    Honey Butter, on my!

    Whataburger fans have two more reasons to be happy with new supermarket items

    Nicole Appleby
    Jun 20, 2014 | 11:29 am

    Since my family moved to Houston from the Northeast last year, my 16-year-old brother has become a die-hard fan of Whataburger. From the moment he tasted the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit breakfast sandwich, he was hooked. It became such a running joke in my family that I tweeted thanks to the fast-food chain for making him so happy.

    Now Whataburger fans (including my brother) have more to get excited about: Two of its favorite products are now available in H-E-B and Central Market stores. The grocery chain is offering a retail version of Whataburger's famous honey butter, which is a key ingredient in the chicken biscuit sandwich, and its premium pork sausage, which is featured in taquitos and its Breakfast on a Bun.

    "We've heard loud and clear from our customers, especially on social media, they love the Honey Butter and wanted us to bottle it," Whataburger senior vice president Dino Del Nano said in a statement.

    These new items come on the heels of last year's introduction of Whataburger-branded ketchup (in original and spicy versions) and mustard for sale at H-E-B.

    We have a call out to the Whataburger folks to find out how much the new items retail for and will update the story as soon as we hear from them.

    Whataburger Honey Butter is now for sale at H-E-B and Central Market stores.

    Houston company ranks No. 13 worldwide on new Forbes Global 2000 list

    More than 60 Texas-based companies appear on Forbes’ 2025 list of the world’s 2,000 biggest publicly traded companies, and nearly half come from Houston.

    Among Texas companies whose stock is publicly traded, Spring-based ExxonMobil is the highest-ranked at No. 13 globally.

    Rounding out Texas’ top five are Houston-based Chevron (No. 30 globally), Dallas-based AT&T (No. 35 globally), Austin-based Oracle (No. 66 globally), and Austin-based Tesla (No. 69 globally).

    Ranking first in the world is New York City-based J.P. Morgan Chase.

    Forbes compiled this year’s Global 2000 list using data from FactSet Research to analyze the biggest public companies based on four metrics: sales, profit, assets, and market value.

    “The annual Forbes Global 2000 list features the companies shaping today’s global markets and moving them worldwide,” said Hank Tucker, a staff writer at Forbes. “This year’s list showcases how despite a complex geopolitical landscape, globalization has continued to fuel decades of economic growth, with the world’s largest companies more than tripling in size across multiple measures in the past 20 years.”

    The U.S. topped the list with 612 companies, followed by China with 317 and Japan with 180.

    Here are the rest of the Texas-based companies in the Forbes 2000, grouped by the location of their headquarters and followed by their global ranking.
