Not real sure we are all in the same church house here. I just toured the
Tobasco bottling facility on Avery Island about three months back and at
that time it was still owned by the McIlhenney family. Its a good short
little tour and not that far off I-10 for anyone who might be passing that
way. I don't believe that Trappeys is made or bottled there. It is bottled
[I think] in New Iberia, La which is on a few miles from Avery Island. As a
matter of fact, almost every bottle of hot sauce that you pick up is bottled
in New Iberia. Almost every house brand and off brand, yep, you got
it.....New Iberia. I kind of looked around New Iberia [very small town] for
a plant big enough to bottle all that hot sauce. It must be huge. The
Tabasco plant is very small and they turn out 250,000 bottles of Tobasco a
day with labels in thirty two different languages. Thats not to mention all
of the other Tobasco products[and there are a few] that they make. They had
things in their gift shop [and samples too] that I had never seen or heard
of. If there have been any changes in ownership it may be in their web site
which is WWW.Tobasco.com
And if you go for a visit, and if you go to the gift shop, take lots and
lots of money honey.......
