Most famous brand per U.S. state

[Admiral Yi]

Granted, most of Maryland's biggest organizations are government, medical or financial, but because it's only a few blocks north of the DC line on Connecticut Avenue, they label the whole state with it?  That's the corporate brand?  What, nobody's ever heard of Black & Decker? Under Armour? Purdue?  Marriott?

Pfft, weak.

GEICO commercials air once every 8 seconds.  So lighten up Francis.

Only vodka I really like is Zubrowka

Yeah, that's quite a delicacy.  I was introduced to it, on the one hand, as some exciting contraband like absinthe, since bison grass wasn't an approved ingredient in the US; but on the other hand, as a spirit best served in a plastic tumbler with ice cubes and a ton of generic apple juice.

It's like liquid strudel

Whereas the university that bears the state's name is so deep in the middle of the state

edit: Plus Flo and all that.

Flo shills for Progressive.

Yeah, that sucks ass, too. 

What's Flo?

So are USAA insurance commercials, yet Texas isn't smeared with it when they see them.

USAA is conducting an ad campaign at the moment.

GEICO never has down time.  They never let up.  They are always on.  They never sleep.  They just keep going and going.  And then when you think they can't do another one, there it is.  They're an infinite loop.  A loop without end.  One with no foreseeable termination.  After humans go extinct all that will be left are cockroaches and lizards with English accents.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Which of these do you guys recognise (if any)?

4,7, 9 and 12.

The vodka is pretty special, the beers less so but they are sold in my local corner shops, Tyskie is the best of the three IMO.

I wish DirecTV were here.  They have better commercials.  Super Creepy Rob Lowe.

Super Creepy Rob Lowe was great, because it's Rob Lowe.  Arm Curtain Rob Lowe and Skinny Arms Rob Lowe don't make any sense.

[MadImmortalMan]

These seem to be what an ad agency would consider "top brands" in a branding sense and an "I wish they were my client" sense. They aren't necessarily the biggest companies with the most cash or whatever. Otherwise, Ohio would be P&G and Texas would be Exxon.

I would have thought that Microsoft is a bigger and more famous brand then Starbucks.

Super Creepy Rob Lowe was great, because it's Rob Lowe. 

I was at a bar somewhere recently when that commercial was on.  One young lady near me said to another that she's still f*ck Super Creepy Rob Lowe, I guess for pretty much the same reason.

Starbucks is a preferred brand of Apple users, so they're leveraging both consumer demos.

Yeah like I said, it's about branding. MSFT has like seven times the market cap of SBUX too.
