Everything is Made
in China?
Where is Made in USA?
Okay, this is my limit!
This just beats all! I picked up a gallon of apple juice at our local grocery, and on the side of the jug it says, "Contains Concentrate from China." Huh? What the heck! America can't even bottle their own apple juice any more? No wonder it tasted terrible!
I've had it with all the "Made in China" stuff and I'm not buying anymore. I had a revelation actually around Christmas time when I recieved some clothing in the mail from the relatives. They all had a label that said, "Made in China," or "Made in Indonesia." This is crazy, don't they make anything in the USA anymore?
I guess not. I typed "Made in USA" in Ebay, and the majority of stuff was "dog beds" with occassional, "vintage... Made in USA" tools and kitchenware. They don't even have "Made in the USA" womens clothing.When did all of this happen? I can remember when I was little, anything we could get from China was party goods or trinkets, such as from the Orintal Trading Company. Anything desireable from China was just the dishes, you know, everyone wanted some "China". The only thing we got from Mexico was Mexican blankets!
I guess I've been "sleeping" all these years, taken care of the kids, and working my butt off, and not even noticing what has been happening in America. This is a big Wakeup Call for me!
Here's some labels I've found on my clothing.

Walmart seems to be the biggest China dealer around. I'll bet everything in Walmart is from China. Even when I was looking for some house slippers in the JC Penny's online catalog, they all said "Made in China"
Do not buy any flip flops from Walmart! "Well, after wearing them my feet would be red and sort of tingly, but I figured that it was just because it was first flip flops of the year so my feet need to get used to them. Well I have now had what appears to be a chemical burn for 11 days, (As of July 3rd) I really thought it would just go away on it's own. It is absolutely not going away very well at all...Read more
Everyone knows that stuff made overseas in China, Indonsesia, etc. is poor quality and doesn't last long, and I've known this for many years. I guess that is why it's cheap. But when you have 4 kids, you go for the cheap stuff to stretch the dollars.
I am just shocked that it seems everything in my house is Made in China! I'm not buying anymore of their junk!
Even
though I didn't find much on Ebay, here's a link to a webpage of some products
made in the USA.
