SAN ANTONIO -- H-E-B is trying to dispel a few Texas myths in a Super Bowl ad featuring Texas native and country music star Jack Ingram.

Ingram starts out the commercial by explaining that he hears a lot of the typical Texas stereotypes while touring the country. You know, like
how all Texans wear belt buckles, ride horses to work and eat barbecue for every meal.

A sneak preview of the commercial was released on Wednesday.

WATCH:

The San Antonio-based grocery chain will also be launching a social media campaign asking people to tweet what they think makes a
#truetexan.

I remember once going to Florida and being so disappointed that there wasn't an H-E-B. But seriously, I've legit had kids in school who were from other states literally think that we (Texans) took carriages/horses to school. LOL

And unfortunately Heidi and Spencer haven't helped with that stereotype. What with going over there and spouting off about their guns and protecting themselves from crazies. Unless they're planning on shooting themselves, I don't know what crazies are coming near their house.

I'm totally used to the token idiot american on cbb each year now, I used to get crazy mad about it but now just shrug it off.

Louis Theroux also finds the absolute worst of america for his ***in depth exposés*** and they always make my eye twitch.
