OT...bar codes
You may now refer to the barcode - remember if the first 3 digits are:
690-692 ... then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA
30 - 37 FRANCE
40 - 44 GERMANY
471 ... Taiwan
49 ... JAPAN
50 ... UK
BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.

Good to know.
Unfortunately the bar code is how the "Powers" of the world keep track of everything we do every day. When, where and how everybody on the planet buys, ships or receives something. Just something to think about.
Just my $.02

Unfortunately this isnt exactly true. The prefix for the country is based off of where the company is based. For example, Fords. Lets say that Ford North America produces an F650 in Mexico. If it were assigned a UPC code (bar code) it would be given the USA prefix because the number was assigned to a USA company even though the vehicle is a product of Mexico. That works both ways. Just food for thought.

Damn!!! and i thought i found something cool. It was shot over to me, to keep in mind. Grant it, at the time, i wasnt using Ford trucks made in Mexico, to have a barcode, but more along the lines of commodities..(synonym form), in our everyday purchases in life.
