PS: the Walmart does indeed sell chocolate ice cream sandwiches. The thing
is, there’s absolutely no English writing on the package.

 
So where are they coming from? It would be strange to ship ice cream
from China, but I could see it coming from Mexico.
 

 
It’s not English characters. I assume it’s Asian. I’m going to see if I can
find a link that will work for you.

 
I found it. Looks to be an Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich imported from
Taiwan.

Would not have expected something like that to even be imported since
it would be so easy to make here.

We grow shrimp here in the desert in very shallow ponds and ship them to
China, where they tempura batter them and package them and ship them back
here to sell.

All parts of this process amaze me. I might understand if they did it the
other way around, grew shrimp in China and shipped it here to package and
sell.  But round-trip? And who the hell decided to grow shrimp in the
desert in the first place?

Ah, we get shrimp from Vietnam (I see the frozen packages at the local
Publix grocery store) so even though we can get it most of the year
from Florida it happens. As for growing them in Arizona what else are
they going to do with the desert areas. My question would be where is
the water coming from? Also why not cut out China because it seems the
expensive part is growing the shrimp. Packaging shouldn't be that man
power intensive.
