Man Sues ‘Texas Pete,' Claims the Hot Sauce Isn't Made in Texas

I live in Winston Salem where this has been made for generations. Even before I lived here I was never under the delusion it was a Texas product.

The dude could have just read the label and or returned it. I would through the suit out.

 

[Lew Newby]

The label identifies the company location. The lawsuit is an abuse of the legal system. I'm with Joe. Throw the bum out.

 

[BFletcher]

If I had filed this lawsuit and folks found out it was me I'd bury myself under a rock and never show my face again.

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Texas Pete is a classic North Carolina bbq sauce ingredient, right? Pretty bizarre lawsuit.

I don't think any Oklahoma Joes product is made in Oklahoma.

Can I sue that dude on the basis that he's driving-up Attorney fees?

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

We have become a terribly litigious society, years ago a lawyer friend (yes, they can be really nice people!) told me the great idea for people to be financially secure was :
1- Win the lawsuit
2- Win the Lottery
3- Inherit from a relative

I think that’s pretty sad.

Yes.

Anyone can sue anyone.

Of course, don't know how any court could take this case seriously

Sadly one will. And it will be some big class action thing on late night advertising. Trouble with the US is we turn out too many lawyers and not enough "doers"

I'm in Lewisville, and people are smart enough to know that it is Lewisville, NC and not Lewisville, TX. I guess the plaintiffs will be suing another hot sauce maker pretty soon:

I just realized that most Caesar salads aren't made by guys named Caesar. I'm in the money!

Wait until he finds out that Mars Bars are made on Earth.
