Old Bohemian Beer is brewed in New York. Dodge trucks aren't made in Dodge. the Old Dutch mustard company started in Manhattan, moved to Brooklyn, and then to Great Neck. Most Nova lox was never in Nova Scotia. These, like Icelandic, are brand names, not descriptions of origin. Just don't make unwarranted assumptions.

Real attempts at deception use pseudowords like creme and crispy, which can't be faulted for inaccuracy because have no defined meanings.
