Earlier I was cleaning up my email and ran accross this, it a guide to barcodes so you can tell what is from where when shopping.
The whole world is concerned about 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, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA", so they don't show from which country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:
690-692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA
30 - 37 FRANCE
40 - 44GERMANY
471 ... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ...UK
BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.
We need every boost we can get! Pass this on to everybody on your E-Mail Contact List!!
If the government won't help us, we MUST help ourselves.

Yea its called the crap-o-meter. The lower the number the better the product. Except for france......should be somewhere in the 6's.......
That reminds me, i have an old french rifle for sale. Never fired, only dropped once.........
