Unfortunately, the people you want to deliver that message to won't be able to read it, since it's in English.

Roc i saw on FOX where in a couple of States if they catch someone doing that ,or anything like that to your food ,you get an automatic 6 mths in the county pen.
They even had some under cover LEOs trying to anger the food servers ,then taking the food back to a lab.
The CDC ,is pushing to make it a 4th degree Felony.
It should be ,what if that punk had TB or Hepatitis ,or even the Flu.
The Flu can kill some people.

I've heard of some really bad stuff that has been found in food,,, worst was in the Penthouse Forum back in the eighties,, had to do with some jerk off food preparer that would prepare salads for pretty women,,, you get the jist,, I won't elaborate.

There was a thread awhile back here that questioned where all the contaminated food was coming from and the fact that there were few porta potties in the growing fields,,, duh,,

nasty

For those that don't live in areas infest with southern visitors you probably haven't gone into a public bathroom to find piles of use toilet paper next to the toilet,it seems down south they don't flush toilet paper, so they don't when they get up here, you can only imagine all the nice stuff they are bring up with them, and it's not macho to wash your hands, so think about that the next time you see some one from way down south making your hamburger.

"Usa" is probably the name of a town in rural China where the shirts are made.

And you somehow believe that NOT wearing the T-shirt is going to make them less inclined to give you the "special sauce" if they are so inclined, anyway?

Actually, I believe "Usa" was the name of a small town in Japan where, at one point, it was used in this manner (back when "Made in Japan" meant cheap, tinfoil, ill-fitting junk).

Yep. I'd heard about that a long time ago. They marked their products "Made in Usa", but they got busted for it and had to mark the country's name, not the city. And I'm old enough to remember when you could buy Japanese-made toys that were made from "tin" cans.

Well, another one laid to rest. Actually, the version of the story I heard (back in the late '50s/early 60's) wasn't that they renamed a town "Usa", but that they utilized the already existing town as an export point. And, the story was not that they successfully pulled off the scam, but that they had tried and gotten busted. Snopes doesn't really address this version of the story, but I suspect that they are right in that it the story was made up after someone (American) noticed there was a town of Usa. There was (maybe still is) an American military base a short drive from there, so American GIs stationed there would certainly have noticed the town. I've actually been to the Usa area (just east of Fukuoka - let's see what you can do with that ). Although not a shipping port itself, it's close to one, which probably helped propel the story.

Snopes has been known to be wrong, and to show bias. Use at least 3 sources when checking facts.
