Where does it come from?

Well I have just been shopping and all the Colgate toothpaste that I looked at comes from Thailand.

It would be great if others posted examples of products and where they come from as I am sure there are plenty of surprises out there.

I know I have plenty more to add

It certainly is.  Has been since the dams were down to 16% capacity, and very strict rules were introduced.

We invented lots of different ways to conserve water in our homes, and most of us have continued with them to this day.

Someone had said that in the future there will be water wars, because there is a finite amount of it in the world.

Good, pleased to hear it, hopefully those with backyard swimming pools dont waste water continually topping them up

If they are managed properly, that is not necessary.

OK

My pool has not been topped up for quite a few years but I guess that is what the tank is for.................I have actually had to let water out several times already this year.

I would be concerned about causing damage to the bladder in that case, coffee does irritate it.

So does excessive alcohol, I believe, and the combination would be toxic.  Diuretic x 2.

What about icecream? I remember reading about Paddle Pops being made in China, I checked in the supermarket today but could only find Made in Australia on them, however there was some controversy about the labelling from memory.
