In the early days of satellite Super Stations, i used to love the
Carvel spots[1] that said "...in all five boroughs and Miami...";
Janice Gelb sometimes referred toMiami as "the Sixth Burough".

[1] The Atlanta area being a highly-favoured test market, as a
relatively cosmopolitan urban area pretty well isolated from other
urban areas, in those days, i also loved the ads (particularly from 
McDonalds's, i think) on Channel 17 (WTBS)  that had a mice type line
at the bottom of the screen that said "Available only at Atlanta-area
locations."
