A water tower painted to resemble a can of "3 Minute Oats" (sponsored by the Only National Oats company), tied to the tiny unincorporated community of Oatmeal, Texas and its joint "Oatmeal Festival" with neighboring Bertram, TX, held since 1978 after the town organized to get itself back onto official state maps. Sources place the physical tower/attraction in the vicinity of Bertram, the larger neighboring town with which Oatmeal jointly hosts its festival -- this location ambiguity (Oatmeal vs. Bertram) is recorded as a known unknown, not resolved to false precision.
