Guess what, Mr. White? French fries don't actually come from France, and Aunt Jemima doesn't really make your pancakes.
From the article:
quote:
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.
and most of the Flathead monster sodas aren't made in MT
who cares
frivolous stupidity

The label doesn’t imply it’s made in Texas. Texas Pete sounds like a nickname of the guy, not a location of manufacturing. Usually someone with a location as a nickname is because they are now located elsewhere. This will be thrown out I’d guess.
These go to eleven.

I hope when the case gets thrown out, White is commanded to pay for all of the defendant's legal fees, which I hope is something substantial.
$3 bottle of hot sauce - what damages is the wonder idiot claiming?

An image of the product's back label states it is manufactured in North Carolina. But the lawsuit claims that a consumer would likely not notice.
A law firm desperate enough to take up this frivolous case? Yeah, that White guy needs to pay for the defendant's legal fees, when the case gets tossed.

Maybe I should contact The Clarkson Law Firm to bring suit against the Atomic Fireball people. I bought some and I'm almost certain these things don't contain any radioactive, much less fissionable, material at all

White and his law firm need a kick in the taint.
