All right! I found three things in my kitchen that were "Made in USA"

[KansDem]

1) coffee filters
2) toothpaste
3) pliers

I'll look for more this evening when I get home from work! :D

1. amazing huh, remember when everything was made in the USA

they can take that Free trade and shove it.

[grasswire]

2. this could be a fun exercise

It would make an interesting article, or even a television game show.

3. American made pliers--wondering whose?...several

US companies making hand tools moved their HQ's to offshore tax havens.

Coffee filters are "Natural Brew" and toothpaste is "Tom's of Maine."

[HereSince1628]

I sort of expected Channellocks... they are still made in PA

5. The only thing good ...

to come out of the Reagan years was the "Made in America" campaign.

This campaign was about spending a little more for the products that are made in the USA. The result was better quality, and keeping jobs in America.

Now, it is exactly the opposite. Buy cheap crap and move American jobs over seas.

6. i found a wood rolling pin made in the usa at walmart !

for some reason i have a small collection of rolling pins.

i gave all my "made in a foreign country tools" away to the local charity shop when it dawned on me that i used to make these tools....

7. toys from childhood

When we take the kiddos to visit their grandparents, the kids like to play with my husband's toys from the 1970s. Almost all of them say Made in USA. I wonder if ANY of our current toys were made here? :(

A friend of mine bet a guy $100 that he couldn't find a single Made in USA item in the Walmart toy section a couple years ago. He spent a couple hours looking, and found none.

8. I found three things made in the US

Old Overholt Rye - Kentucky

Great Lakes Burning River Ale -Ohio

Columbia Crest Grand Estates Columbia Valley Merlot -Washington state.

9. Surprising

I'd eliminated the pliers and toothpaste. Medicine comes from China , why not tooth paste. Filters , they are cheap, not a surprise. Want to find nothing made in the USA, look at the stuff covering your body. If you wear only US made clothes, you'd better next join a nudist colony. Exception. New Balance shoes. If you wear New Balances' you might not be totally naked.

11. check thrift stores

especially upscale ones. You can still find a few pieces of vintage clothing that were made here. And if, like me, you sew, you can honestly say that the clothes were made in the USA. Sadly, the fabric now usually comes from elsewhere.

13. thats ok. but if your goal is to support the garmet industry

that used to exist on Manhattan, your not accomplishing that goal.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

24. My goal is to

make clothes that actually fit me. Ready to wear garments rarely do.

10. What's your toothpaste doing in your kitchen?

n/t

[aquart]

12. Cleaning jewelry?

[trof]

26. Oh jeez. You should see the weird crap in our kitchen.

My wife is a lovely lady...and I love her dearly...but...
In various drawers...half a dozen lipsticks, a dozen bottles of fingernail polish (and polish remover), a pair of panty hose (in the package), some mardi gras beads, something that looks like a buttonhook (I have no idea. We haven't worn high-button shoes in years.;-)), a half dozen soda bottle caps (in case we buy uncapped soda?), a rubber stamp (wedding bells), dental floss, some old junk mail, and on and on.

She has a chest of drawers in our bedroom, bedside table with drawers, and a whole bathroom of her very own with vanity, drawers, cabinets, wall cabinets.

Why is all this crap in the kitchen?
I don't ask and we maintain a happy and strife-free relationship.

14. Why is your toothpaste in the kitchen?

:shrug:
If you say your spatula is in the bathroom I'm not comin' over for pancakes

[KansDem]

18. Good question. Just bought it and haven't put it away yet...

So I guess I found two things in my kitchen and one thing in transit...

[tridim]

20. LOL

:rofl:

[krispos42]

15. I doubt anything in mine is "Made in USA"

:sigh:

Out of all the things I carry on my person at my job, only three are Made in USA: my Buck knife, my Leatherman, and my Chap-Stick. iPod, cell phone, pants, socks, boots, shirt, belt, wallet, Swiss army knife, underpants... mades Someplace Else.

Well, I guess the money in my wallet, my driver's license, and maybe some of the credit cards are made here, too, but that's getting picky.

<sigh>

[KansDem]

[BigDaddy44]

23. Only one egg?

Time to put them on your shopping list ;)

25. Don't forget

to check your closet.
