Let me just add this little bit of trivia.
Anybody know where they came from???
I DO! Leominster MA. Yup, Leominster (The Plastic City) has the proud distiction of being the starting place of it all. They still make them there, downtown. There's an old lady that's been hand airbrushing the beaks for decades. We even have a plastics museum to show them off.
Next time you see one, take a look underneath. Most will NOT say made in China or Taiwan. Leominster, MA.
There is a house just across the street from the main factory that has nearly all of the lawn 'trash' that they make. Little plastic knomes, Mary-in-the-Bathtubs, various farm animals, and of course many MANY pink and varied Flamingos
We are also the birthplace of one Mr. James Chapman. That's Johnny Appleseed to you all. In fact my street address is 507 Johnny Appleseed Lane. I get such a kick out of that address.
In case you all where interested......
