On July 31, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong denied the motion to dismiss the lawsuit in a 20-page letter, saying that customers "could believe — erroneously — that the products originated in Texas."
"Though it is true that the imagery of the solo white star and lassoing caricature are not exclusive to the state of Texas, taking the imagery and text of the label as a whole, this argument does not discount the possibility that a reasonable consumer would believe that the products are based in or originate from Texas."
The class action lawsuit, filed on September 12, 2022, by Phillip White, claimed that he purchased a bottle of Texas Pete hot sauce for about $3 at a Los Angeles supermarket, believing it was produced in Texas, according to the complaint.
TEXAS PETE HOT SAUCE SUED AFTER CONSUMER LEARNS PRODUCTS PRODUCT IS MADE IN NORTH CAROLINA
After learning the hot sauce was made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he claimed the company was using false advertising. He further claimed that he would not have bought the bottle or paid as much for it if he had known where it was produced.

Did you have a Darla try to break up the group?
Texas Pete is a.... character, a person who came from Texas to NC with a recipe. Simple and there is no brand from Texas that is hurt by this sauce. The sauce is nothing like any sauce truly from Texians. Quite popular in Texas NC and all over the country.
Don’t know who is bringing suit, but this reminds of the “case” presented on ABC by Sam Donaldson against a Salisbury, NC based grocery which was damaged by “hygeine” issues, depressed in value and then acquired by DelHaize company of Belgium (see: InBev)— now called Food Lion. And it is much more crappy a store than the one ABC helped destroy.
Can we get a photo of the judge— Judge me some ping pong. What the hell kind of name is that and who apptd it?
Marginally sounds Thai.
Quite clearly says— North Carolina. The ‘case’ has a lot of ... ‘didn’t you READ the required label in the first place” and.. “how did any of this damage you for a $3bottle of sauce” . Who— what conglomerate is backing this a@@clown “consumer”?
Frank’s hot sauce is made in USA by the Missouri based
Frank’s Food, a unit of FRENCH’s (the mustard people).
Mcllhenny Co. Avery Island, LA. An American company for over 150 years which uses... Tabasco peppers in the recipe. Ferments them in wooden barrels (which, when opened on the tour of the kitchens— can swell people’s eyelids... the concentrated fermenting hot pepper and juice it is in.
A wonderful American product. As is Texas Pete— made with simple cayenne.

BTW...... The country of Indonesia is moving the capital from Java to Borneo.
Answers to your questions:
Yes, Jemima was a real person- her family has received royalties for the use of her name (and recipe)... until they didn’t because of some marxist a@@holes who called them racists. Did it to Uncle Ben’s rice to... shakedowns for “justice”.
Colonel Sanders was a Kentucky Colonel— a Ky thing.
Obama and kamala are halflings. obama asked and asian women twice to marry him, she refused because of his overt anti-semitism. So he found a field hand ugly all black instead.

What varietal? Commercially raised a sterile hybrid pepper of a cross of green pepper with Jalapeno. Great flavour, and they had no—zero heat. Branded as “Fooled You!” Good and Foolish Bread and Butter Peppers.
You could take one- red matured looking just like a Jalapeno- and munch down in front of very impressed friends.
Pickled in bread & butter sweet (with a little hot) liquid.
one drop rule. Her father practically disowns her and is “Jamaican” Indian mother... and neither of them US Natural Born citizens. A far more important issue.
