A guy at work drives a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Just to mess with him, on December 7th, I said, You know that car was made by the grandkids of the people who made the planes that attacked Pearl Harbor.

His response: So was Honda. (I drive a Honda).

Nope, Honda didn't come along until after the war. I'm specifically talking about the Mitsubishi A6M Zero.

Whatever...

“Nope, Honda didn’t come along until after the war. I’m specifically talking about the Mitsubishi A6M Zero.”

False logic. You don’t know where their grandparents worked. Likely they worked for the Japanese War effort.

But don't forget: In 1937, Honda founded Tōkai Seiki to produce piston rings for Toyota. During World War II, a US B-29 bomber attack destroyed Tōkai Seiki's Yamashita plant in 1944 and the Iwata plant collapsed in the 1945 Mikawa earthquake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soichiro_Honda

Although it wasn’t used during the Pearl Harbor attack Mitsubishi also made the twin engine GM4 “Betty’’ Bomber.

And your Krups kitchen knives were made by the same company that manufactured munitions that killed more Americans than died at Pearl Harbor.

Whatever.
