Yesterday I acquired, through an ancient and arcane right, my first Commemorative Star Trek Glass from Burger King.
When I opened the bag containing the subject of the rite of passage that I had performed, I was joyed to that, among other notations on the box, that the glass itself had been “Made in U.S.A.”
I’m sure to some people this doesn’t matter, but it matters to me. The box was made in China, but the glass–the true product purchased by the reading of magnetically-stored binary-encoded information and authorized through the transmission of electrons to regions unknown–was made in the country I call home.
Yay U-S-A!
But then I opened the box. Apparently, a cardboard box was not sufficient protection, for there, draping my glass, was a clear plastic bag covered in black type. One line on the bag caught my attention: “MADE IN CHINA.”
So now I’m confused.
Was the glass made in the United States or China? Was the plastic bag made in China?
So BK, care to comment? Didn’t think so. Nobody reads my blog anyway.
