I think a majority of people recently learned that Texas Pete Hot Sauce is not made in Texas, but rather North Carolina, all thanks to the Texas Pete Hot Sauce lawsuit.

Texas Pete Hot Sauce Lawsuit

If you haven't heard of the lawsuit; long story short. A man in California filed a lawsuit against T.W. Garner Food Co., who are based in North Carolina, for false advertising. Apparently, we've all been lied to! Texas Pete hot sauce is not made in Texas.

Then, it just got worst from there, because then I discovered that other brands I thought originated in Texas definitely did not start in the Lone Star state! To check out what brands bamboozled you, click here.

Luckily I'm here today to let you know that just because some Texas favorites didn't originate in Texas, there are plenty of other brands that definitely started deep in the heart of Texas; and some of them are beloved not just by Texans but by the whole world!

Here are ten iconic brands that were actually created in Texas!

Which of these were you surprised to find out originated in the Lone Star state? I think for me, it was Whole Foods! Who knew that whole food cultural revolution started right here in Texas?

Of course, some were brands we already knew were Texas born and bred, like Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell Ice Cream- but it's always great to know that sometimes, the brand you enjoy is made right there in your home state!
