Got this from an unknown source but thought I'd pass it on.
If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan . |

This is not true. The prefixes used to designate countries refers to where the bar code originated, not the product itself. Depending on the distribution and supply chains of a company, this may or may not accurately tell you where a product was made.
For example, I have a Nikon scope box and mount on my desk. Both barcodes start with 018. The mount was made in the US. The scope is from the Philippines. ETA: Furthermore, a lot of smaller companies with limited distribution chains will use a shorter bar code, or none at all. |

Thanks for the tip +1 I'd rather support capitalism in China over communism in America. |

Thanks for the tip +1 I'd rather support capitalism in China over communism in America. Yep. Every time I see a Made in the US sticker, I try to find out where in the US it was made. Michigan? Gotta be union so let's buy the Chinese version. Thank god for those "Proudly made by Union labor" labels on stuff. I might have mistaken it for something I want to buy. |

I wonder how many of the Union bashers have ever done an actual days work. 40-70 hours a week for the last 16 years uninterrupted. Fuck unions, fuck their socialist propaganda, and fuck unions hacks. I can email you my latest USW email or any of the emails they've been sending daily for the last 5 years if you have questions about the political agenda of unions. |
