Bar code: SEE WHERE IT'S MADE!

This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you.
The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods". Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.

However, 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
47 ... Taiwan
49 … JAPAN
50 … UK

BUY USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number. We need every boost we can get!

Big Snake Sighted

Eddie, our landscaping person, saw a large snake while working in the backyard at the residence # 491. He shared that information with Dick so we are sharing the data with you. The creature is in the bushes and a large hole inside the bushes seems to be where it takes refuge. A large snake( the size of an arm) points to a python....maybe??????? Does anyone have additional data on this creature?
