USA made in China
I was given a Maple Leaf CANADA pen for Christmas that proudly states Made in the USA. In fact all of the stuff we have been given that proudly displays the word Canada or the Maple leaf is made in the USA. This includes mugs t-shirts and winter wear. This got me wondering so I looked at some USA paraphernalia at a couple stores around here and most, including flags said MADE IN CHINA. The large minority of USA merchandise was made in the USA.
Some what ironic I think.
Just an observation of the globalization of mass produced merchandise and why I am preferring hand made more and more when I can get it in my budget.
