There were a series of commercials for Pace "Picante Sauce" in the 90's of the formula:

Some cowboys
campfire time
They start eating salsa. Not like, with anything, just eating salsa.
New guy says "Try some of my salsa."
one of the other guys reads the label and says "This stuff is made in New York City."
Everyone else yells "NEW YORK CITY?!?!"
cut to announcer proclaiming Pace is made of pure roots and toots for the ultimate shit kicker rodeo experience
cut back to new guy being hilariously tied up or otherwise cowboy punished.

It's funny because it insinuates that Texans can and will read.
