Talk:Usa, Oita

Today "Made in Japan" connotes high quality, technologically advanced manufacturing but during Japan's recovery from World War II it was synonymous with cheap shoddy products. Some exports were marked "MADE IN USA".
I removed this; see Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp) on the subject. --♥ «Charles A. L.» 05:32, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
- I inserted this anecdote about "Made in Usa". Thanks for supplying more info. I did not claim that a town was renamed "Usa" for a devious purpose. I do however have a dim memory of a childhood toy car, made from recycled Japanese tin cans (Japanese printing on the inside of the car), marked "MADE IN USA". 24.64.166.191 05:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
