Makers of Texas Pete hot sauce face lawsuit over product being made in North Carolina

A man has filed a class action lawsuit against Texas Pete hot sauce after he learned the product isn't actually made in Texas.

Instead, the product is made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which the lawsuit claims is false advertising.

When California resident Philip White purchased a bottle of Texas Pete at a Ralph’s supermarket in September 2021, he believed it was made in Texas, according to the complaint, filed by The Clarkson Law Firm on behalf of White on Sept. 12. in Los Angeles federal court.

The lawsuit said White wouldn’t have bought the Louisiana-style hot sauce, or would not have paid as much for it if he knew its origin.

I can't make this stuff up. Besides, Texas Pete makes the best hot wings.

If ever there's a case for a lawsuit, this is it! She's gonna win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsmZfB6N4Cs

I saw this on YouTube a couple of weeks ago. Why that cop parked their car on railroad tracks is beyond me. This woman is going to win big and she deserves every penny.

There needs to be more than just a lawsuit. Every cop involved in that needs to be arrested.

I once had some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! and I could believe it wasn't butter, causing extreme stress. I am looking for other victims to join in a class action lawsuit.

I feel the same way about Hawaiian pizza. The pizza was actually created in Canada by a Greek immigrant. Unbelievable! There should be a lawsuit about this.

Keebler cookies aren't actually baked by elves.

No way! Really?

There should not only be a lawsuit, but the product should be banned. Pineapple is not a pizza topping.

Looks like the company is pretty up-front about it

Yep. It also reads "Made in North Carolina" on the back of the bottle. This guy's lawsuit is going nowhere.

That still doesn't excuse "Texas" Pete from being a #%*&%@ liar.

This reminds me of the old commercial for Pace Picante Sauce:

MY SISTER AND I LIKED THOSE COMMERCIALS MORE THAN MOST SHOWS BACK THEN.

That used to be a staple in my house; used it on almost anything, from topping a slice of pizza to plopping a dab on a boiled egg. A favorite comfort food, especially during this time of year was, to fill a split baked potato with it then top it with a couple of slices of melted cheese. Man was that good!

Reminds me of the class action suit against Naked Lunch (1991) for the title not being accurate.
