That is to say, can "we" ask if this particular town is in East Texas...? Something like that; see what I mean?

You can ask but there is no guarantee you will get the answer you are looking for.

Correct. Did you know that, or did you need to look it up?

I had to word my question carefully, because the Texans-1 completely ceased to exist, and a totally new franchise was created for Baltimore, absorbing most of the players who had played for the Texans.

I was very excited by the Texans-1,even thlugh I wasn't in Texas, because they played most of their games on Saturday night, which were televised nationally, and there wasn't much pro football on TV in 1952. The great Chuck Thompson did the games, who also did the Colts in Baltimore for decades.

I knew the Titans and Chiefs. I had to look up the Colts. That was a new one for me.

OK. I'm going to be offline for most of the rest of the day so here is an easy one then just proceed without me confirming the answer when you get it:

Two famous soft drinks thatcare still on the market were invented in Texas. Name each of them and the cities in which they were invented.

Yeah, I figured you might try to lead me off track! LOL

Nope, that's from California. Sweetie Pie's answer was very close

I wouldn's consider Big Red to be anything but a regional. I never heard of it before I came to Texas.

I know Dr. Pepper is right, I'm working on the other. IBC root beer is now in Texas, but it moved here from St. Louis.

Edit:

Having looked up Big Red, I find that it has expanded to 44 states, mostly in the past decade, so maybe the answer you are looking for is its predecessor, Sun Tang Red Cream Soda. Or maybe you wanted Waco as the correct location.
