I can attest to this from personal experience. I once worked on a product that I designed in Canada. All the parts were manufactured in China. The only thing done in the US was putting in the five screws to hold it all together. That was enough to earn it a cute little stars and stripes sticker.

    Fucking hell. I mean we all suspect it and anyone who's opened anything can see what's inside but when you hear it from someone first hand it still hits different. Thanks for sharing!

    I bought a pack of hot sauces bottles. The peppers were grown in the US, the sauce was brewed in Flordia, shipped to china (presumably in barrels), bottled and packaged, and ship back to the US. We cant even bottle our own shit any more.

    This reminds me of a domestic plastic molding shop that couldn't make their molds. Instead they sent CAD to China to get the tools made. I think it was a part of SmarterEveryDay's oddysey into trying to make a BBQ brush in the US.
