Made in China

What Ever Happened to Wonder Bread?

It’s a little known fact, but yes, Wal-Mart bought out Wonder Bread, and now the iconic loaf with a lot of air and a little flour, along with Twinkies, Ho Ho’s and Ding Dongs, are all made in China.  As urban legend can attest, shelf life has never been a problem . . .

Alligator Shoes

Elizabeth had heard about alligator shoes for years and finally thought it might be time to buy some.  The problem was where?  If she bought them online, they might not fit right, or they could be from China and made with questionable materials, but she just couldn’t find anything at the mall that would fit or look good in any kind of material.  One snotty young shoe store clerk with spiky pink hair, enough metal ornamentation in piercings to start her own metal recycling business, and earbuds so loud that Elizabeth could hear the hip hop boom and percussion from ten feet away sneered, “Looks like you’re stuck with flip flops, girl”. . . . . .

Cinderella’s Slipper

The prince had watched Cinderella run out of the ballroom just before the stroke of midnight, and he ran down the castle steps after her, hoping to find out who the mysterious blonde was.  As she ran, it looked like she lost a slipper; he quickly ran up and grabbed it, looking for a clue, but the only thing he found was the legend “Made in China” stamped on the sole. . . . . .  David, Sf.G.
