The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad does not actually go to Santa Fe, and it appears that it never has.
The town of Mount Dora Florida does not have any feature even vaguely resembling a mountain (I suppose the name could mean another thing entirely, but, best not go there).
As a kid with a grandfather who was Welsh, I was genuinely confused about the dish Welsh Rabbit. Wait, what? It’s just cheese on toast? No rabbits were harmed in the making? Ok…
Because it isn’t, and never has been “Welsh rabbit”. It’s “Welsh Rarebit”, as is “Welsh Delicacy”
I always wondered what was the mountain you can supposedly view from Mountain View, California.
My understanding is that it might have actually been originally called “rabbit,” as a joke.
Wikipedia disagrees:
Good sir, if you’re going to call out a man of 1/4 Welsh heritage on the proper name of a Welsh dish, at least have the good etiquette to click my ‘reply’ link, quote or ‘@‘ me so I am alerted to reply and defend my Welsh honor. I see @kenobi_65 and @Thudlow_Boink have done so in my stead, and I thank them for it.
For all we know the rabbits in Wales used to taste a lot like cheese.
I guess you have to tread Caerphilly around this one…
I saw a commercial last night (I watch a lot of bad TV in the evening) for some kind of Overglorified Wet-Wipe that is supposed to get you clean.
It’s called Skunky. Really? What the hell?
One and all: Thank you for the polite but firm correction. Another myth is BUSTED.
Eh, not really. As @Thudlow_Boink pointed out, the entire name seems to have been pretty much a joke, including the ‘Welsh’ part, meant as a pejorative, not necessarily a country of origin: “Poor man’s” rabbit.
In any case, I think we can all agree that it’s a pretty confusing name 
The railroad line that goes through the town where I grew up was historically called the Atlantic, Tennessee, and Ohio Railroad. It’s approximately 40 miles of track, entirely in western North Carolina. It’s nowhere near the Atlantic Ocean, Tennessee, or Ohio. I feel like 19th century railroad companies liked to give themselves very ambitious names. (Nowadays, the line is just a pretty minor Norfolk Southern branch line, although there has been talk of using it for commuter trains between Charlotte and its northern suburbs.)
On a completely different note, I never found red delicious apples to be particularly delicious.
You could see the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west, if there weren’t all those buildings in the way, which there weren’t when the town was named. The Santa Cruz Mountains to the west plus the Diablo Range to the east form the Santa Clara Valley, which today doesn’t seem very valley-like unless you can get an unobstructed view.
Maybe Mountainview, Arkansas?
Better than Plainview?
The miracle is that it’s still made, and that anyone ever buys it.
My friend once bought a container of sea salt. Oddly, it came from Utah.
Inland seas totally count! 
That might make sense if they called it a sea. They do not. They call it a lake.
Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. They should call it “Roundtine”. Sorry
Boston Cream Pie is not a pie, though it does appear to have come from Boston. I don’t want to admit how old I was before I learned that.
Snickers bars are in no way funny.
