I think my guns (that I lost in a tragic boating accident) were made here.

FWIW my dentist recommends not using toothpaste at all, but rather Listerine (and a Sonicare or equivalent ultrasonic toothbrush)
(gotts to see where Listerine is made now...) |

vmax,
the problem lies with labor rates. It's cheaper to make stuff over there than here. They only pay them, for example, $1 an hour in the GM plants in Mexico. |

Makes perfect sense to me. Have you seen the hygiene in Mexico? Those companies don't have to worry about employee theft of those products.

 vmax84 I do think it's sad we can't even keep "building" toothpaste in the country. |
