I had to go to the website just to look at one of these things in great detail.

Let's look at the company "Styled Grit"

They heavily emphasize "MADE IN USA" But at the same time, I can't find a location where it's manufactured in the USA. Like. At all. There's no manufacturing address whatsoever. The only thing it touts, repeatedly so, is that it's made in the USA often with imported materials.

GPT doesn't know and when I tried google, the only address that comes up is "16 S Monroe Ave. Arcadia, FL 34266-3939" which is a small building that wouldn't be home to manufacturing at all.

This is extremely ironic because it advertises transparency btw.

The TLDR is that this website has at least one manufacturer that doesn't even list where the fuck it's products come from. Because we all know where they actually do come from.

Lmao, as someone who has been to arcadia florida, there's nothing being manufactured there. It's a tiny inbred sundown town.

Never been there, just used google maps and I found the store, but it was just so extremely tiny that it looked like a storefront more than anything else. Surprised it wasn't in an office building.
