A community dedicated to talking about, discovering, flaunting and discussing consumer products that are made in Europe by European companies.

Definitions:

Consumer Products: anything that you and I, as regular people, can buy. We all love Gripen fighter jets, but they don't belong here.
Made in Europe: Manufactured and readily available in the European Union, Ukraine, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, UK etc. The more local, niche, artisanal, environmentally friendly or socially responsible, the better.
European companies: Independant companies or companies mostly or fully owned by other European companies.

Rules:

Don't be a cunt. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia or any other kind of discrimination. Authoritarian and autocratic regimes apologists won't be tolerated either.
Only post about consumer products. Our sister communities are overrun with posts about EU economic and trade policies, defense spending or industry trends. Any post like that will be deleted.
Exceptions can be made to promote tech companies who can't (yet) build their products in Europe yet are fully European and privacy respecting (examples include FairPhone, Jolla, Polar etc.)

Hello, i am working in a cinema and we are trying to replace the snacks we have with european and maybe a little more fair alternatives. What we are still struggling with are chips like pringles and M&Ms. We tried to replace pringles with the brand "kesselchips" once, but it proved to be not very economical as people didn't buy it for a long period of time. Do you have other ideas on what snacks to use as alternative that might be a bit more similar in the looks? (For example coke is pretty easy as fritz-cola looks and sounds very similar in name)

Treets could be a nice alternative to M&Ms. It was once a product by Mars but is now a trademark of Katjes Fassin GmbH + Co. KG, Germany.

At the supermarket, they even have versions with non-plastic packaging.

A possible alternative to M&Ms would be Lacasitos, from Spanish company Lacasa. No idea about the price, you'd have to compare.
