GRAHAM CRACKERS
I recently purchased a couple boxes of Honey Maid graham crackers.
While I was eating some of them I was reading the box.
I took them back a couple of days later for a refund. The lady
asked me what was wrong with the product. I pointed to the
fine print on the box - "Made in Mexico". She said well, that
explains the return.
A few days later I was at one of the wholesale club stores and
thought I would check them out there. Sure enough the first
few boxes said the same thing. I went to a different skid and
the boxes said nothing. I called the 800 number and asked
why some said this and some did not. The answer - if they
say made in Mexico then they are, if they do not say anything them they are made in the USA. This is according to law - if not made in the USA, then they have to have the
country of origin.
Just a heads up.

There are some............
There are some prepackaged foods that people claim are better because they use the old recipes in Mexico.

If you don't buy stuff made outside the US, you will have an opportunity to save a lot of money. The car with the most domestic components is a Japanese logo. My Ford F150 has a Mitsubishi tranny. About 90% of the new F150 is US and Canadian content.

Chrome comes from overseas. Lithium batteries come from Asia-we don't have much. Motors from Windsor, fruit from SA. A lot of your gas comes from foreign oil. Chances are, your guns and ammo are made on machines with a high foreign content. Like it or not, we are in a world economy and have to trade for a lot of necessities.

I love graham crackers to this day. Preferably with crunchy peanut butter. But I'd probably eat a leather insole with crunchy peanut butter or Swiss cheese.

Not graham crackers, but the Gamesa Saladitas saltine crackers are the best.

I like Graham cracker crusts on my cheesecake and key lime pies.
Otherwise, not so much.

Don't care where something is made...
If it tastes good I'll eat it.On the other hand if I watched how something was made (like hotdogs) I might not ever eat it again.

So I am guessing that you never had a................
GC crust pie with lots of butter mixed in.......
with a little vanilla pudding filling with banana slices and shaved coconut and a touch of vanilla to move it up a notch, with a meringue topping to boot !
