Made in USA flashdrive for $12?

[american lockpicker]

I was in Krogers today so I had a look at the batteries(looking for Ns and AAAAs) and noticed a Duracell flashdrive for $12 and on the back of the package it said made in USA. How is this possible, could it be a typo?

it basically means "assembled in the u.s.a."

It listed a California address for where it was manufactured and CA has the strictest rules for "Made in USA".

Hey ALP, you need to chill out with the "everything that's not made in the USA is inferior" statements.. At the least 90% of your posts have something to do with outsourcing!   I get what you mean, but it's not necessary in every thread! You have loads of things in your house that are made in China; look at your computer and even TV components!

I'm pretty certain it means assembled in the US.  I read somewhere (and I don't know how true it is) that microchips can not be manufactured in the US because the process is environmentally unfriendly.  Even the SwissMemory drives, "made" by SwissBit are Samsung:



I would imagine if you got one of these Duracell ones and opened it up the chips would be marked Korea or China.

While not every thing in China is bad(Fenix flashlights are very high quality)I don't like chinese stuff because its bad for the US economy. Also I buy stuff thats made in Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc. Also both TVs I own are made in North America(US old black and white and Mexico for my Sony color TV)

[Leatherman123]

You don't think Mexico's just as bad as China?? By the way, I think most TV components are imported from other countries.. Does Sony sound Mexican to you? 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Mexico is good for the US economy- who do you think is doing all the work in the US? 

Seriously guys, lets try to keep this civil....

I know I ask you this every time, but until I "get it" I'm going to remain curious.

I completely, 100% understand that you want to support US business and the US economy, but surely the effect on both of those things is the same whether you buy something made in Mexico, Europe or China isn't it?

walmart is evil...they drive business away from the U.S.

I don't think there is a flash drive that's made in u.s., not when you count the inside.

That's um, pretty random.

It kinda has to do with the thread...but barely...

I take it you saw the movie about Wal-Mart? I believe it's titled Wal-Mart The High Cost of Low Price or something like that!
