Reply to comment by BRIKHOUS in Toblerone chocolate to cut iconic Matterhorn logo from packaging due to ‘Swissness’ laws by elizabeth-cooper
I know Grand Canyon is in the USA, but I don't associate both directly, so I wouldn't feel betrayed if something with a logo that looks like the Grand Canyon be made somewhere else than the US. I remember from my childhod chocolate filled cookies that looked like Koalas, and I doubt they were made in Australia.

Fair, but not really the point. It's whether you'd think it's made in the US. If someone would think that, then it's misleading, and problematic.

Ha, and that's because, to my knowledge, animals actually work the way you're suggesting for landmarks

That was a No.
And Koalas makes me more think of Australia than the Grand Canyon of USA or the Matterhorn of Switzerland, rather the Alps in general.

Are you from the US? A US person would likely think it was made in the US. Or a brit might think their beans are local if they gave a picture of the thames on the label.
Even if you personally wouldn't feel confused, can you see how a reasonable person might? That's the idea
