Don't know how true this is, but what the hell.....


GREAT WAY TO "BUY USA & CANADA" AND NOT FROM CHINA!!
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, etc.


The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods".
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China?
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 our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public;
you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are:
690-692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA .
If the first 3 digits start with:
00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA 30 - 37 ... FRANCE
40 - 44 ... GERMANY 47 ... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN 50 ... UK
BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.


We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except a politician or an official, a society where enterprise gains no reward and thrift no privileges - Winston Churchill

You can make stuff happen, you can watch stuff happen, or you can sit around and wonder what the hell happened. - Phil Harris, Capt., F/V Cornelia Marie

You should enjoy your work. If you don't enjoy your work, well.... then... it's just work. Call in sick instead while you go and find a new career. - Bill Murray
