Global commerce

Its been so interesting to see what products the US and Poland have in common on the grocery shelves (M&Ms, Twix, Orbit gum, to name a few).    Its funny to see the same brand product but with all of the labeling in another language (or two).   One category of products that often seems to come with labels in English, however, is hair products.  When I got my hair cut the other day, most of the hair gels, hair sprays, etc were labeled in English only (or sometimes French).  Its amazing to consider where things are manufactured and shipped to based on the labeling considerations.
