There's an Australian ice cream parlour chain called Royal Copenhagen, that has no ties to Denmark as far as I can tell.
In Hong Kong it gets crazy with the way they try to market things as being Japanese. They sell the Japanese version of Pantene shampoo, despite Pantene being a European brand, and the stuff actually being made in Thailand, and the fact that they have to stick a label on the back with product information in Chinese to legally sell it. There are these Edo brand potato crisps that are kinda like Pringles. There are a few lines of Japanese text on the tube, but the rest of it's in Chinese. They're made in Korea by a Korean company, for the Hong Kong market - they don't exist in Japan at all. It's amazing how much more marketable a few lines of Japanese text makes a product in HK.
