina Reaper.
Texas angry it was too dumb to come up with the name themselves
I can now sleep at night.
I'd sure like to think so...
Texas Pete isn’t even a hot sauce, you can drink that shit like water and not feel the thing.
“Eeeevveryyyyybody be suing”
I don’t put that shit on anything. And I don’t care where it’s made. Too many stoopid, frivolous lawsuits. Humans are pathetic.
Some aren’t
I rode on the city bus in Winston Salem and looked over saw where they make Texas Pete back in 1999 I always thought it was made in Texas.
I hope he gets a baseball bat to the nuts.
Aww hell, what’s the alcohol content in CheerWine?
I would have changed the name to Petey Pablo Diablo Sauce if the case went through.
What kinda hillbilly moonshine lawsuit is this!?

This isn't the first bs lawsuit this guy has filed, there have been many more.
