sc49erfan15 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Obvious ones: Washington, Oregon, MIssouri, Arkansas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Maine, Michigan, Tennessee, Colorado. If you'd asked me the question "Name a company based in _____" I'd have answered that respective company.No idea what Great Harvest Bread Co. (Montana), Carrs (Alaska), Taco John's (Wyoming), Allsup's (New Mexico), Gino's (WV) or Zappos (Nevada) even are. How is Nevada not something casino or Las Vegas-related? And I know it's technically Yum!, but how is Kentucky not KFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know it's technically Yum!, but how is Kentucky not KFC?Zappos is a HUGE online retailer, to the tune of likely more than $2 billion a year in revenue (most recent I could find was $1.6 in 2010, which has likely grown considerably since then thanks to working with Amazon). Casinos make a lot, but the entire strip combined only earns about $4 billion a year, I believe (can't remember the exact number). Anyway, Zappos has literally every kind of shoe you'd want, and killer customer service. Highly recommend.I find AZ's choices a little puzzling, with major brands like PetSmart and US Airways HQ'd here. Also, LOL @ Taco Johns in WY... not much to choose from, apparently.

nuordr Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 This alcohol one needs to have Kentucky with Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Brown-Forman (Woodford Reserve, Early Times), Heaven Hill, and Wild Turkey covered across the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 there's an alcohol one out there too.This one?PBR has tov be more iconic than Miller at this point, but if Wisconsin has to be stuck with a sh~tty beer, howcome Michigan gets Belle Isle and not Stroh's?And on what planet is Grain Belt more well-known than Hamm's?

Funky Bunky Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think Google or Warner Brothers (or another Hollywood brand) might be more well known than Apple. It's debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Pennsylvania's is perfect, America's oldest brewery-YuenglingExcept that mostly college kids drink it, and higher end places don't even carry it. PA has a ton of excellent craft breweries. Not up there with CA or New England, but I believe you can by Victory nationwide, so as someone in his mid 30s, I'd make that PAs beer now.

vicfurth Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 It's true! And allsups is a convenience store chain in NewMex. Trying to remember if that or another was taken over by Stripes. I think town and country was taken by stripes. (Family lives in SEastern NewMex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
