I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved.

All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

Honestly, should send them with AirTags or similar hidden inside and track their progress - would easily get to the bottom of who the culprits are.

That is an amazing little ad hoc study!
