The whole world is scared of China made "black hearted goods"
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? Let me
tell! u ... the first 3 digits of barcode 690.691.692 is made in CHINA
. Do not ever buy it for your own health.

471 is Made in Taiwan

This is a human right to know, but the government and related
department never educate the public, therefore we have to rescue
ourselves. Remember.

With more and more milk products from China and Taiwan having problem.
We really got to check where the things are produced. Here is a way to
differentiate Taiwan made products and China made products : by
looking at first three digits of its Bar Code.

If the 1st 3 digits are 690, 691 or 692 - China made
If the 1st 3 digits are 471 - Taiwan made

So please spread the words to everyone......

Nowadays, China businessmen know the consumers do not prefer products
"made in china", so they won't show made from which country.
However, you may now refer to the barcodes, if the first 3 digits is
690-692 then it is made in China.

RedPope, in Germany the toilets sometimes have a sign "OO". It indicates that people can s*it there.

I believe the 00 proper definition would be, we sold our US company to the chinese, we need to start all over again.

I cannot tell a lie.. You've got me!

RP.

00 for USA .. Makes sense.. 00 is pronounced Oh Oh.. The sound you make when you hear its made in USA.

As for Canada, 13 is unlucky, so don't buy..

It should be 13 (THE independence of the 13 colonies) should represent the UK.

and the 50 for the fifty states of U.S.A.

I think you didn't want to check the barcode after you read the label. Confess.

The only label I saw said "Slippery when wet".. Didn't have time to look for the bar code..
