Okay, that's two. Might not be enought for a GDP.

We went by a building one day and my friend said "they make plastic bags
there".
At first I thought "geez, that's pretty trivial", but then I started
thinking
about how many people use plastic bags. Even at $.01 per bag, that might
add up
to quite an empire.

Anybody know how many "Swiss army knives" are sold each year?

I'm guessing that although there's few "big ticket items" from
Switzerland,
there's quite a few little things, and they can add up...
