Funny how these things change - 10-15 years ago, Wisconsin was easily Miller. Before that, Schlitz/Pabst. But Harley is the first thing that comes to mind at this point I guess.

What about McDonalds - isnt that a IL brand, while CAT is a decent brand I would think McD's is about as big as it gets...

7-Eleven was founded in Dallas, Texas.
It should be on the map instead of Dr.Pepper.

With Illinois, I would have thought Sears.

For Michigan, you can swap GM with Ford.
