Can't say "Made in the USA" (unqualified) in California, unless you cut down the tree, and whittle the toothpicks yourself, make the carton material (chew up the pulp and spit onto screens to make the paper -- and I'm not really sure how to make ink...) and pack it yourself, using only fuel you created yourself (digging for coal in your backyard? -- How else could you prove it was US origin energy?) to run your business. Remember, people have been sued in California because their entire product was made in the USA except for ONE SCREW that was made in Taiwan. We don't want to give the lawyers MORE money, now do we?  The sad thing is... I'm not kidding.
And I'm sure you won't laugh at my fence hole. It wasn't really my fault, I didn't know it took so long to stop an Emaxx going 70mph... 
Good thing Mike was able to jump out of the way.

Oh I understand the "made in the USA" requirements, have been through that myself. California really irritates me because the Feds are supposed to set trade regulations and requirements, but Cali always seems to think they need to do more. Anyway, off my soap box.
Pretty much nothing can be 100% made in USA with USA parts so......
Also I used to have a title like yours, went something like
