New York Brand Texas Toast just makes a mockery of the whole "place names as brand names" thing...
Philadelphia Cream Cheese is made by Kraft Foods, headquartered in Northfield, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.
Poland Spring Water does not come from the country of Poland but from five sources in the state of Maine, one which is named Poland Spring. (Still, a 4-out-of-5 chance of not-Poland-Spring).
Avon is headquartered in New York City, nowhere near the British river where Shakespeare hung out.
You don't know WHERE your New York Pizza, Philly Cheesesteak, Boston Baked Beans or Memphis Barbeque comes from. Tex-Mex could be all Tex, all Mex or neither.
And Jim Ochsner, in addition to the New Jersey New York teams, the Dallas Cowboys currently play in Arlington, Texas, and previously in Irving, Texas. I got a kick out of calling them the "Irving Cowboys". Of course, there was quite a period of controversy leading up to the awkward naming of one MLB team "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim".
And Subway has thousands of stores in areas without underground rapid transit systems.
