We all know everything is bigger in Texas, but everything is weirder here, too. From our crazy, unpredictable weather patterns to our bizarre roadside attractions to our gargantuan portions of food, it can get pretty weird here in the Lone Star State. Here’s just a small sample of some of the strange things us Texans do:
- We sometimes have to turn on both the AC and the heat in the same day in order to survive.

- Pull out our heaviest jackets and winter clothes the moment it dips into the 50s outside.

- Wait until we see a Buc-ee’s on a roadtrip before we stop for a bathroom break.

- Ride a horse to pick up our next burger.

- Eat food bigger than our faces sometimes.

- Create our very own food pyramid.

- Shut down the entire state the moment a little ice forms on the ground.

- Show off our love of guns in every aspect of life, including our BBQ pits.

- Wear summer clothes even in the fall and early winter.

- We build giant cowboy boots, just because we can.
