Don't Mess With Texas

says California man...

...
The complaint filed by the Clarkson Law Firm on behalf of customer Philip White says that the dissatisfied customer bought a bottle of Texas Pete for about $3 at a Ralph’s Supermarket in September 2021, because he believed it was made in Texas. The suit claims that White would have passed over the bottle of Texas Pete if he knew it really came from North Carolina.

But with a name like Texas Pete, as well as a label featuring “distinct Texan imagery” like the “lone star” from the Texas flag and a cowboy, the suit says that consumers like White looking for an authentic Texas hot sauce are being misled.

“Because there is nothing ’Texas’ about Texas Pete, [the company’s] deceptive marketing and labeling scheme violates well-established federal and state consumer protection laws aimed at preventing this exact type of fraudulent scheme,” the suit states.

Oh, good grief.

How about Boston Market? The upper-shelf chicken carryout, is neither from Boston (offices in Boulder, Colorado) nor having anything exclusive to Boston. Your chicken comes from a Chy Nuh poultry factory (grown and injected in cages) and processed probably in Mexico, to enrich yuppies who went to school in Boulder and wanted to stay near the ski slopes.

Or, how about John Adams Lager, sold by the Boston Brewery. In fact it's brewed by the West End Brewing Company, Utica, NY. Used to be brewed at the Pearl brewery at San Antonio.

Truth-in-Advertising is an idea that's deader than Elvis.
