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

The bigger TIL for me is that Philadelphia Cream Cheese invented cream cheese

In 1872 William Lawrence, a dairyman from Chester, New York, attempted to make Neufchâtel, a tangy, crumblier cheese product that was popular in Europe at the time. Instead he accidentally added an excessive amount of cream and created a richer, more spreadable cheese, which would eventually be called "cream cheese". 

Can confirm. Philly has a reputation.

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

Wow TIL
