No. You out and out said that they were by your very subject line. Someone
who reads that would think that those desserts are common in America.
They're not. I mentioned the Zoo dessert in a previous reply. I see that
Farrell's is still making it but with larger animals now. Here it is:

Apparently the only Farrell's left are those in CA. So would I call this an
American dessert? No. A CA dessert? No. A Farrell's dessert? Yes.

Get it now?
