Here are a few from the list

Rawlings baseballs
Etch a Sketch
Converse shoes
Radio Flyer's Red Wagon
Forks, spoons, and knives
Levi jeans
Dress shirts
I shouldn't be shocked. Not really, yet some how I am.

They say buy American made, but how can you when there is very little we seem to make here anymore.

I remember reading a few years back that Budweiser was bought out by a south american company.
For each product, the article goes on to explain why. Its all about the money.

This is why I always never buy stuff foreign made. majority of the jobs are now over seas. Which blows.

What about things like silverware though, If you have a good set, well, your set, but mine desperately needs replacing. (They tend to disappear when you make children clear the table)

Sometimes were are just stuck buying foreign made.

My brother worked at a factory that made parts for Harley Davidson. That whole department got moved to England. Yes, some Harley parts are now made in England. Thanks to that move, hundreds of people lost their jobs. It's really sad.
