LUBBOCK, Texas – A sign war between two Texas businesses has drawn viral attention. One business started the beef and the other has been offering ice-cold comebacks.
According to Lubbock Online, the friendly feud between the businesses started in May when Pure Water Ice and Tea Company displayed a sign that offered Texas Tech head football coach Kliff Kingsbury free drinks.

Wendy’s, located at the intersection of Fourth Street and Frankford Avenue, responded with their own proposal, offering Kingsbury “food and drink for free.”
Pure Water called out Wendy’s, saying its sign looked awfully familiar to theirs, and Wendy’s responded with, “Something else is familiar, our fresh never frozen beef.”
