Deciphering Bar Codes For Country Of Origin

This is kind of cool. You can tell which country a product is made in by looking at the first few numbers of a bar code.



Here's how to interpret them:
00 - 09 - USA & CANADA
30 - 37 - FRANCE
40 - 44 - GERMANY
47 - TAIWAN
49 - JAPAN
50 - UK
690 - 692 - CHINA

And there's your useful piece of trivia for today...

Val, I must have deleted some of the e-mails I got (on accident) from friends and family who wanted a blog invite. I don't know how that happened, either that or they went into the junk mail folder. Anyways, I went ahead and sent invites out using the e-mail addresses in the MyFamily.com site. Yours was a yahoo address. If you have another one you would rather me send the invite to, just e-mail me @ dbnelson02@hotmail.com. Take care!
