New York state used to be the dominant apple-produced in North America (Washington state is now; NY is second-highest); and these apples were shipped around the world from NYC.

Some nice Bullshit in the Salwen site! It does not surprise that BIG is used often from the US e.g Big Mac etc, etc. May I offer some more superlatives? Big Bull, Big Mouth, Big Noise, Big ****, Big Con, Big Bang - the list can go on forever!

maybe there was a big apple tree there or planted to signify new york being formed, that's my theory.
