Texas is the best state in the world, and I'm pretty sure the 27 million people there would have to agree. I lived in Texas until I was 18, and I have to say that no other state could compare. Texas BBQ, Dr. Pepper, and the State Fair are just some of the best parts of Texas, but here are 24 other reasons, too. These aren't all the signs, but it's a good start.
1. The sky in Texas is more grand than anywhere else.
2. You are very prideful of your home state.
That famous Texas pride is real. No one will ever convince you that there is a better place than Texas.
3. Texas BBQ is like a hug from the Lord.
Like is there any other kind?
4. Everyone goes to the high school football games.
5. And you gave/got a mum at Homecoming.
6. The Mexican food in Texas is so good that it has ruined any Mexican place that isn't in Texas.
7. You have probably had a million breakfast tacos.
8. Texas has the best country music.
King George and Willie, two Texans, two of the best country singers in history.
9. You favorite flowers are bluebonnets.
10. Hearing people call cokes "soda" or "pop" makes you cringe.
11. Instead of water, 60% of a Texan's body weight is Dr. Pepper.
12. Summer night bonfires are a tradition.
13. Blue Bell is the only ice cream you eat.
14. At some point in your childhood, your family made you crack open pecans.
And with your bare hands too!
15. Whataburger will always be your favorite fast food place.
16. You made sure to go to Six Flags at least once every year.
17. Texans have their own language.
18. You're convinced only Texans know how to drive, and everyone else is too slow.
19. You grew up watching Brian Loncar commercials.
20. If you're driving down I-35, you have to stop and get kolaches.
21. You have random objects that are shaped like Texas.
22. Because Texas is so big, we measure distance in time.
"Oh yeah, Austin is only 3 hours away."
