I wouldn’t notice this at my local Penny. They’re sometimes weird with their shelves.
Amerika Woche bei Lidl gecancelled
Ist das ein Wunch oder ein Fact?
How can we be sure Philadelphia cream cheese is from America?
Also how is philly cream cheese cheaper in germany than at my local stores right next to philly god this country is shit.
Really? 12€/kg you could get some good cheese for that price. I rarely buy this as I considere it pricy.
It’s probably produced in the EU, maybe not even by Mondelez itself but some license-taker, but it’s still an American brand.
Also it’s overpriced. Never came across any store-brand stuff that’s worse in any way. The domestic name brand would be Exquisa.
99% sure it’s made in Germany when sold there. Would have to look on the backside.
As for the price, I am pretty sure US products tend to use larger sizes packing wise. These should be 250g - and the price is definitely one reason not to buy. The same product can be bought for half off-brand
Because every food item in the US is crazy expensive? When I was there in January, there were Chip-Bags for 4-8$. In Germany, a potato-chip bag starts at 1.10 and the national brands at 1.99. I love potato chips. But I do not buy 5$ bags. Thats crazy.
I want to get off Uncle Sam’s Wild Ride.
So… What’s going on with the flipping? I can’t appreciate any labeling difference.
It started in Canada, where Canadians would flip American brands upside down. It quickly became a sort of “hey FYI this shit is American” signifier. It made the boycott much easier, because you could just look at what was upside down and avoid it. And now it’s catching on in parts of Europe as well.
Flipping upside-down, backwards, sideways, and sometimes a combination has become a visual way in Canada to denote a product is an American brand. This post is about that visual flag starting to catch on in Europe, at least in Berlin.
Thanks! But… Only the top row? I guess it was too messy to do it to all of them.
That’s cool. Will start this when I am next somewhere shopping.

But why would the clerk put in effort to take the product out of the box and put it back on upside down?
Which group of pixels am I meant to be focusing on?
Edit: Came back to look at this later and the picture seems to be loading like normal now. Looked like a Community Crib Sheet the first time I saw it.
I investigated this. It seems that the image host does not play nicely with mobile clients.
Here is a dump of the post data

The thumbnail (generated by the lemmy server):
And the original url:
It looks like loading the image from the original URL behaves differently based on the device, browser etc. On a Lemmy client it returns a tiny image which is why it’s so pixelated for some users. It returns the same tiny image when loaded from mobile Chrome. However on desktop Firefox the image resolution is fine.
This is what it looks like on mobile:
Hmmm I’m using Thunder and the image loads fine.
Philadelphia upside down.
the cheese is in distress
I saw a different picture with Philadelphia cheese. And I’m guessing it’s about putting the cheese upside down.
Until the upper class gets worried, the US won’t change. Thank you Europe, keep making the 1% sweat at their next board meeting.
Go Germany!
