TIL Philadelphia Cream Cheese is produced in New York, and always has been since it was invented by William Lawrence in 1872. He named his company Philadelphia to market off of the city's reputation (en.wikipedia.org)

Doubt the Philadelphia I get is produced in NY. Sure is made on some town in São Paulo.

For Germany, it's in Bad Fallingbostel, halfway between Hamburg and Hannover.

Mine's probably from some peak suburbia town with a name stolen from England in southern Ontario.
