This was sent to me by a friend. Interesting.

The first 3 digits of the barcode identify the country code
wherein the product was made.
For Example:   ALL barcodes that start with 690, 691, 692,  etc., . .
up to and including 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
Barcodes starting with 471 are printed on products Made in Taiwan.


OTHER BARCODES:
