Bayer lost the copyright on the name Aspirin during the war. So it's not Bayer unless it says so.

Good luck on the Chinese boycott.

Walmart is wall to wall Chinese, and most if not all apparel is made in China.

I thought all Labatts products were Canadian. We get them duty free in Windsor.

Add Bic razors, lighters and pens to the boycott list (French), and Zwilling JA Henckels knives and cutlery (German).

Labatts were bought by Interbrew a long time ago.

My car is an Audi, and is made in Germany. I believe most Audis made before 2000 were made in Germany.

Do you buy any perfumes or cosmetics? Check the labels.

Audi/Volkswagen are the same company.

I'd guess that a new A6 is made in Wurzburg. It's almost identical to a Passat.

I can't speak to the A4, tt, etc.

BMW - except for the small roadsters built in South Carolina.

If you know that BMW is made in Spartanburg did you know that Michellin is in Sandy Springs, just 20 or so miles away? How about Bosh and all the other "support" industries that located in S.C. after textiles moved to China. Yeah, let's screw the rednecks again, that's an excellent plan. Wouldn't want them getting too "uppity" they might get their teeth fixed and spoil another source of humor for network t.v.

I'm in favor of boycotting those brands NOT made in the US or its allies.

BMW's made in Germany are fair game; those made in US are not.

If you're in the construction or building products trades, avoid Lafarge (cement, concrete, drywall & aggregates) and the Saint-Gobain group (Certainteed insulation and other building materials)
