If my wife would let me, Tony's would be the only "spice" in my house. I haven't figured out what it isn't good on.
As a Bama boy born and bred, I agree with all of the above! :p
Born in Baton Rouge here and you for sure have to be from the south, know someone from the south or visited to know what this means.

One addition too - for Thanksgiving, you dont roast your turkey. You deep fry it out in the back yard.
You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.
I've had to do this a couple times this year!
I agree with the spider assessment based on my time in Huntsville. And snakes, too.
