Made in...
So I was sitting here at my desk, finding new ways to procrastinate, and I noticed that my dental floss was "Made In Ireland".
Got me curious as I thought everything under the sun was "Made in China".
I started looking around and found all sorts of things made elsewhere...

Hey the same happened to me!! One day I realised my Pelikan permanent marker was made in the Czech Republic... I swear it must be like the first and only Czech thing I ever touched!!
I love it that other countries are exporting!!

Yeah I noticed my bottle of Angostura Bitters was made in Trinidad and Tobago. But it doesn't take much to interest me.

I am finding that most of the souveniers I have received from people are actually made in china. And no, none of them were even from that continent.
