I’d say Aeroflot was a brand name and more tenuously Big Boy is (was???) a burger franchise in the US |

ah, yes ... Aeroflot ... though the brand has never been that relevant to the western world...
by the way I used to fly with Aeroflot in th 80s with
the plane coming from former Leningrad (now St. Petersburg again) from former East-Berlin to Athens/Greece |

Not the first time…Uniqlo and MacDonalds are at least two previous namechecks |
Or in the case of 'Perfume', about 30 ! |

I can't say I've heard of 'JanSport backpacks' before, so whatever the song's about will be all new to me!
