The Atlantic has identified the most famous brand from each of the 50 states. Can you guess the brands for each state?

Posted by ty97 Jul 3 '13, 07:19

Notes:
1. It is based on state in which the brand was founded
2. I can't find any official source or methodology, so they may have just done this while paying beer pong.

ST is slow today so ..... GO!

I'm totally stumped for MA, NY, NJ. so many choices. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:28 23
- NJ is already guessed. NY makes sense, though I can see what it's hard. MA makes sense too but I probably would not have guessed it -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:29 22
  - MA - Sam Adama -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Jul 3, 07:32 2

        Hey! I beat him by a minute blind man. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 07:35 1
        
        laughing, yes you did. -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:35
    - the most famous brand in NY must be NY itself...everyone has seen or had a "i Heart NY" tee :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 3, 07:31
    - nope, it's a consumer brand. -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:30 10
      - Calvin Klein? Kodak? GE? -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 07:31 1
        
        IBM? Verizon? Cablevision? -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 07:32
      - is it more NY state or NYC? if it's state, Kodak. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:30 7
        
        Kodak may years ago - but many today probably don't even know it -- nm - decline Jul 3, 07:35
        
        The HQ are in NYC but it by no means an NYC (or even NY) specific brand. -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:31 5
        
        They also probably make the worst company bracket battle annually -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:34 1
        
        if it's Verizon, I don't think so. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:34
