20,000 miles

Did you hear about the toothpaste/toothbrush combo? They are packed together and this is what the label says:

"Toothpaste made in USA. Toothbrush made in CHINA. Packaged in CHINA."

Think about that. Shipping toothpaste 10,000 miles, packing it, then shipping it back is still more cost-effective than making it here. Anyone care about wasted diesel fuel from a tanker? Nah, just raise the prices of merchandise to offset it.
