Perhaps because the law doesn't really protect them; neither copyright nor trademarks apply to the actual food, in most cases (unless you squeeze that potato mash into a recognisable Mouse Ears shape), and patents being public and expiring mean companies more often keep trade secrets. Intriguingly, the 1893 recipe for Coca-Cola was patented - I wonder what late Victorian coke tasted like?
