It also explains the incredible tone deafness of the whole thing. Wasn't it a Swedish company that made a realtime strategy game about the Civil War and called it War of Rights?

Is Zwarte Piet a thing in Sweden? Cause that kind of adds to that whole region's tone deaf-ness to race issues.

So it's an overpriced Swedish beer you buy to call people in an American terrorist organization racists but it makes you look like a racist holding it or offering it to someone...

...yeah, that's a winning strategy, good one!

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

One: U.S.A. is not a country. It's a made up name for a company to trick you. There are several manufacturers who do that.

Two: The company is Telebrands which is well known for selling nonsense. Per their BBB listing (which is an A for some reason).:
"226 complaints closed in last 3 years
97 complaints closed in last 12 months"

A good business has perhaps 1 or 2 per year.

Three: It is not certified for anything at all.

Four: It's not a particulate, nor a liquid filter.

Five: gently caress them.

This is absurd. It's mean spirited on their part and they could kill people if someone takes the ad at face value.

Also, I can buy proper masks at the checkout of the grocery store I go to. We also buy them in case quantity at my work. They are available now. Two months ago it was hard, now it is not.

Again, there is no U.S.A. Only, USA.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

I don't think it's that deep, if they were making up country names to trick people I think they'd say "made in the U.S.A" not "Shipped from a USA warehouse!" Because it is almost certainly shipped, at some point, from something that could be called a warehouse, in the country the United States of America

My favorite line went something like- "Made in China? I love Chinese people, but come on! That's just gonna be bad quality. The Shamwow mask is made right here in the USA!" like drat vince that's a tight swerve!!!

They already do the "assembled in the USA" (completed and then shipped to the US where an "assembled in the USA" sticker is applied to complete the "assembly").
