The plaintiff is a Los Angeles resident claiming he was bamboozled into thinking the sauce he was purchasing was from the Lone Star State itself.
The lawsuit claims Texas Pete "has cheated its way to a market-leading position in the $3 billion-dollar hot-sauce industry."Oct. 10, 2022, 9:10 PM UTCThough so many of us call this great swath of land called the United States home, citizens in all 50 states lay their own unique claim to the distinctness of the areas in which they live. This is why when someone says “the best pizza” and follows it with a city that isn’t New York or Chicago, it’s considered fighting words.
The plaintiff, a Los Angeles resident named Phillip White, has brought the class action suit claiming he was bamboozled into thinking the sauce he was purchasing was from the Lone Star State itself. The plaintiff stated in the filing that the look of the hot sauce “adorns the packaging and labeling with distinctly Texan imagery: the famed white ‘lone’ star from the Texan flag together with a ‘lassoing’ cowboy” to create a distinctly Texan vibe.
