In fact, they’re made in California.

“King’s Hawaiian has been known as the most authentic purveyor of its eponymous Hawaiian rolls,” Long Island attorney Spencer Sheehan, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of a Yonkers man and others, told The Post on Tuesday.

Trump signed the bill that could show us what the government knows about UFOs. I hope we can find out about them and possibly be able to go to a new world that is SANE like ours used to be.

Hopefully all Texas Toast is made in Texas by Texans.

Calling it ‘hawaiian bread” was marketing genius.
It never was called Hawaiian bread in Hawaii, all the old timers know that. It was portugese sweet bread forever.

But call it Hawaiian bread, and way more people want to buy it

class-action lawsuits are a huge money-spinner for lawyers. Its a massive industry. Tens of thousands of lawyers and their staff depend on this for their income.

I can’t wait for the suit against California for claiming XX$ for the lottery jackpot and then paying substantially less if you take it lump sum.
