Wait til MAGAs find out how much their American flags and Trump swag are gonna cost.
HAHA very funny, so chinese embassy are now sharing ai images
The only difference is that the flip flops will have “Made in India” stamped on them.
For India’s sake let’s hope they look a little different than this pair
I guess if there’s one thing Indians know about, it is sandals.
Industrial work place compliant sandals.
American flip flops? Everyone knows the most powerful flip flops come from latin american moms.
¡La chancla!
Anti every that moves from hoses to crocs and has range attack option. Broken weapon that doubles as foot wear.
Ah, for backpedaling
Flip flops - like the President.
No offense but Rainbow sandals are made in San Clemente California and are the best made sandals one can buy. Like no joke, they are as close to wearing a fully supported shoe as possible for a toe thong sandal. They will last like a high quality shoe, and far longer than the average tennis shoe or sneaker does now. I wore a pair daily for nearly ten years straight as my main shoes. Rainbow sandals have always been the educated consumer’s go-to choice and are far cheaper than the junk most people buy ten times over in the same span of time.
It is not that Chinese friends are unable to make the exact same quality or better than Rainbow’s. We are all the same humans. The only differences between all of us emerge from spurious nonsense of upper societal castes. Dichotomous logic implies idiocy or malevolence from both canaille or interlocutor. The Chinese are tooled to make the junk (mostly) companies and occasionally consumers-directly demand in any range of quality or compromise without concern about the ethics of the company or motivations of the individual. In other words, the Chinese do not judge you for being a stupid miser or unethical hack with your money; because the money for goods is the only relevant transaction. If you want to be exploited or buy disposable junk, those are your ethics and problem. Those that spin this narrative in a racist light are criminals. I’m just a redneck white boy from Alabama, so what do I know. Think for yourself. Do not follow the piper’s music.
( the joke is not that these are low quality, but they are assembled wrong; Chinese embassy is calling Americans dumb )
Holy shit, my brain didn’t see it. Thought it was a flip flopper joke.

I love my Rainbows. They’re great.
FYI, most of their sandals are made in China now because of their limited production capacity.
You have to look for the “USA” mark in the middle of the sole at their factory store for their locally made sandals. Online orders don’t allow you to specify a country of origin.
In my experience running a very active pro eBay store, all you need to do is leave a note if the ordering system has such an implementation. Like even in general, a kind note with an order is such a rare pleasantry when a person sees a couple dozen orders a day and is trying their best to pack it well and keep everything sorted to send the right thing to the right place, that any kind gesture even with a request is a major positive against the monotony. It depends on who is filling orders and all. Like I ran the whole eBay thing solo, so logistics was a joke job title. Some dissonant kid will be very different in perspective. The few times I got any such kind note and request, I went out of my way in packing the item in a way that opened with presentation quality that also presented my note in reply thanking them. Implementing feature details like selecting a feature that may or may not be available at the time is too difficult to manage in the real world at this scale.
I’m sad to hear they are not doing all local production. I haven’t been able to wear flip flops since my broken neck and back. I haven’t been there in over a decade since, but pass by the location often. My big crash was on Coast Highway a half mile from there.
Do they also sell vegan shoes/sandals? Not sure I’d afford shipping to Germany, but if I tried to buy some, I couldn’t since all of them seem to be made of leather
It is a rather small and very old family business. They only make and sell the one product, that I am aware of. The whole thing is in a building smaller than a typical low income house for a family of 4.
Gotcha, thanks
Would you say I’m a level seven susceptible?
Can someone explain it to me? I don’t understand the joke.
Do they mean that trump flip flops all over the place with changing his decisions daily?
The straps are backwards.
Where do the toes go?
Oooooh now i see it. 🤦🏻♂️Thankyou
Americans are too stupid to manufacture their own shit.
"glances at Chinese high rises tipping over
Yeah true, but where is the joke?
It wasn’t a joke, it was stating a fact.
It’s a backwards flip flop. It’s a play on words, if you can’t get it you probably aren’t qualified to drive a semi with this new legislation.
My comment was a joke. I would make fun of you for not getting it but… plenty of jokes have gone over my head online so I understand how it looks like a sincere comment. If it were perceived as sincere I totally understand and agree with your snark.
Text is tricky, and I probably could have done a better job making the joke more clear.
Maga thongs
I’m beginning to understand how their Century of Humiliation got its name
Pls God let America get invaded by imperialists it would be so fucking funny
any country that invades mainland US is gonna be erased from reality. it’s funny for a second until I remember how many millions of innocent deaths that would mean
Yeah, nukes are so anti-fun, the dev really needs to patch them
I think they’ll need to have a bit of a clear out first to make it more appealing to the imperialists.
My feet hurt just looking at those fucking things. Are they made of cardboard?
I feel you may have missed the most important detail, that they are assembled backwards.
(…thank you!..)
I sure did. I got got. He is selling shitty MAGA flip-flops though that look slightly cozier than those, barely
Wooooosh
Flipped flop
This could have been effective. Instead they chose to showcase a thing which gets manufactured everywhere in the world. Media literacy is dead, god help us.
Bro… did you completely miss the fact that they’re assembled backwards?
You’re the one completely missing here. This meme is ineffective because flip flops are manufactured everywhere and nobody screws them up. So what could have been a slam dunk here is more like OP slamming their forehead on the rim. Anyone who doesn’t have their head up their ass or zero clue about how reality works see this and just thinks “nah that’s fake” and they’re correct in saying that media literacy is dead because this is getting way more genuine engagement than rock bottom low effort propaganda should get.
Anyone … see this and just thinks “nah that’s fake”
You’re being thick headed.
Most people look at that and go “haha, they’re making a joke at America’s expense”.
The image being fake is irrelevant, it’s just a prop to setup the joke.
Look again
Woosh
Media literacy is dead, god help us.
I mean… A kind of literacy is clearly dead here…
Observation skills are dead.
They totally forgot to add the “Made In China” label on those flop-flips. Come on Chinese Embassy! If you’re gonna show off your own failures and pass them off as our own, you gotta show actual US products!
I’d tell them to man up, but I don’t make fun of minors or those with the mental age if a minor.
Aamericans tend to over engineer, an approach which in many cases can be very desirable, but in this case would result in 1 inch thick of the heaviest rubber, with a tread, with a leather covering for entire foot, up to over the ankle, and the whole thing held together with shoelaces.
