nowhere to go but to a bar

Defective Yeti funny.

I noticed today as I was washing my plate that it was made in China. This struck me as quite strange, considering that the plate is ceramic and thus breakable. Highly breakable. (Trust me, I know.) If this is an American company, or a company based anywhere other than in China, wouldn't lower labor costs be offset by higher shipping costs? And if the company is based in China, how silly is it that some American companies probably ship similar plates to China? Why don't we keep our own plates?


Perhaps they save on shipping by wrapping the ceramic dishware in Gap sweaters.


I am blissfully ignorant about how business works. I suppose what I lack in knowledge, I make up for in the entertainment value of picturing big crates of alternating sweaters and plates.
