What are some examples of other products that are presented as being American in some way but really arn't?

When my dad was a peace corps volunteer in Iran in the early 1960s he and his friends went to a baker and had him make them a western style birthday cake for a firend's birthday. The baker, having never heard of such a thing had to be carefully instructed on recipe, icing, and decoration. My father spelled out "Happy Birthday John Smith!" as a template for the baker who only spoke and read farsi. Years later my father returned to Iran and was walking down a street in Tehran when he saw a sign in a bakery window in farsi that read "We Make Traditional American Birthday Cakes!" and below it a display of lovely cakes, all exactly like the one they'd had made including the words "Happy Birthday John Smith!"

Pizza Las Vegas But surely the subject of famous song - I have on the radio many times hearing it been.

The Canadian equivalent to this is a "Canadian" bar in Covent Garden called The Maple Leaf. The menu's full of foods named after random Canadian places with zero connection to said places. My favourite was the Nova Scotia Burger, which features pineapple and teriyaki sauce. Nova Scotia is located in the north Atlantic.

There's a chain of pizza delivery places in Canada called http://www.bostonpizza.com/en/m. Seeing ads for this never fails to befuddle my Brookline-born wife.

This is diverging away from your question, but as I was walking around the grocery store looking for amusing American-branded products, I remembered that Lidl often has theme weeks selling foods associated with different countries, and although you've probably encountered it living in Belgium, I thought Americans might get a kick out of seeing what Europe thinks are traditional American foods: https://www.google.com/search?q=McENNEDY+AMERICAN+WAY&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch. And their https://www.google.com/search?q=hatherwood&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch and https://www.google.com/search?q=el+tequito&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch food stereotypes for comparison. Note that if you add corn to anything, like pizza, it becomes "Mexican".

They are not the same as gumdrops and definitely not spice drops, although they may look similar from an American perspective: instead, they are incredibly chewy fruit pastilles.

There is a pizza restaurant in Marburg, Germany called http://www.american-hot.com/menu. It is relatively similar to an American pizza joint, but the names of its pizzas -- for example, Pizza New Jersey, Pizza Las Vegas, Pizza Michigan, Pizza Harlem, and (my favorite) Pizza American Ocean -- have ... dubious connection to the cities or states in question.
