The Texas-California Sriracha Brawl is Now a Taiwanese Cartoon

Attempts to lure the makers of Sriracha to Texas aren’t going unnoticed – although this latest round of attention may not be what the popular hot sauce is after.

Yesterday, a bipartisan group of Texas politicians, business people and agricultural representatives visited Huy Fong Foods in Irwindale, California – the company that makes Sriracha sauce.

This video's no different, as an avatar of Gov. Rick Perry melts California Gov. Jerry Brown with a douse of the red sauce, the entire Sriracha delegation meets their doom at the Huy Fong plant, and Texans and Californians alike burst into gobs of condiment.

The video takes some equally unsubtle digs at Texas job poaching, asking "Maybe Huy Fong Foods can catch a ride with Toyota?"
