Title: Where does the Flaming T come from?
Post by: thegame on August 12, 2006, 10:26:45 AM: Just got a Flaming T spare ball for my wife from Buddies, and noticed a "Made in Korea" sticker just under the pin. Are these not made at the plant in San Antonio? Not a huge deal, just thought it was interesting.

Post by: kayoung08 on August 13, 2006, 12:35:39 AM: apparently the materials used to make the clear balls are pretty dangerous and no plant in the us is equiped to make them. highly toxic and flammable is my understanding, so in order to pass scrutiny with the us government standards would not be worth it to make them here. thats the way it was told to me.
