Interesting. I just checked, most of the non-food brand name stuff I buy seems to be made in China. Looking at my last 6 purchases: a Lenovo laptop (China), HP desktop (China), Babolat shoes (China), Penn tennis balls (China), Panasonic rec

I noticed the "subjective" closing many times and always wondered why that criterion was even introduced on SO. I mean what's wrong with a comment/question being subjective as long as it contains useful information?
