General Motors and Michigan, Starbucks and Washington, Walmart and Arkansas, Apple and California.
A new map sweeping the Internet entitled the Corporate States of America lists the brands, albeit subjectively, that the creator, Steve Lovelace feels best fits each of the 50 states of the union.
The criteria for each brand were that it is still based in the state of origin and that of course is still in business as of 2012.

here in MN it’s lutefisk and leftards.
Maybe I should read first but who is Steve Lovelace?
He seem focused on retail. He must be kinda young and non a techie. I wouldn’t know where to associate most major companies.
Washing I think of Boeing or Microsoft. Idaho is potatoes and skiing. The logo should be someone sling on a mountain of mashed potatoes. Oregon is a place holder between California and Washington. California would be fruits nut and vegetables form the central valley. Then there are the fruits nuts and vegetables from Hollywood and San Francisco. Arizona and New Mexico are kinda the same with Stuckey’s and turquoise jewelery. I was born in Texas so it should know for me. I have been to New Iberia and visited the Tabasco sauce place. It plausible for Louisiana.
#1 no cheese and a large coke is my staple diet.
They are in OK, NM, LA, and MS. I think Arkansas too.
WB trivia... do you know what the small numbers on the lip of the ketchup packs mean? (1 thru 5)
I still take affront that Texas is not listed with either Whataburger or even Exxon.
I know you can get Whataburger Ketchup (both styles) and mustard at HEB now. Order of fries with spicey ketchup :)
The higher the number the higher the sugar content in the pack. The number 1 is a low sugar and the ketchup looks more brown due to higher by ratio vinegar content. 5’s have the highest sugar by ratio and thus have a brighter red color to them.
JC Penny started in Kemmerer, WY in 1902.
Currently Hq. in Plano, TX
I give up....what do the numbers on the ketchup packets mean?

or so I’ve been told.
Hmmmm....I did not know that. I prefer the spicy ketchup - will be on the lookout ;)
Yup, when I was growing up, we had Norwest, which merged with Wells Fargo sometime back in the 90s.
Interesting. It seems in some states (New Mexico, West Virginia, Wyoming) the most iconic brand in the state is still pretty much a regional brand.
Yeah - what?
Looks the same font, but maybe it’s something else?
I call nonsense.
Never noticed them before, but we have a few packets from stores that give us too many. The Hunt’s is 10, and I have a bunch of Red Golds. They have all different numbers, including 7 and 11. I doubt they’re checking each teaspoon for sugar content!
They do alot more than printers. And I know you can’t nail down the horse stables as any one overwhelming the game. Maybe a bourbon, but is it absolutely omnipotent?
You’re probably thinking Wells Fargo.
Allsups for New Mexico...I can see it...
