10 Iconic Brands that Were Actually Created in Texas
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.

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?
