The meaning of bar codes.

QUOTE from Randy Pausch: : "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."

I LEARNED what the BAR CODES mean on all the products we buy. This was an email I have received several times so I'm going to share it today. Maybe you've already seen it but it is okay to review it and refresh rhe memory.

If the first two/three numbers are:

690-695 it is made in China.
471        it is made in Taiwan.
00-09     it is made in USA and Canada.
30-37     it is made in France.
40-47     it is made in Germany.
49          it is made in Japan.
50          it is made in UK.

I just checked Ruth Ann's spice rack and they were all made in the U.S. From here on I'm definitely going to check to see if the first three numbers are from 690 to 695. I'll pay more to find the 00-09 numbers.


HUMOR for today: A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandments to "honor thy fatner and thy mother,' she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, Little Johnny answered, "Thou Shall Not Kill."
