Georgia Chopsticks, a company based in (aptly-named) Americus, Georgia, produces about four million sets of chopsticks each week, and exports them to China and Japan. Each set comes with a label marked “Made in USA”.
It seems, China and Japan simply don’t have enough wood to produce their own chopsticks, but Georgia does.
Oh, the irony...
That's funny!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
DeleteWow we still make stuff in the USA? Would love to see manufacturing come back to this country. Can really use the jobs.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it. It's hard to find products made in Canada, too.
DeleteUnbelievable..but funny! I'm surprised they don't manufacture plastic ones themselves by the millions.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised, too. Plastic seems like a good option, unless the wooden ones are favoured for a good reason.
DeleteThat's cute! Have you heard of the movement to live without buying things from China and how HARD it is? It'd be an interesting challenge to take on!
ReplyDeleteI do believe it must be very hard. Many products are made in other countries and shipped here.
DeleteNow go figure! But does make sense considering the lack of resources in China.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does make sense. But it is nice to know that something is still being made in this part of the world.
DeleteDear Martha,
ReplyDeleteI am happy that Georgia still produces something!! :-)
Definitely something to be proud of!
DeleteThat'll show 'em!
ReplyDeletem.
Hahaha...yes, it sure will.
