Keysons

Keysons is a fictional company that appears in the animated television series "King of the Hill." The company is portrayed as a manufacturer of propane accessories and related products, similar to the show's primary focus on the fictional propane company, Arlen, Texas. Keysons is often depicted as a competitor to Arlen, and its products are sometimes seen as being of lower quality or less reliable, though this is a subjective portrayal within the context of the show.

The company's name itself, Keysons, is a portmanteau that combines "key" and "son," possibly alluding to a legacy or family-run business, though no specific details about its ownership or history are ever elaborated upon in the series. Characters within "King of the Hill" occasionally interact with Keysons products, either through purchase or by observing their performance relative to Arlen's offerings. These interactions serve to further the comedic narrative and provide opportunities for character development and plot progression. Keysons, while not a central element of the show, contributes to the world-building and the ongoing satire of American consumerism and the propane industry. Its presence reinforces the established dynamics and rivalries within the fictional universe of "King of the Hill."
