Isn't that funny? They think that all states are as tiny as CT, which is about 50-60 miles total north to south!! They don't realize that the New England states can fit within TX, with room left over, LOL!

The DFW metroplex alone is larger than Connecticut and Rhode island combined.

Like a post I read in the Houston board--saying Houston is larger than the state of New Jersey!

Non-Texans certainly don't understand!

Maybe not:
City of Houston ~ 627.8 square miles
State of New Jersey ~ 8,721 square miles

Probably referring to the entire metro area of Houston, which is upwards of 10K square miles.

The list is missing Whataburger. Even I don't understand it. I do love Dr. Pepper, though. Mr. Pibb is just okay.

At least back in the day Whataburger burgers were really like old fashioned hamburgers. No idea if they are like that now. I thought they were very good. I believe they started in Corpus Christi (as did HEB).

I still feel that Whataburger has become more of a bandwagon brand. I'm a native Texan and I swear I don't ever remember them being as popular as they've been over the past few years. It seems like the chain had always been somewhat of an afterthought, but now everybody and their mama is claiming it's their all-time favorite.

...or maybe I've just been living under the proverbial rock. You know, eating at real restaurants and all.
