This has to do with with the mixture of honeys and apples being associated with Vermont in Japan, though I'm not quite sure how wildly known that is or why.

It's because there was a book called "Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health" that kicked off a health fad called the "Vermont health system" in Japan. It included drinking apple cider vinegar and honey. The curry then appropriated the name for its health connotations.

I hope this isn't rude, but how did you know that?
