Point out that blue jeans could be made using only period materials
(IIRC): cotton was available, you might gave to dye them with woad
rather than indigo, I think the weave pattern was used, and the copper
for the rivets hadn't been a problem for several thousand years. 

When the scream of outrage subsides you can point out that mayo is just
the same.
