Im from the USA: This is the only way to show MAGA. If they start losing money the corporations will dump them.
Keep doing it Canadians
Clever. I approve.
Oooh yeah that is a good idea
Maybe turn them around so they're all backwards. Might be better for odd-shapped containers
Only problem is, because of our languages laws, the back side is just the same label but in the other language.
I'm liking it simply upside down, label still forward. It kind of burns into memory seeing the familiar label upside down. I don't recognize the backs of most grocery shelf products.
Both
I love this.
Good idea, will be doing this in my german supermarket.
Fuck this nazi shit.
Darf ich wagen, Sie zu fragen, zu welchem Supermarkt Sie gehen?
Can we do this in the USA with Canadian products so we know to buy them?
I like that there’sa Canadian maple leaf on all the Canadian products but I would prefer an American flag on American goods. I don’t mind buying European or products of other countries, just avoiding the u.s.
That's friggin awesome.
Imma do this, but in Europe.
Kind of related: the largest supermarket in my hometown used to put "country of origin" flags next to wine bottles only. Now they're expanding them, aisle after aisle, to everything, it seems.
I'm gonna do this too... Oh wait. I'm American. Blast!
A little harder to tell origin, but you could do it for red state products...
You can still do it. 😉
Pff, Americans don't buy American, that shit is trash.
Just buy imported products… Ah, shit.
Lol.
This reminds me of someone who ones was really sad about "german quality", as they intentionally bought a tool box from a german brand. Turned out they, unfortunately, picked the cheapest one "Brüder Mannesmann". Which is basically a german sales front for whatever they can cheaply resell (so basically fancy AliExpress with a CE stamp). Their "rust-free" tools turned orange faster than even chinese bridges could collapse.
Unfortunately this whole price war causes actual german tool manufacturers like Bosch to go down in quality as well, at least for their value kits. Of course the same is true for Japanese' Makita. And with the Internet being infested with bots and paid reviews (i.e. lies) and local shops also being paid to tell you marketing nonsense… it's so god damn hard to find actual quality products.
Is there by any chance some Fedi channel equivalent to r/buyitforlife?
