Sonic Drive-in and Braum’s, both of which have locations in Seminole, topped the list of a survey that asked the question, “which Oklahoma-made goods inspire the most pride today?”

MarketBeat.com, a leading financial media company, surveyed 3,015 respondents and asked Oklahomans to name the products that make them beam with state pride. The results were as follows: #1 Sonic Drive-In The retro-inspired fastfood chain famous for slushes and drive-up service. Oklahomans love that their state gave the nation a reason to linger in the car a little longer - with cherry limeades in hand.

#2 Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Family-owned chain combining ice cream parlors, grocery, and dairy production, supplied by its massive farm in Tuttle. For locals, a trip to Braum’s isn’t just dessert - it’s a family tradition wrapped in waffle cones.

#3 Head Country BBQ Sauce (Ponca City) A nationally distributed sauce brand rooted in Oklahoma barbecue. Ask any Oklahoman, and they’ll tell you this sauce belongs on just about everything, barbecue or not. #4 Prairie Artisan Ales (Oklahoma City) Innovative craft beers known for bold flavors and artistic labels. Locals love that every bottle feels like a conversation piece - equal parts art, attitude, and Oklahoma pride. #5 Round House Jeans (Shawnee) Durable work jeans and overalls made in Oklahoma since 1903. For Oklahomans, they’re more than denim - they’re a stitched reminder of the state’s grit and work ethic.

Some highlights from other parts of the country include: In Arizona, locals take pride in something a bit more enduring than a souvenir treat: PING golf clubs. Founded in Phoenix in the late 1950s, the brand grew from a garage workshop into a global name, yet it remains distinctly Arizonan.

Californians, unsurprisingly, crowned In-NOut Burger. For them, the burger joint is more than fast food; it’s a rite of passage, complete with whispered tips about the not-sosecret menu.

Coloradans kept things sweet with Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, the Durango-born brand that turned handmade fudge and caramel apples into a nationwide favorite.

Kentuckians, meanwhile, took a swing with the Louisville Slugger, a bat that’s powered generations of baseball dreams and still stands as a symbol of America’s pastime.

Marylanders weren’t about to let food pride pass them by. Their pick? Old Bay Seasoning - that famous red-and-yellow tin that locals sprinkle on everything from crabs to popcorn, insisting life simply tastes better with it.

New Jerseyans looked to comfort food too, with Campbell’s Soup emerging as their pride and joy. Since 1869, the iconic redand- white cans have been a kitchen staple, warming families for over a century.

Perhaps less surprising, New Yorkers opted for luxury: Tiffany & Co. For locals, it’s more than jewelry - it’s a blue box that helped define Fifth Avenue as a global symbol of glamor.

And in Ohio, the choice was all about rubber hitting the road: Goodyear Tires, a nod to Akron’s heritage as the “Rubber Capital of the World.”

Together, these choices tell a story of not only the products themselves, but also reveal how people view their states. Some are proud of food, others of fashion or industry - but all see these items as proof that American ingenuity, craftsmanship, and taste never really go out of style.

Matt Paulson, founder of MarketBeat.com says: “American-made goods represent more than the things you buy - they’re part of people’s identity. When someone in New Jersey talks about Campbell’s Soup or a Californian raves about In-N-Out, it goes beyond the product. It’s about pride in where they’re from and the stories those brands carry with them.”
