I am a Texan and I support this video. Things I would have added are Blue Bell, Dr. Pepper, Six Flags, Houston Rodeo, Nasa, the size of everything (things really are bigger in Texas), Big Tex icon for the State Fair of Texas, and of course the incredible Buc-ee's restrooms! Not to mention we have the largest renaissance festival in the entire country and we were once our OWN country! The list can go on and on. There is a reason us Texas are proud of our state.
If you ever get a chance check out the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. Never before or sense in my life have I stepped in a men's room, looked around in astonishment, and pulled out my camera and taken pictures. That room, like the whole building, is an Art Deco masterpiece.
@@JeffDeWitt That does sound pretty, but are there so many toilets in impeccable condition that no one, not even on the ladies' side, has to wait for an open stall even on a holiday weekend or major football event? Plus, the stall doors go down to the floor so they put occupancy lights on them since you can't see shoes. Truly fabulous.
Is is a brilliant move, women especially crave clean rest rooms, for guys a bush or car door is usually enough, women also are the keepers of the purse. Give them a great rest room and the money magically jumps from their purses to the cash registers. I see mostly women or teen girls wearing the Buc-ee t-shirts.
I ranked all the public toilets in my area when I was little. I liked the one at the main branch of the bank you had to go upstairs and down the hall with it's plush carpet. And it was the nicest bathroom. And then it was the one at federal building aka the post office and federal court etc. And it was upstairs and down the hall. But it was so clean because people barely used it though it did look over 60 years old but well taken care of. I also liked the ones at the drug emporium because most people don't know they have a bathroom. And it smells nice and they use the nice hand soap from off the shelf. Then there's academy it's mostly used by the employees and they keep it nice. So my point is my most like bathrooms where mostly not used by the public and I found out where they where by looking for them and asking questions.
Want a coke? What kind you got? Sprite, coke, rootbeer? But everyone knows that dr pepper is dr pepper and is announced that way. You can have five different cokes, but will mention DR PEPPER BY name first
i am a texan who doesnt like dr pepper or blue bell. i used to love dr peper but i think all sodas are too sweet. and i like ben and jerrys ice cream better :/ UPDATE: I RETRIED BLUE BELL AND HOLY CRAP ITS DELICIOUS
I’ve gotten out of it because even though I live here it gets confusing when my family travels because then they bring you a coke but you wanted a Dr Pepper so now I just have to say soda🙄
@@ritualunions7193 BLASPHEMY!!! LOL There are worse thing to happen. There is a place in Gladewater that serves a brand from Illinois or Indiana.

I thought for sure she was going to call back to HEB on that what with the Texas shaped tortilla chips and the Texas on just about everything. You'll be hard pressed to walk out of an HEB without a Texas or a Texas flag on something you buy.
I was stationed at Fort Bliss (El Paso for those not familiar withTexas) in Sept. to Nov. 1968, what a culture shock for the Jerseyman. Hated the high desert, food and you name it, sure I would NEVER live in Texas again. Fast forward to 1979, visited a friend of mine who lived in Houston. Found April to have died and gone to heaven weather by the end of May my family and I had purchased a home in nearby Sugar Land. We have been here ever since and do not have the inclination to move. We enjoy the folks, culture, geography (even El Paso). Went to a priest several years ago and confessed my sin of disparaging Texas, I was forgiven but am still doing 43 Hail Mary’s a day as my penance.

@StephTF5 we barely did texas history in 4th so when we went to austin and they asked us about texas history we stood there not knowing what to do and in 7th we did ancient history so we never did texas history. maybe because i went to a private school all of the years i was in school...
LOVE THIS EPISODE! Born and Raised in Texas. Father from Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner), Mom from Houma LA (Geaux Tigers). So I have my Southern roots but I'm a Texan first. Will not critique anything about this episode. Be careful how you respond in comments She's a Texas Woman and we've got her back. Howdy from San Antonio.
I grew up in south carolina before moving to Texas. We had one dairy queen in a 30 mile radius and they served food but we thought that was so weird because we only went there for ice cream
Oh, you reminded me of the Great Texas Dairy Queen Rebellion, when the headquarters decided that it was going to coordinate all the many franchises so that they all sold the same thing, and the Texas franchise holders said "Are you crazy? There will be blood on the streets if there's no Hungr-Buster or Chicken Fried Steak Fingers or DQ tacos" and DQ HQ thought about how they didn't want to be responsible for yet another bloody resistance movement in Texas when they could just have money instead, and so the special Texas menu was saved. Hallelujah amen.
So I thought when she said there’s not just one star in the Lone Star State that she was about to start singing.... the stars at night are big and bright DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
I’m so proud to be born and raised in Texas! I live in the same small town that several generations of my family lived and lives in..this is all sooo true! Had Tex mex for dinner with Texas shaped tortilla chips from HEB..now my grandson is playing in his Buccees tent with his Buccee toy. The weather was like spring all day and tonight it’s 30 degrees with 30 mph north winds! Hmm now I think I need a blizzard from DQ!
Me: The stars at night are big and bright Every other Texan: Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap Deep in the heart of Texas I didn’t put the claps in the right place or the right number of claps my sincere apologies to other Texans:(
You forget that can get clothes from H E B plus and you forgot about Blue Bell ice cream and you forgot how important Dr Pepper is to Texas I’m fifth or sixth generation Texan
When Blue Bell had to quit sales because of that kid licking it, it was like a recession. We had people lining up at stores to get the ice cream when it came back xD
what surprised me when moving to texas was that my kids also said a texas pledge of allegiance to school. they learn texas songs and texas flags are everywhere. i love it
1st generation Texan here! Loved your video! Also you should have maybe mentioned the State fair. Big Tex is a State wide Treasure and if your not from Texas you don’t know the amazing feeling you get when you hear him say, “ Howdy Y’all!”
Sweet.....but just in case the memo didn't make it around to everyone, Austin has been closed for renovations. So. Anywhere in Texas but there. :) Marble Falls out in the Texas hill country is nice.
I'm originally from the West Coast, but I took my family to Texas while I was in grad school. We spent 8 years in Texas and two of our children were born there. All of my kids think of themselves as Texans. We moved away a year and a half ago for a job. We miss it. God bless Texas.
Born and bred 5th generation Texan here. We have our own distinct style of sauce. We don’t cook our meats on sauce but we do eat them with sauce so I don’t know what she means haha. It’s important to remember with TexMex (a lot of Texans don’t even realize this), that most Mexican food in America and a lot of the world goes through a Texan filter. Chances are, the Mexican you’ve had has serious TexMex influence. Please keep her around to represent us in future videos!!!
( I'm a guy who isn't a Texan... Yet ) I've got a buddy who hates Dr. Pepper... I'm good with the Doc... Whats the difference in Texas Dr. Pepper and the rest of the country?
@@billstephens396Years ago I had a Dr Pepper made in a neighboring state that was simply dreadful. I love that state very much and don't hold any hard feelings but, Dr Peppers made there tasted like stale bayou water.
@@billstephens396 Nothing really other than the water. Dublin DP was a different animal and used real sugar, but was limited to where they could be distributed. As a result DP/Snapple shut them down. They changed the name to Dublin Bottling Works and the Dublin 1891 Red Cola is basically Dublin DP.
Definitely needs to be a series. To add to the things others said that should be in it: Chicken Fried Steak!! The Great State Fair of Texas, where anything can be deep fried. "Howdy!" The sheer size; the fact that you can drive for 8 hours and still be in Texas. Good video! Gig 'Em!
Already mentioned, but missed Blue Bell. Also, the "six flags" are from the six nations that governed Tejas at some point. Which you get from public school Texas history classes.
And if you want to teach in this great state you take a college class on Texas history. I was privileged to take it at Texas Tech from Ernst Wallace who wrote many books and was a brilliant story teller.
Just as aside, forgot to mention hurricanes ( just slow you down a little when you're trying to get to work only because the road is covered with water so you have to feel your way with your truck's tires). Oh, and how about all the white cars covered in beige road crap?.😁
LOVED this video - well done, Jennifer. I'm a 5th generation Texan. You did a great job describing our state. I'd add Dr Pepper (invented here!), getting kolaches in West, the vast scenery (including beaches, the hill country, Palo Duro canyon, all the wide-open spaces, the piney woods, etc. etc. Love it.
@@ianbat7092 Mums are DEFINITELY still a thing! My niece is a sophomore in high school in the Dallas area and they still give and get mums, and they are as big as texas, I mean MASSIVE! Back in my high school days it was about the number of mums you got, now it’s the size.
They are definitely still a thing in the suburbs of Dallas and Houston. I love seeing my Facebook lights up with my friends little siblings and their ridiculous mums. I remember mine was decorated mostly with candies and glitter. I ate the candies and probly a little of the glitter lol.
Born and raised in Texas and she hit just about everything and did a great job, thank you.. Living in Arizona now and I miss my home state. Brings back so many memories of home. And yes I have many shirts, patches and other things with the Texas flag on it, like my Punisher Texan icon. Plus I speak Texan so it's not hard for people here to know where I came from, don't even have to have my Texas flag shirt on. Thank you again for doing this video.
Tex Mex is heavenly 😋 That Whataburger Spicy Ketchup is sooooo good!! Beaver Nuggets! Kolaches in West! @heb we need you in the Panhandle! Bring us that drive thru BBQ, fresh made tortillas, and ALL of your goodness!!! You did great!!
Those kolaches are great. Too bad the old bakery on the south side of the road---the one with the little old ladies-----closed down. Several of the ladies did go to the "new" place right by the highway, though. My wife is from Abbott.

I am not from Texas. But I did move to Texas in Aug of 2020. And it really is a culture all of it's own. I visited for the first time in March of 2020 just before everything went on lockdown and my first time inside of Bucc-ee's was nothing short of magical. Oh, and I now work at HEB. C:
I remember my first trip to visit my husband's family in Texas. We were at the store in the small town his family lived in and I was like " wow there is so many tourist in this town everyone has UT shirts or flags ...he said "not tourist we are just real proud of our state. Yep, it's real!
Oh Chuck Norris I almost forgotten about him. When I was young he was the person I always seemed to run into at the HEB. I would recognize his cart first because it always had the same things in it. No I didn't ask for his autograph I had a neighbor down the road that was in Bonanza so I didn't think it odd to run into tv stars. My mom always said we had soap opera stars in the area but since I don't watch never noticed them at the store.
You left out the language. We have our own. I can't count the number of times a non Texan has scratched their head trying to figure out what's broken when I say "I'm fixin' to....."
@@madiemadthebookworm still not relevant to my statement. There’s a lot of cool stuff about Texas but they also claim a lot of stuff that is just common southern stuff. Btw, Texas would be nothing without Tennessee folks. Know your history.
If you say "the taco truck" in Austin, you're possibly referring to one of about 800 spots. Shout out to Santa Barbacha, just had them for the first time last Friday. The barbacoa breakfast taco with eggs, potato, and avocado was amazing.
A good BBQ joint also needs a screen door that has a spring to slam it shut (no hydraulic closers allowed) and a flyswatter hanging inside on the wall next to said door.
Her list is great! Could add the State Fair of Texas, it’s something else, and big of course! The continental US is often divided into geographical regions like north, south, east and west (and each can be further subdivided). In which one do we Texans consider ourselves to belong? Trick question, none! Texas is just Texas, we’re our own region. ❤️
I was born (1966) and grew up in Texas (Odessa and Abilene) and have sadly lived away from my great State since 1995, but I will tell you right now, if someone disses Texas, the chip on my shoulder is so huge with pride, I will put them in their place about it! I've lived in Alabama since 1999 and married my beloved Husband in 2005 and the MAIN THING he will tell anyone is that he's proud I'm a Texan. Oh, and don't dare say anything bad about it cause she will school you. And, luckily, there is a BBQ place where we live that serves "low and slow and no sauce" brisket. Still not the same though. I miss Texas, sigh....
Hey y’all from Lindale, TX!! I only recently got grafted into Texas, and I am constantly amazed and thankful that I get to live in the most amazing state in the US! Literally, I wake up every morning and thank the Lord I get to live here! In the short time I have lived here, I have acquired a healthy dose of Texas pride, let me tell ya! I think it’s contagious!
Being an expat, here's what people that I know don't understand about Texans: bluebonnet season, kolaches, big freeways, big trucks, big Halloween yard decorations, lots of tamales at Christmas, and even BIGGER Christmas yard decorations
Just recently move to BCS from the coast... nearly walking distance to Kyle field! Love it around here on game day...and Im not even a football fan! Though I do wish there was more Texas beach representation!!!
@@faethe000 Americans don’t travel enough because in France you can get to Germany or a neighboring country East of Germany before you can even come close to getting outside the U.S from Texas.
@@lillyc9283 Americans don't even travel to other states though. I'm serious when I say everyone in every state in the entire country says the 5 minute weather change thing.
@@faethe000 bro I have to travel to my parents house for six hours and they are still in Texas and we are kinda close if you just look the Texas map. We say the weather changes every five minutes because it’s kinda true. Have you ever had to carry a thick coat around just because it was cold for the one hour bus ride that increasing started to climb it’s way up to 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit? Edit: to only find out that during the time that you were in school it was a nice day but then when you step outside after school ends it starts to rain?
@@lillyc9283 If you ever decide to visit any other states, you'll find the weather changes just as often everywhere else, too. The fact that you think this makes Texas special just underscores that you don't know anything about other places.
Yup! I’m a BIN (Born In Nacogdoches) and the pride of being a BIN is enormous! The oldest town in Texas, home of the Stone Fort, and brick streets downtown. And the weather? It was 70 the day before we got 8 inches of snow this week.
If you are a hard head west Texan that siren just means go look at the sky like my husband does. My kin riding out hurricanes are just as bad. Great grandma rode out the 1900 storm in a tree according family legend.
My aunt's husband's job transferred them to another state. Before they moved she bought a Texas pendant and wore it every day. She said, "if ever I'm in some horrible accident and they can't identify my body at least they will know to send what is left to Texas."
Way to represent, Jennifer!! Loved it. Sad native Texan here: I've never been to a Buc-ee's. The closest one is like 3 hours away and it's only been there recently. I have driven across the the state so I don't know how I've missed it, but I've never even seen one. Correction: I've probably seen one long ago, but my dad would have been driving and that man stops for nothing. LOL
I've been learning English on Cambly and I have a Texan tutor. And I'm saying that he's like the nicest tutor I've met up to now (I've worked with 24 tutors so far). He's very serious with his teaching job, spending lots of time to improve his lessons and support students even when it's his days off. Not many English tutors/teachers would do the same thing I say. I mean to work with their whole heart.
SATX here, and nothing on this Earth is better than HEB and Buc-ee’s. The world would be better if the world only had those 2 places as grocery stores and gas stations 🧐
@@Jean2235177 nice I've heard of h e b and would really like to shop at one you on east side or west I'm northwest Alabama oops I was thinking of store station sounds nice to
As a person who travels in an RV, Texas is very generous in providing places to stay. Heck, it can take me 2 months just traveling from one city park to another before I reach a border.
Transplant Texan here. Been in the Houston area now 8 years, and Bucees & H-E-B are standard in this house. Every time we have a trip it’s Bucees and we grocery shop at H-E-B. Great work on the presentation here.
Being from Texas my whole life i feel like you kinda nailed it. If you forgot anything which is actually a stretch then maybe potato salad with the BBQ. Its kinda important
Y’all actually managed to get all of these things correct. Most people who talk about “Texan” things on TH-cam are doin’ it all while wearing a Beto O’Rourke shirt. {Yeah I’m talkin’ ‘bout that accent video} Edit; Austin isn’t a part of Texas.
Love it. So true too. Was born a nebraskan but lived in Texas for a few years when I was little and even though I have lived in Nebraska longer than I've loved in Texas Texas is still the best place ever
Where I'm at it snowed in June and September and it has snowed on the fourth of July. But then there are days that are hot and night that are cold! Gotta love the desert.
We've got 10 different ecological regions, 3 biomes, and 2 time zones. Then we have the largest military base in the free world (Ft Hood), our own power grid, Bluebell, Dr.Pepper, Shiner, Texas Country/Red Dirt music, Johnson Space Center, Palo Durham Canyon (2nd only to the grand canyon), the Texas Navy, and the list could go on and on. Suffice it to say God blessed Texas. 👆Guns up!
Texas has been under Spanish, Mexican, for a few years its own little country, and lastly annexed by the US, but who knows maybe in the future like California Texas can become a nation... You guys have so much pride!
I am a Texan and I support this video.

LOVE THIS EPISODE! Born and Raised in Texas. Father from Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner), Mom from Houma LA (Geaux Tigers). So I have my Southern roots but I'm a Texan first. Will not critique anything about this episode. Be careful how you respond in comments She's a Texas Woman and we've got her back. Howdy from San Antonio.
You forgot how our dairy queens actually serve food and not just icecream
hold up. some dairy queens don’t serve actual food?? excuse me?
I grew up in south carolina before moving to Texas. We had one dairy queen in a 30 mile radius and they served food but we thought that was so weird because we only went there for ice cream
@@frogbysachs7559 This was my first thought.
Oh, you reminded me of the Great Texas Dairy Queen Rebellion, when the headquarters decided that it was going to coordinate all the many franchises so that they all sold the same thing, and the Texas franchise holders said "Are you crazy? There will be blood on the streets if there's no Hungr-Buster or Chicken Fried Steak Fingers or DQ tacos" and DQ HQ thought about how they didn't want to be responsible for yet another bloody resistance movement in Texas when they could just have money instead, and so the special Texas menu was saved. Hallelujah amen.
DQ the official Texas stop sign!
You hit some high points, but you already know you need to make another 150 episodes if you’re gonna call it “EVERYTHING you need to know about Texas”
At LEAST 150 - probably more!
Spot on!! 😂
Yes please!
It can be its own running series. "Texas Travel Guide" or something like that
we have so much pride that we want to become our own country
We were our own country
@@patrickmeyer1967 yeah
@@patrickmeyer1967 We still are, We just annexed the rest of the USA and let them keep the name
Bro... We were our own country.
@@MercyTheDestroyer no DMS1983 is right
"It's 3am, you got $3, you want 19 tacos" :D Dying!
The shape of Texas is everywhere in Texas! Chips, lawn decor, etc. Every child in Texas can recognize the shape of Texas by age 2.
Don't forget the Texas shaped waffle makers.
So I thought when she said there’s not just one star in the Lone Star State that she was about to start singing.... the stars at night are big and bright DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
You forgot the Clap clap clap clap
🎶👏,👏,👏,👏!!🎶
I’m so proud to be born and raised in Texas! I live in the same small town that several generations of my family lived and lives in..this is all sooo true! Had Tex mex for dinner with Texas shaped tortilla chips from HEB..now my grandson is playing in his Buccees tent with his Buccee toy. The weather was like spring all day and tonight it’s 30 degrees with 30 mph north winds! Hmm now I think I need a blizzard from DQ!
Me: The stars at night are big and bright
Every other Texan: Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap Deep in the heart of Texas
I didn’t put the claps in the right place or the right number of claps my sincere apologies to other Texans:(
You put the clapping in the wrong place, but yes pretty much lol
@@JentasticJohnson
And missed a clap from what I can tell, LOL!
That's how Texans recognize each other in crowds out of state. That and the YEE YEEEE when the alcohol kicks in
I came to make the same comment!
@@JentasticJohnson they might be a transplant. lol
You forget that can get clothes from H E B plus and you forgot about Blue Bell ice cream and you forgot how important Dr Pepper is to Texas I’m fifth or sixth generation Texan
When Blue Bell had to quit sales because of that kid licking it, it was like a recession. We had people lining up at stores to get the ice cream when it came back xD
She left out the biggest youtubers ever, Dude Perfect, who DP just sponsored last month!
@@kerryhelton8760 Right!
The Blue Bell shortage is a scar I still haven't healed...
Dr. Pepper, at 10, 2, and 4 !!!
(and then again at 7!!!)
Yes!! Blue Bell, Dr Pepper and Shiner beer!
what surprised me when moving to texas was that my kids also said a texas pledge of allegiance to school. they learn texas songs and texas flags are everywhere. i love it
It's state law to say the US Pledge and the Texas Pledge. I'm a retired Texas teacher, even taught Texas history for 14 years.
I really wasn't full blown homesick until y'all hit me back to back with Whataburger and Bucees.😂🤘❤
Isn't Buc-EE's the most awesome store ever? Our home has many of their wonderful seasonal items for decoration. How about them Beaver Nuggets???
Yeah im getting homesick now too
@@nickyannajones O wanderer come home, you're not too far.
Don’t forget about Chick-fil-a
Don't lie, she had you at H-E-B 🤣
1st generation Texan here! Loved your video! Also you should have maybe mentioned the State fair. Big Tex is a State wide Treasure and if your not from Texas you don’t know the amazing feeling you get when you hear him say, “ Howdy Y’all!”
Proof the Texan pride is real: all the commenters adding the things not mentioned in the video 🤣👍💕
Talking about Texas Pride made me tear up, because it's true. Well done!
Dad retired to Texas almost 3 years ago, he’s been talking about Texas making me jealous, so moving my family of 6 out there this summer :)
We moved here ten years ago. Wished I moved here forty years ago. I ain't from here, but ah got here as fast as I could.
I'm moving there this summer too. I can't wait. Don't even live there yet and it feels like home already.
Welcome!! 😀
Please do not move here. There are too many nonTexans!
Sweet.....but just in case the memo didn't make it around to everyone, Austin has been closed for renovations. So. Anywhere in Texas but there. :) Marble Falls out in the Texas hill country is nice.
I'm originally from the West Coast, but I took my family to Texas while I was in grad school. We spent 8 years in Texas and two of our children were born there. All of my kids think of themselves as Texans. We moved away a year and a half ago for a job. We miss it. God bless Texas.
Born and bred 5th generation Texan here. We have our own distinct style of sauce. We don’t cook our meats on sauce but we do eat them with sauce so I don’t know what she means haha. It’s important to remember with TexMex (a lot of Texans don’t even realize this), that most Mexican food in America and a lot of the world goes through a Texan filter. Chances are, the Mexican you’ve had has serious TexMex influence. Please keep her around to represent us in future videos!!!
Im 7th generation Texan
I agree, keep that sweetheart around!
Awesome! We came from Glasgow to Fort Worth and never left.
I like sauce if needed or with chopped and there are a lot better burger than Whataburger. I’m 60. And my family has been in Texas since 1860.
The Whataburger Chicken Fingers are REALLLLY GOOD!!!
Also, King of the Hill is the most accurate portrayal of Texas I’ve seen in any tv show.
Finally a video mentioning Texas that truly exemplified our wonderful state! Only thing missing is Dr Pepper...
And Blue Bell.
( I'm a guy who isn't a Texan... Yet )
I've got a buddy who hates Dr. Pepper... I'm good with the Doc...
Whats the difference in Texas Dr. Pepper and the rest of the country?
And big red
@@billstephens396Years ago I had a Dr Pepper made in a neighboring state that was simply dreadful. I love that state very much and don't hold any hard feelings but, Dr Peppers made there tasted like stale bayou water.
@@billstephens396 Nothing really other than the water. Dublin DP was a different animal and used real sugar, but was limited to where they could be distributed. As a result DP/Snapple shut them down. They changed the name to Dublin Bottling Works and the Dublin 1891 Red Cola is basically Dublin DP.
Definitely needs to be a series. To add to the things others said that should be in it: Chicken Fried Steak!! The Great State Fair of Texas, where anything can be deep fried. "Howdy!" The sheer size; the fact that you can drive for 8 hours and still be in Texas. Good video! Gig 'Em!
McKinney, Texas here. Ya done good, Jennifer. Real good.
Right down the street.... Allen!
Hi from Rockwall! 👋🏼
I'm in a town near McKinney too! (but a different one)
Already mentioned, but missed Blue Bell. Also, the "six flags" are from the six nations that governed Tejas at some point. Which you get from public school Texas history classes.
And if you want to teach in this great state you take a college class on Texas history. I was privileged to take it at Texas Tech from Ernst Wallace who wrote many books and was a brilliant story teller.
The only accurate history class I’ve ever taken
I also had Texas government ? In 8th grade.
Never went to six flags
I remember being taught about Pecos Bill creating the Pecos River by lassoing a tornado when I was in middle school lol.
I live in San Antonio and the weather portion is so accurate
No kidding....all that frost in the morning, and then 60s this afternoon
Mother nature: you cant have all 4 seasons in one day!
Texas : hold my beer
Just as aside, forgot to mention hurricanes ( just slow you down a little when you're trying to get to work only because the road is covered with water so you have to feel your way with your truck's tires).
Oh, and how about all the white cars covered in beige road crap?.😁
Being a native Texan, i agree with her list.
Tex-y = Texas + sexy
LOVED this video - well done, Jennifer. I'm a 5th generation Texan. You did a great job describing our state. I'd add Dr Pepper (invented here!), getting kolaches in West, the vast scenery (including beaches, the hill country, Palo Duro canyon, all the wide-open spaces, the piney woods, etc. etc. Love it.
I lived a block from the Dr. Pepper creation location, and I went dancing in West. Haven’t thought about that in years. I miss Texas!
@@rebeccscreasman3293 Then you must have lived in my hometown! Haven't been there in ages. Good memories.
I'm from Texas and this is pretty accurate.
Except how she said Whataburger it’s pronounced water-burger
How do I give this video a million likes? It deserve them.
I'm from CA, but my Aunt lives in Texas. Absolutely love the State. I also served on a submarine and most people onboard were from CA, FL, or Texas.
You forgot Tejano music and Texas Blues and Texas Country music being their own things
Lol try polka music. Idk why but it is so prevalent for neighbors to blast polka around here (south texas/crossroads area)
She didn't mention Stevie Ray Vaughan!
@@SheepdogSmokey
HOW could she miss SRV!!!!
...smh...
We even have a nice statue of him down by the river ❤
@@gardengatesopen Well, she's not perfect.
Did she mention Janis Joplin? Not sure if she was born here, but grew up in Pt. Arthur.
Can’t believe y’all forgot about HOMECOMING! THE MUMS!!!
@@ianbat7092 girl what?? It’s a big deal still and I graduated in 2017, I am from a small town tho, maybe the big cities have stopped the tradition
@@ianbat7092 Mums are DEFINITELY still a thing! My niece is a sophomore in high school in the Dallas area and they still give and get mums, and they are as big as texas, I mean MASSIVE! Back in my high school days it was about the number of mums you got, now it’s the size.
@@ianbat7092 well that is so sad! 😢 Bless Your Heart!
@@ianbat7092 they still do them in Fort Worth area. As a Georgia girl, this confused me.
They are definitely still a thing in the suburbs of Dallas and Houston. I love seeing my Facebook lights up with my friends little siblings and their ridiculous mums. I remember mine was decorated mostly with candies and glitter. I ate the candies and probly a little of the glitter lol.
Yep if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
Laurence, the "Lost in the Pond" guy checked into that, they say it pretty much everywhere... I know we say it here in North Carolina.
@@JeffDeWittKentucky too!
This week in DFW we started "cool," had snow that stuck and accumulated, then wind, then a pretty nice day today.
@@JeffDeWitt They even say that in Seattle where you know damn well its going to be cold and overcast for 4 months straight!
Just like everywhere else. Nothing special.
Loved this. I'm an Alabama girl with lots of family in Texas. You killed it. Right on point.
This young lady sums it up!
Born and raised in Texas and she hit just about everything and did a great job, thank you.. Living in Arizona now and I miss my home state. Brings back so many memories of home. And yes I have many shirts, patches and other things with the Texas flag on it, like my Punisher Texan icon. Plus I speak Texan so it's not hard for people here to know where I came from, don't even have to have my Texas flag shirt on. Thank you again for doing this video.
I'm from Texas. You forgot scenery. Mountains, seashore, hills, plains, desert, woods, we have it all. Texas' natural beauty is stunning!
Um, not really compared to most of the country.
we got mountains?

Kolaches in West!
@heb we need you in the Panhandle! Bring us that drive thru BBQ, fresh made tortillas, and ALL of your goodness!!!
You did great!!
Those kolaches are great. Too bad the old bakery on the south side of the road---the one with the little old ladies-----closed down. Several of the ladies did go to the "new" place right by the highway, though. My wife is from Abbott.

@@hotandsoursoup2664 never heard of it. Thanks for sharing
I am not from Texas. But I did move to Texas in Aug of 2020. And it really is a culture all of it's own. I visited for the first time in March of 2020 just before everything went on lockdown and my first time inside of Bucc-ee's was nothing short of magical. Oh, and I now work at HEB. C:
No sauce!!!! AMEN SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT !!!!
Good meat doesn't need sauce. Dad taught me that before I even moved to Texas!
My momma always taught me. If meat is cooked right, it will never need sauce.
I remember my first trip to visit my husband's family in Texas. We were at the store in the small town his family lived in and I was like " wow there is so many tourist in this town everyone has UT shirts or flags ...he said "not tourist we are just real proud of our state. Yep, it's real!
You tell 'em! "It's a whole other country." Oh, and you forgot the most bada** Texan celebrity of them all ... Chuck Norris!
Oh ma word, she did!! :O
Beyonce: Am I a joke to you?
@@kevinramsey417 Pretty much.
Oh Chuck Norris I almost forgotten about him. When I was young he was the person I always seemed to run into at the HEB. I would recognize his cart first because it always had the same things in it. No I didn't ask for his autograph I had a neighbor down the road that was in Bonanza so I didn't think it odd to run into tv stars. My mom always said we had soap opera stars in the area but since I don't watch never noticed them at the store.
Chuck is from Oklahoma unfortunately
Texas is truly THE BEST! Nothing else compares to our Lone Star state!
You forgot the Vaughn Brothers Jimmy and Stevie Ray, ZZ Top.
Vaughan is the correct spelling
Love it! This Texas girl agrees with everything you listed. Great job!
You left out the language. We have our own. I can't count the number of times a non Texan has scratched their head trying to figure out what's broken when I say "I'm fixin' to....."
That's just Southern. We say that in SC.
But us Texans have a thicker accent
Texans steal a bunch of southern stuff and say it’s Texan.
@@scottwomack8905 has any other state became a country ?
@@madiemadthebookworm still not relevant to my statement. There’s a lot of cool stuff about Texas but they also claim a lot of stuff that is just common southern stuff. Btw, Texas would be nothing without Tennessee folks. Know your history.
We just call it "THE Taco Truck" Everybody has that one place in town they know has the best mexican food
My go to tacos is my local gas station, not a taco truck.
Tacon Madre on Edgebrook, we call it "The Bus."
In El Paso it’s really easy, just look at the restaurant parking lot with all the Chichiahuan license plates
Ours is just the local Mexican family
If you say "the taco truck" in Austin, you're possibly referring to one of about 800 spots. Shout out to Santa Barbacha, just had them for the first time last Friday. The barbacoa breakfast taco with eggs, potato, and avocado was amazing.
A good BBQ joint also needs a screen door that has a spring to slam it shut (no hydraulic closers allowed) and a flyswatter hanging inside on the wall next to said door.
Proud TEXAN, born and raised!! You nailed it, but may have underestimated our pride by a little.😁😁😁
Her list is great! Could add the State Fair of Texas, it’s something else, and big of course!
The continental US is often divided into geographical regions like north, south, east and west (and each can be further subdivided). In which one do we Texans consider ourselves to belong? Trick question, none! Texas is just Texas, we’re our own region. ❤️
Lived in New Jersey all my life and I know every word to the “Yellow Rose of Texas”🤠🥀🌼

I am a Texan and I Approve this Message.
As as a fellow Texan I approve this message. Y'all better respect Texas.
I was born (1966) and grew up in Texas (Odessa and Abilene) and have sadly lived away from my great State since 1995, but I will tell you right now, if someone disses Texas, the chip on my shoulder is so huge with pride, I will put them in their place about it! I've lived in Alabama since 1999 and married my beloved Husband in 2005 and the MAIN THING he will tell anyone is that he's proud I'm a Texan. Oh, and don't dare say anything bad about it cause she will school you. And, luckily, there is a BBQ place where we live that serves "low and slow and no sauce" brisket. Still not the same though. I miss Texas, sigh....
Born in Texas, always a Texan. Texas misses you too.
Hey y’all from Lindale, TX!! I only recently got grafted into Texas, and I am constantly amazed and thankful that I get to live in the most amazing state in the US! Literally, I wake up every morning and thank the Lord I get to live here! In the short time I have lived here, I have acquired a healthy dose of Texas pride, let me tell ya! I think it’s contagious!
Being an expat, here's what people that I know don't understand about Texans: bluebonnet season, kolaches, big freeways, big trucks, big Halloween yard decorations, lots of tamales at Christmas, and even BIGGER Christmas yard decorations
My parents were Navy and we were stationed in Corpus Christi for like 5 years. I miss it so much.
Sending you Barbacoa and Big Red. Enjoy!
Nailed it! But... gig em'.

If you're driving 20 miles above the speed limit and people are still passing you, welcome to Texas
20 miles over the limit is the slow lane.

@@brienperkins6062 Blasphemy 🤣 That would drive me insane.
You know how long a drive we got! 🤣
Like we always say in Texas. Wait 5 minutes. The weather will change.
Everyone everywhere says that, and they all think they're the only ones. Americans really don't travel enough.
@@faethe000 Americans don’t travel enough because in France you can get to Germany or a neighboring country East of Germany before you can even come close to getting outside the U.S from Texas.
@@lillyc9283 Americans don't even travel to other states though. I'm serious when I say everyone in every state in the entire country says the 5 minute weather change thing.
@@faethe000 bro I have to travel to my parents house for six hours and they are still in Texas and we are kinda close if you just look the Texas map. We say the weather changes every five minutes because it’s kinda true. Have you ever had to carry a thick coat around just because it was cold for the one hour bus ride that increasing started to climb it’s way up to 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit?
Edit: to only find out that during the time that you were in school it was a nice day but then when you step outside after school ends it starts to rain?
@@lillyc9283 If you ever decide to visit any other states, you'll find the weather changes just as often everywhere else, too.
The fact that you think this makes Texas special just underscores that you don't know anything about other places.
Yup! I’m a BIN (Born In Nacogdoches) and the pride of being a BIN is enormous! The oldest town in Texas, home of the Stone Fort, and brick streets downtown. And the weather? It was 70 the day before we got 8 inches of snow this week.
Texas-ism from a true blooded texan. If the locals aren't looking for shelter when the tornado sirens sound then you are probably going to be fine.
Same for us in Alberta. Usually we sit in the garage and have a beer or continue with what we are doing when we get the tornado warning.
If you are a hard head west Texan that siren just means go look at the sky like my husband does. My kin riding out hurricanes are just as bad. Great grandma rode out the 1900 storm in a tree according family legend.

I’m from Texas. When I left for college, I wore a Texas pendant necklace every single day.
My aunt's husband's job transferred them to another state. Before they moved she bought a Texas pendant and wore it every day. She said, "if ever I'm in some horrible accident and they can't identify my body at least they will know to send what is left to Texas."
The fact that we have our own pledge of allegiance to Texas in school, my husband is from Colorado and explaining that to him was funny.
I spent a year in Houston, Texas (1995-1996). It was the best year of my life!
Way to represent, Jennifer!! Loved it. Sad native Texan here: I've never been to a Buc-ee's. The closest one is like 3 hours away and it's only been there recently. I have driven across the the state so I don't know how I've missed it, but I've never even seen one. Correction: I've probably seen one long ago, but my dad would have been driving and that man stops for nothing. LOL
It's worth taking a day trip to see!
Yes, Texas Dad's are known for their gigantic bladders. That's why us kids in the back seat kept all our empty Dr. Pepper bottles. LOL
I took my sister from NY to visit Buc-ees🤣.
I've been learning English on Cambly and I have a Texan tutor. And I'm saying that he's like the nicest tutor I've met up to now (I've worked with 24 tutors so far). He's very serious with his teaching job, spending lots of time to improve his lessons and support students even when it's his days off. Not many English tutors/teachers would do the same thing I say. I mean to work with their whole heart.
Been in Alabama my whole life. That being said I respect Texas so much and other than here it's my next best place I'd like to live.
All my ancestors came from Alabama and Georgia to Texas after the Civil War. Back atcha Brother!
I have Texas everything I love my Texas will never ever leave. So so proud!!
SATX here, and nothing on this Earth is better than HEB and Buc-ee’s. The world would be better if the world only had those 2 places as grocery stores and gas stations 🧐

As a person who travels in an RV, Texas is very generous in providing places to stay.

No biggie, we all should know by now that they're included. Don't tread on me, or any other self-respecting Texican.
Being from Texas my whole life i feel like you kinda nailed it. If you forgot anything which is actually a stretch then maybe potato salad with the BBQ. Its kinda important
It's pronounced waterburger. 😀No self-respecting Texan would pronounce it any other way.
So true!

Not by this native Texan who was born in Texas almost 80 years ago and lived in Corpus Christi (original home of Whataburger) for 12 years.
