I’m surprised Japan is so low.

What does Switzerland make that carries such a solid reputation? Cheese? Chocolate? Bank accounts?

wait... what are finland n norway doing all the way down there.... anyones ever bought a wintercoat or a sleeping bag with made in either of those on it knows they should be much higher up the list

I feel like Japan should be significantly higher? And in a possibly related note, the UK and Italy should be much lower. Beyond whiskey and cheese, I can’t think of a single UK product I’d assume was well made, and Italy is much the same excepting clothing, wine, and food products.

Japan should be #1 on the list.

Good point, totally forgot about Victorinox.

08/18/2018 at 12:58

Yeah, those food products, knives, and don’t forget about Swatch Internet Time™.

Though really, I think the question is what does Switzerland make that you wouldn’t consider to be high-quality?

Fuckin hell, I also forgot about watches.

I never associated manufacturing with Switzerland but the things that were pointed out to me are high quality.

The Finns make some awfully fine firear ms.

Sakos are beautiful, and expensive. TIKKA is their “ cheap” brand, or maybe more like Scion was to Toyota...

and the Norwegians have done some good work too...

though they aren’t as well known for current production arms.

ive seen a couple sakos.. they are nice

getting a license here is a pita tho... minimum of a year guns club membership 18 hours of training (i think) before you can apply for a licence.. then you can still fail the backgroundcheck

This is one of those speculative products that private statistical companies create to generate revenue and a public profile.

Given that the primary data is derived from people’s opinions and opinions are like ars eholes then the actual value of the survey findings is not much more than entertainment...

We do textiles (both for luxury and non luxury designers), we build cars such as Mini and Rolls Royce , Honda Civics, Jaguars and Land Rovers, luxury and niche small production cars and bikes such as Ginetta, Morgan, McLaren, Ariel, Aston Martin, BAC, etc... (in fact about over 90 small, medium to large scale automotive manufacturers), the food industry such as confectionery and baked goods, dairy and meat , etc...

Ye’, we sell chocolate to Belgium, cheese to France and Tea to China.

well.. thats why canadia ranks higher than the nordics... i was just expecting them to be right up there with canadia

Wacko > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/20/2018 at 12:59

but they aren’t as polite as us.

Just knowing the person who made your clothes said sorry aboot 10 times per day is added value.
