All non eu products? Or jus american products
Is there a list somewhere of commonly found American products in European supermarket so that I can definitely not do a bit of this..?
I lose track of all the daughter companies and such that one should watch out for.
minus Nestle (sadly) and Unilever
This picture is going through the net for so long, still German news are trying to convince its readers that there aren't many American products on European supermarket shelves.
TIL Garnier is affiliated with Nestlé. And here I thought I found good vegan bleach to dye my hair. Smh my head
Minus Unilever as well.
Thanks, fixed it

“that’s illegal”

We should do that to US foods in the US.
We should do that to US ~~foods~~ flags in the US.
Is there actually any evidence of this happening? Isn't this just a photo of a couple items upside down in a shop?
I haven't seen anything like that in any store or supermarket here in Spain. Nor even hear about this until now. So I say it's just a couple off items upside-down in a shop.
You can be the change.
I asked my friend and in Canada people are doing this as well as other more aggressive tactics to flag American products.

Can we start a movement for this? Who's in?
Consider doing this in my supermarket.
As an American I implore you to start.
People are telling me to boycott Tesla and I'm over here like "I wasn't about to buy a $65k vehicle spontaneously but I guess won't now anyways."
My broke ass:
I won’t buy a Tesla this year. In fact, I won’t buy TEN Teslas.
When I was looking for a new vehicle last year, I had already crossed Tesla off the list because I think they're butt ugly, and I need buttons to at least operate the climate control. And I'm really glad I did.
I already skipped two/three products yesterday, one only after scanning it deliberately to find out whether I should avoid it.
Skipped products: Milka spread (Mondelez) and Schweppes. Bought European instead.
Direct action time
INB4 American companies redesign their packaging.
That shape would arguably be an even clearer indicator of american wares lmao
I wouldn't do it because I just don't feel like being that akward (it's already akward for me to be in a store).
But I do appreciate it, I do mostly buy store brand products so don't expect i'll be contributing much to the US brands.
Where’s the picture.
It was slow internet but only this one post wasn’t showing up. As soon as I got home things appeared
