Still protest: Products upside down are now also visible in German supermarkets.

I'm considering doing this, but what do people do if they are confronted by the people who work at the supermarket?
Could it be seen as a form of vandalism?

Just act confused. Like you picked it up to look at it, decided you didn't want it, and put it back. It being upside down is coincidental.

You are right, It's probably not a biggie anyway.
But I was a bit curious if anyone had actual experience with it.

Funny how there wasn't a peep from them when Biden blew up their cheap Russian gas pipeline forcing them to buy wildly espensive fracking gas from the US, putting them in an uncompetitive position leading to recession.
I'm sure not buying Coke will even that out.
