This Californian and his lawyer need to have the stupidity slapped out of them and to be permanently barred from entering the State of North Carolina.

And people wonder why the rest of the country considers many Californians to be eminently stupid. Some people just look for something to be offended by...

The idea, attempting to force a company clear across the country to change a 97-year-old brand name and trademark. The Garner Foods Company was instrumental in the "Goodness Grows in North Carolina" campaign to promote local agricultural products and now some dumbass who probably wouldn't know a good hot sauce if it burnt his *** on the way out wants his 15 minutes of fame.

I would line up to slap this idiot.

"Get a rope!"

 

Am I the only person on the planet that looks to see where stuff like that is made? Being from Louisiana, I see a lot of products with some form of "Cajun" on the label and I always look to see where it was made.

Who ever said a marketing name had to be even remotely based in reality? I sure hope the judge tosses that case, otherwise next in line will be things like "angel food cake".

 

Kenneth - No you are not. I look at & read the entire label for most products. Now, products I already know like the back of my hand I won't read, but WTF, who doesn't read the label? I probably know the answer to that question.

EDIT: Forgot to say this. I've known Texas Pete was NOT made in Texas for well over 50 years BECAUSE I read the label 50 years ago. This is such a stupid waste of money for nothing more than to provide income to some POS law firm I suspect.

 

California needs to keep it's *** out of everybody elses business! Screw catering to them!

 

The state of California has nothing to do with the lawsuit. They are neither a witness, a plaintiff nor a defendant.

 

Its all BS,
Even "locally produced products" are in fact not locally produced. Hot peppers for instance are imported from hot climates such as the Domincan Republic. Spices, well when was the last time you drove past a "spice farm". Spices come from all over the world. And then there are products like Tomatoes. Yes tomatoes grow all over, but locally produced insinuates that the product would be made from ingredients that are "local" like maybe in the close neighboring township or farming community, not 500 miles away or even 1000 miles away. Yet the food inspection agencies for Canada allow "locally produced" to be displayed on a label because the "Manufacturer" is local.

 

Also is the case for manufacturing. Many things are manufactured and sub assembled elsewhere, then final assembled in the USA.

For cars, look at parts content. Many foreign cars have more domestic content than some domestic cars. We just launched the 2023 Highlander at my plant, some engines are Japanese, some are from West Virginia. I looked at the manifest today and, in the engine field, it had both numbers, so it was luck of the draw which engine the car got depending on which pallet from where was being picked from at the moment.

 

I think this is a more effective solution. This way he can't make any more like him.


What's next? Appellation d'origine controllee for hot sauce?

I've heard it said "My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance for stupidity that needs work." Truth spoken.

 

How you gonna kill him with Cheerios?

 

I know what those are but have never seen how rugged those rubber bands are, the boys are shrinking now as I type......

Here is another one for you, Texas Road House is not from Texas, who woulda thunk???
Seriously people need to get a life.

 

Pace Picante Sauce used to make fun of this.

 

Mmph. Don't give this miscreant any ideas!

Yep. Pace had a good ad campaign, but there's enough Hispanic presence in Noo Yawk City that a good salsa or hot sauce can be found there too. For that matter anywhere with a Hispanic population. If you're lucky they'll share their homemade sauces with you!

Granted the Mexican restaurants here generally have Cholula, Tapatio o Valentina condiments on the table. But there's Texas Pete on about every local-owned joint's table or counter!

When my current bottle of Louisiana brand hot sauce is empty I'll rotate back to Texas Pete! I generally use TP, Louisiana or Crystal, sometimes Valentina. Tabasco has a little more bite than I like for an everyday table condiment. The rest are just plain good!

But woe to the self-impressed Californian who tries to destroy our iconic North Carolina hot sauce after nearly 100 years!

I used to swear by Aunt Jemima syrup. When you saw her face on the bottle you knew you were getting a top-shelf product. Pearl Milling Company syrup just sounds like a second or third tier brand to me. But, as in this case, someone raised a stink and an iconic brand became meh.

 

how about a philly cheese steak, can get one anywhere.

 

Like I said, don't give this cat any ideas! He'll have it where you can't get a cheesesteak outside of Philly either!

Maybe just the power of suggestion, but I think a cheesesteak IN Philly does taste a little different! There's a joint here that the owner cooked for Geno's in Philadelphia before moving here for his wife's family and his cheesesteak is done right complete with Cheez Whiz. With a name like Phil-ly! it had better be!

I still think this knothead is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.

 

Coors still made in the rockies

 

And in Elkton VA. Hey, it's in the Blue Ridge Mountains... and the product still tastes pretty damn good!😃🍻

 

the best Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I ever had was in Boston, go figure.
