, Philip White bought a bottle of Texas Pete in September 2021 but now says he would not have done so had it not led him to believe it was created in Texas.

In fact, Texas Pete is a hot sauce created back in 1929 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The sauce's creatorbecause Texas had a reputation for spicy cuisine and his son's nickname was Pete. Today, White and his lawyers say the company "has cheated its way to a market-leading position" in the hot sauce industry by fooling customers into buying an inauthentic Texas sauce.

Bottles of Texas Pete say on the back that they are manufactured in North Carolina. However, the lawsuit says customers are unlikely to notice that especially when the front of the bottle features Texas imagery such as a lassoing cowboy and a white Lone Star.

This is what America has become.

When we first moved here I called Morongo Casino and complained because their slogan is 90 minutes from wherever you are but the radio stations have a broader reach and I live further away than 90 minutes

“The sauce's creator came up with the name because Texas had a reputation for spicy cuisine and his son's nickname was Pete.” LMAO. Only a gringo would think Tex-Mex is spicy.

Half of the stuff we all use isn't made in America.

And *this* stuff’s made in NEW YORK CITY!

I made Cincinnati chili today….in LOUISIANA!

I'm suing LYSOL... for OBVIOUS reasons. ('Lie' is right there in the name!)

Another stupid lawsuit. What a loser

It's says where it made on the back of the bottle.

Geez, how petty can a person get? Pretty darn petty for an ezy payout it seems.

OMG Can I sue all dog breeders who don't breed French bulldogs, in France?

Is the California man a distant relative of the Florida man?

Some folks are always looking for a handout off of someone else’s hard work.

I’m suing Duncan Donuts for the Boston Crème donut I purchased and ate today in Los Angeles!

These comments😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pretty frivolous at best.

I'm sueing the school district and churches I attended as a child because I just found out Santa Claus is not real and there's no toy factory where he enslaves elves... This is an outage..!

For Pete’s sake!!!

What? It's not?

Girl Scout cookies aren't made with any girl scouts. False advertising. SUE!!

Anything for a buck.

HMMMM Wonder where Old El Paso is made? Willing to bet it's not in El Paso.

🤣🤣🤣😆😆 he got money and time to waste

Someone is probably right now working on suing Kentucky Fried Chicken.

He going to sue Arizona drinks next too for not being made in Arizona?
