People are doing the same in Canada with US products.
American here, good.
The rest of the world needs to start competing with the US instead of suckling its teat.
Everyone will be better off for it except for the conmen taking America for a ride right now.
โthatโs illegalโ

We should do that to US foods in the US.
We should do that to US ~~foods~~ flags in the US.

I could tell this was Lidl just from the font on the prices.
If I want to boycott American, buying Lidl and Aldi own brands is an easy way to do this, yes? I'm doing this by default because I have an easily navigatable Lidl that I can walk to.
I am American and I am doing all my grocery shopping either at Aldi or from farmer markets now. Fuck Musk, fuck Trump, and fuck the US for falling to fascist oligarchy.
Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Democracy

Lidls owner Schwarz is heavily invested in an Israeli "cybersecurity" start-up run by a former Mossad director. As always with Israeli "cybersecurity" that embraces "former" ties to intelligence, you should expect ongoing ties to Israeli and US intelligence agencies.

These are the kind of people that helped get Trump elected.

A single random picture isn't actual evidence of this happening at all.
I saw this in a Canadian article as well.
People check to see if they're American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn't have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.

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.

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 wonโt buy a Tesla this year. In fact, I wonโt buy TEN Teslas.

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.
This image alone proves that governments only care about monopolies in writing ๐
Edit: Aw fuck, Ms Vickies is Canadian but owned by Pepsi? Fml. So in the end, it's not really Canadian. We can't have anything good...
TIL Garnier is affiliated with Nestlรฉ. And here I thought I found good vegan bleach to dye my hair. Smh my head
