Worth repeating (from the video):
“You can’t trust a brand name anymore.”
Nope. Counterfeit Cisco servers come from China with the viruses and trojans pre-installed, as do counterfeit iPods.
I should have known that you know.
I just love it whenever anyone beats the Feds on taxes.
(Now, if I could just figger out how to get myself to be a NFP ..... I know! “The Shibumi Foundation for Advancement of Self.”)
"An FBI presentation states that China has counterfeited Cisco Systems network routers and may be using the equipment to penetrate U.S. government and private sector computer networks..."
Hmmmmmm. I haven’t made any money in a couple years...........
I don't think it's so much outsourcing but selling a license for products they do not normally produce. That stated, Sunkist should be more careful selling their name.
If the original product says “Made in USA”, then the countefeits would say “Made in USA”. But these say “Made in China”. These are likely either originals authorized by Sunkist, or they are counterfeits of Sunkist products that are manufactured in China. Either way Sunkist is outsourcing to China.
If Sunkist wasn’t authorizing products made in China, you would think someone would have noticed the label and Sunkist would have taken action by now.
Good point. A good name is hard to build, and Sunkist had one, but a good name is extremely easy to lose.
That would be my guess.
Either way Sunkist is outsourcing to China.
So it would seem. Who doesn't? It's very hard to compete with a slave labor force in a controlled currency economy with no meaningful labor or environmental laws.
The Chinese commies understand robber baron capitalism better than we do.
Very interesting. I seriously doubt there are many, if any, Chinese FReepers.
Are you kidding me? You didn’t see the big run of new PRC sign ups since the earthquake? There was like 150+.

If your looking for quality products you don't go to Dollar Tree. If you look at the boxes that Dollar Tree junk is ship in you can't miss the chinese writing and MADE IN CHINA plastered all over the boxes.
BTW...I see there are no recalls on this product.
Well now lets see.....I posted under BLOGGERS and PERSONAL, the space JR puts here on FR for this type of posting, and there isn’t anything I can do about people wanting to see the video.
Second, The phone isn’t on the Sunkist site under contact info, so I didn’t bother looking through third party sites.
Third, there is a picture of the package up on the site, and there is no Chinese writing on it.
So sorry it offends you that people take notice of things and inform others.
That seems to be a problem here on FR. Just post without regard to facts that are easily obtained in just a matter of seconds. But then again, why even consider facts when you can create controversy, right?
Third, there is a picture of the package up on the site, and there is no Chinese writing on it.
You're correct. I was stating that the boxes,ie, the containers the bags are shipped in, are labeled in Chinese and English. The individual bags clearly state the product is manufactured under a license of Sunkist and MADE IN CHINA is clearly written on the package.
Don't try to create controvery when there is none. Leave that to the MSM.
At the worst a major daily brand in our lives is outsourceing kid treats to China and as related in the video an obvious defective product, at the best is being knocked off without their knowledge and distributed via a national chain. I am sorry you don’t feel this is newsworthy, I do. And until FR suspends my account I will follow their posting guidlines and continue to what I find of interest. As for waiting for MSM to report in a negative fashion anything about their beloved chicoms, that will be the day.
There are groups in China that pirate Microsoft Windows. However they get to rename Red Hat Linux to Red Flag Linux for free.
So those smart people at MS are getting paid the same amount as those dumb people that wrote Linux.
At least Judas got 30 pieces of silver for his betrayal.
Sunkist = sold out to the ChiComs, no more Sunkist in MY house!
Nope. Nada; notaone; none; nomore.
