Why are all thing Made In China, Why China? Why not Alabama? Why not Alaska? State t-shirts are accompanied by Chinese made products that make reference to the state. For example: Why are canned peaches imported in NJ when NJ is known for growing peaches? Why are Coca-Cola products imported in Georgia, the home of the soda maker?
When exhibited, T-shirts are for sale. White T-shirts labeled Made in China are sold for $1 and State Shirts sell for $20.
Many of the toys are re-called lead paint toys.
