   Hello Richard Menedetter!   
      
    AA>> So... it's manufactured in USA, but made in China? How   
    AA>> can that be?   
      
    RM> Where does it say *manufactured* in USA?   
      
    RM> It says manufactured BY an USA company - made in China.   
    RM> Which means it was produced in China.   
      
   Exactly. The industry is playing with words to confuse us and     
   make us assume that domestic jobs (in this case, USA) are     
   supported?   
      
   One other thing that I just don't understand the grocers are     
   doing is when they bring in apples from Chile, when there is     
   plenty of fine domestic Canadian apple brands.  I mean.. why     
   bother? ..especially when the prices are the same.
