That’s atleast better than picking up a product and leaving it somewhere else because you decided that you didnt need it anymore.
What if, in this case, the ‘somewhere else’ is in the bin? Or just randomly chucked through the ceiling tiles?
A sort of fruit based ‘paint ball’ would surely stop them from importing US produce.
That’s not fair to the workers in the store. It’s not management that’s cleaning up.
Sorry, I was joking. I don’t actually think fruit paint ball is safe or productive.
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.
love me some direct action.
I’m waiting to see this done with Teslas.
Sadly it’s more difficult to turn computers, websites, tech services, and operating systems upside down.
It’s a nice idea for small physical products but it would also be nice to have a movement to boycott and give alternatives to American tech services.

This makes me feel not super great… thanks…I hate it…
I’m almost there! Gonna install a new OS on my phone in the weekend, then I’m completely murica free.
Next step: convincing and helping others
Edit: except my payment cards, although I try to use my phone whenever I can (which still uses SWIFT, I guess)
Graphene?
That’s the idea! Although I also found one other OS that looks cool, but the name escapes me rn.
Have you made the jump?
Not yet, though I suspect I will when I need to update my phone (you need a pixel for Graphene), but there’s also lineage os
Sadly, graphene doesn’t support many banking apps, which makes for a shitty user experience. Liked everything else about it but not being able to access muh money on the go was a dealbreaker for me.
I’m one of the many recent immigrants from reddit so I guess that’s my start to alternatives.
I don’t think I can walk away from many of the American tech services I use, but what I have done is reviewed what I use, change what I can and walk away from what I can. I’ve curtailed my optional spend on American companies, goods, and services. We can all do that at least.
Ah, I didn’t see this post.

Thanks!
Fine, we’ll just make our products spherical.
Lol
So they roll upside down by themselves?
There is no up or down with spheres. Checkmate Canadians!
How is the label printed?
Ps: there is no up or down for cubes or prisms either, it’s all about the label.
Yes, I’m fun at parties.
Symmetrical circular qr codes placed symmetrically of course 🫠
I meant that the placement of the circles would be symmetrical with respect to each other.
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.
Both
seems like a pretty bad idea, i think this is just gonna inconvenience the workers. officially “made in EU/USA” labels would be better imo
I can’t speak for every worker, but I was a grocery clerk. Facing is a regular part of the job, and it’s for a good cause. It wouldn’t bother me
Labels would be better but US producers aren’t going to label their products voluntarily are they.
It’s a great way to communicate foreign products to other shoppers and remind people that buying local is still important after the news cycle moves on.
It may be somewhat inconvenient for employees but that will financially inconvenience employers and encourage them to discontinue more foreign product lines.
I love the idea!
Oooh yeah that is a good idea
Have I mentioned how much I love my Canadian neighbors? Good job!
Clever. I approve.
It’s great because it will also affect people who don’t care
Im from the USA: This is the only way to show MAGA. If they start losing money the corporations will dump them.
do people feel they need to screenshot as they don’t want to appropriate it or is it just a convenience thing where cutting and pasting text does not work so screenshots instead? Im curious as I have a text bias.
One reason could be that it makes the post start with three implicit upvotes because you know there are at least three other people who like this idea.
