The Florida Man virus has mutated into a corporate variant: A Florida company that promoted itself as “America’s Most Patriot Brand” and said its Manly Man products “are 100% American made and nothing says ‘Merica [sic] like making products right here at home for ‘Merica man and woman alike” are actually 100% made in China, the Miami Herald reports.
According to the company’s website, which goes by the brand name Old Southern Brass USA, you can buy things like a shot glass shaped like a shotgun shell, or a shot glass with a fake bullet in it, or reusable drink chillers shaped like bullets, or a shot glass or a Fourth of July patriotic whiskey decanter sans bullet. And it gets worse: the company promoted that 10% of their sales went to support veterans’ charities, which of course was a lie. (Remember Letitia James’ first victory over Donald Trump was also veterans fraud: using his Foundation funds illegally for political purposes by paying off veterans charities?).
The website has since been updated with what appears to be boilerplate language explaining that while parts are manufactured in China, some products are assembled in the US. Yahoo has archived images.
