Why does the 'idaho made' stamp exist?

[godsmyjudge]

from what i can tell, nobody likes it. now if it said texas made, thatd be a different story.

 

[EagleScouter]

Probably just state pride. They got tired that people thought Idaho was only good for potatoes.

 

[Mivonks]

now if it said texas made, thatd be a different story.

It would be worse.

i'm just grateful that it doesn't say "china made"....

There are two long threads about it over in the CRK forum.

 

[godsmyjudge]

i just read all those threads, thanks, and i should have looked there first.

also, there would be legions of texans carrying sebenzas if it said texas made on it.

there are 3 reasons why texas made would be better than idaho made:

1.) texas is bigger
2.) texas is full of texas-crazy people
3.) i uh, um, i uhh, lets see... i cant, uh, sorry, i cant... oops.

Because people get to run their business any way they want.

Is Idaho the China of the USA?
I mean, who cares?

 

[BePrepared]

good job idaho...

If it said that it would only sell in texas.

[Bwolcott]

I like it, I guess i am alone in that

 

[godsmyjudge]

what if ferraris said ITALY MADE across the windshield. it would detract from the car's elegance. Even if it actually said EDAM YLATI so you could read it in your rear view like an ambulance, it would still be an eyesore on an otherwise beautiful car.

 

[SleepyBadger]

well in my mind....Idaho made = USA made = :thumbup:

I like Idaho too, nice peoples

Thats actually very good, even if I'm the only one here who gets it.

Chris Reeve came to this country from South Africa and he found Idaho, where he settled, rewarded his hard work with a successful, growing business and beautiful countryside. He wants to acknowledge that in a way that people would notice and chose this way to do so.

To say that nobody likes it is untrue. Those who don't got vocal and encouraged each other to repeat their shared opinions over and over again. So much so that some people were surprised to find, when they got their horrible new Sebenzas, that the marking wasn't quite as intrusive as the magnified close-ups online suggested.

Normally, I would have moved this to the CRK forum, but I'm sure they've heard enough whining about it.

I've had 3 with "Idaho Made" and another w/o it. Yes sir, America is the land of opportunity and Idaho is a beautiful state. You can't fault a guy for loving his new Country and State though.
