When it comes to product loyalty, state pride can play a big role.
Californians are damned proud of their In-N-Out Burgers, and never get between a Vermont resident and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.
So, it makes sense that financial media company MarketBeat.com decided to poll residents of all 50 states to determine which products instill them with the most homegrown pride.
Can’t say we’re exactly shocked by what Texans had to say.
Turns out Lone Star State residents love their Blue Bell Ice Cream. To be sure, the Brenham-based creamery ranked as the No. 1 choice among the 3,015 respondents who shared their brand favorites.
The four runners up may not surprise Texans either, since they’re all deeply ingrained in the state’s culture and its fondness for beef, beer, sugary sodas and — um — clean restrooms, we guess.
In respective order, the state’s other favorite homespun brands are Buc-ee’s, Dr Pepper, Whataburger and Shiner Beer.
There you have it, pard.
