NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Jerks in the American media would have you believe all of America's iconic products are made elsewhere and American manufacturing is circling the wide, stinky drain to irrelevance. 
 
 As the American media outlet that suggested just such a thing this year, we feel inclined to tell you that it's not exactly true. 
 
 No,Chuck Taylors,Jeans,dolls and eventools aren't strictly "Made In The U.S.A." anymore, despite 61% of Americans tellingand Harris they'd pay more for American-made products. Yes, the University of Michigan says American manufacturers make only 75% of the items America consumes and may make less if manufacturing continues to be neglected. That doesn't mean there aren't still great items being produced on our shores each day under brand names Americans have loved for generations.

 In fact, the U.S. is even encroaching on the turf of some of its biggest rivals.

 Nothing says 'America' like an ice-cold can of mass-produced beer. 
 
 Anheuser-Busch announced Tuesday that the company is replacing the Budweiser logo with “America” on its 12-oz. cans and bottles this summer. 
 
 The cans of patriotic nectar will be available May 23 through the November election and aim “to inspire drinkers to celebrate America and Budweiser's shared values of freedom and authenticity.” 
 
 The company is no stranger to American-themed summer cans, which have been transformed into American flags and featured the Statue of Liberty in the past. This year, the cans and bottles will try to stir American pride with lines from the Pledge of Allegiance and lyrics from The Star Spangled Banner. 
 
 Apparently, the Belgium-based megabrewer, which owns more than 200 brands globally, including Corona and Stella Artois, knows the way straight to our checkbooks. Throw some America on it! 
 
 Ricardo Marques, vice president of Budweiser, notes that with Americans partaking in the Summer Olympics and the Copa America Centenario soccer tournament being held in the U.S., the cans are an ideal way to salute the United States. 
 
 "We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen,” Marques said in a statement. 
 
 Changing the name to "America" is potentially a risky move for the brand, which already "says America, without saying it," according to John Immesoete, Chief Creative Officer of global marketing agency Epsilon. 
 
 "They are basically taking a brand name they’ve spent billions of dollars behind worldwide, and tossing it aside for a while and putting 'America' on it," said Immesoete, who has worked on past Budweiser Super Bowl campaigns, but is not associated with the "America is in Your Hands" campaign. 
 
 He notes that while some consumers may be intrigued by the new can design, others will likely be alienated by the company's attempt to literally "package America." 
 
 Drink it up, America.

Sources on Juicy's home planet – L.A. -- told Racked that several locations have already gone belly up, and those that are still open are offering sales of up to 70 percent off everything. Not only that, but the company's recently announced collaboration with shoe brand Steve Madden – snarkily described by Racked this month as "your early aughts dream come true" – will reportedly only be available internationally. 
 
 The company – much like those once iconic, expensive, yet one-step-away-from-a-Snuggie brands Lululemon and American Apparel -- has seen better financial days. Last fall its parent company Kate Spade & Co. sold it to American Brands Group, a decade after its founders Gela Nash-Taylor and Pamela Skaist-Levy sold it off to Liz Claiborne for a reported "$56 million, with a $200 million earn-out." Back then, you couldn't walk down an exclusive, expensive street without thinking you'd stumbled into the King of Prussia Mall, in an era when velvety, brightly colored tracksuits, preferably teamed with a pair of Uggs, were a totally legitimate fashion choice whether you were Jennifer Aniston or that Parliaments-smoking cat lady who lives down the hall. "We have a weirdly large demographic," Nash-Taylor once said, "from kids to 65-year-olds." As the Guardian fondly recalled this week, for her wedding to Kevin Federline, Britney Spears' bridal party donned Juicy tracksuits emblazoned with "Pimps" and "Maids." Was there ever such an unflattering fashion trend so enthusiastically embraced by people who actually had enough money to not look like they roll their hair in orange juice cans?
– Who says America is losing its touch? Well TheStreet did earlier this year, listing 10 iconic American brands now made overseas—like Levi's Jeans, Converse sneakers, and even American Girl dolls. But things aren't all bad, and it is Independence Day. So in the spirit of patriotism, TheStreet decided to list some iconic brands still made in the US of A. Like: Louisville Slugger: As the name implies, MLB's most popular bats still hail from Kentucky. Indian Motorcycles: This century-old company recently moved its factory—from North Carolina to Iowa. Slinky: Still ambling down out of Pennsylvania, as it has been since 1945. Gibson Guitars: The original Kalamazoo plant closed in 1984, but Les Paul is still all-American. The guitars are hand-crafted in Nashville. Kohler Fixtures: Did you know the name "Kohler" refers to Kohler, Wisconsin? Or that the company's products have been made there since 1912? Now you do. Weber Grills: While Weber's gas models are made overseas, its classic black-domed charcoal grills are still made in Palatine, Illinois.
