Probably made from our discarded medical waste and those red "sharps bins"one sees in the Doctor's office........................damn clever,those Asiatics.

From China, no doubt. I think the Chinese are trying to kill us all and they're using Walmart as their agents . . . .

chemical reaction to neoprine. Then again they were made in China from tainted dog food and discarded Mattel toys.

10 people out of 7 MILLION had an allergic reaction to the plastic. Yeah, real good reason to avoid Wal-Mart.

Well, it's good enough for ME. I just don't like what Walmart represents. If you like it, you're welcome to go ahead and patronnize the evil empire if you want. . . .

I dislike the store and its environment, its very large, full of annoying people, and sells products of poor quality. I support retailers I like. I prefer to purchase things from small local places, even if it costs more.

I do buy oil from Walmart, if I wasn't broke I'd just get it at the dealer to avoid them totaly. I'd happly pay an extra $5 a gallon to avoid going to Walmart.

Why would I buy a bunch of toiletries at Walgreens and suffer with lousy service and high prices when I can get the same service, and the same products at Wal-Mart for lower prices?

Why would I buy Rotella at Pep Boys when the same container is $3.00 less at Wal-Mart? Both companies employ the same 'tards.

.........because they buy goods in China??..........

........ahh, did you notice that just about every retailer sources in the third world these days...........???

That's the fr'ickin problem, *#(*&!

Do you seek out American made toilet paper and shampoo?

What about auto parts.........think you can determine where they are sourced?

You should see the arguments on garagejournal about USA-made tools and imported tools...egads! I don't necessarily care where items come from, as long as the item I buy is serviceable and does what it is advertised to do. Let's not forget how people used to snicker about Japanese junk?! The Koreans are making fine electronics and cars now, can the Chinese be far behind?

I happen to like Snap-On tools and will spend a fortune for US made tools. I could give a hoot where flip flops come from, but I'd rather spend $7 for a pair for my wife that the dogs will eat anyway, than $50 for a fancy pair that the dogs will chew on.

Just checked. Scott's toilet paper not made in China. That comes from Mexico.

Today I bought an ACE 1 1/2 inch J bend slip joint pipe with both nuts and plastic washers for the kitchen sink. I was parked right next to Home Depot today while food shopping but it didn't even occur to me to go inside. Instead I drove to the local hardware store. Paid $9.50 with tax. It is run by an elderly gent and a younger couple. One of them is usually talking to a customer even if the sale is already made. Then one of the others will appear and wait on me. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I started going there when the big box stores didn't have the oddball flourescent light I needed. Just a straight tube but 28 inch or so I forget. The hardware store had a spot for them but was out, so ordered it for me.
So now I got curious to check the ACE package to see where the pipe is made and got surprised: Manufactured in USA

That's a little bit of an exaggeration on the theme I was preaching. Maybe I was being unclear. I'm not saying EVERYTHING has to be completely Yankee-Doodle.

My shampoo is German and I only use American TP.

As far as auto parts go....the same applies. European stuff only. Just stay away from any third-world manufactured products even just for the consideration of the conditions they were manufactured under.
