Is there actually any evidence of this happening? Isn't this just a photo of a couple items upside down in a shop?

The more people know about this, the mรธte they can do these things themselves

Like, you and I could do this to our local shop for example, although, I'd probably talk with the workers there first haha. If the workers are going to keep flipping them back then there won't really be too much point

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.

I asked my friend and in Canada people are doing this as well as other more aggressive tactics to flag American products.
