Much prefer this to the Canuck method of upside-down.
Spent an hour trying to balance a tabasco sauce yesterday.

I thought that was the Australian way.

They're putting the Yankee stuff right side up

Did you know that Trump is distantly related to the Heinz family? Both families have a common ancestor named Johann Paul Trump (1727–1792)

Billionaires will say they're self made and be related by blood to every big corpo CEO in some way

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

Theres a reason the royals would keep relationships blood related....

I will also contribute. To be fair i was already buying a lot of local products instead of american ones but that was because the local products were better. Coop pringles copy is straight fire and its european. Win win.

Simple way to signal american products if you want to participate in the boycott.

In case you're out of the loop on the whole thing, there have been a number of countries signalling the same thing but by turning products upside down. That's why this one is referred to differently "the Swedish way"

What's a European alternative that still has the same vinegar flavor of Heinz? Not a big fan of Felix.

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Felix plus some vinegar?

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

IKEA is pretty good but I wouldn't compare it to heinz

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 17 hours ago

Ooh, I didn't know they had ketchup! I'll try it!

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

In France we have Amora. We also use it for BBQ sauce. Kids love it.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

Chef ketchup in Ireland is quite vinegary, but I don’t know if it’s available elsewhere.

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 1 points 16 hours ago

Mutti has come out with a pretty good ketchup recently

I think a sticker / post it with the native word for boycott written on would be a lot easier and unambiguous to get the point across

[–] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That costs money. This is essentially free to setup.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

True but it is also easy to not notice it.
