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 (1727โ1792)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Donald_Trump#Family_tree
Billionaires will say they're self made and be related by blood to every big corpo CEO in some way
Theres a reason the royals would keep relationships blood related....
What's a European alternative that still has the same vinegar flavor of Heinz? Not a big fan of Felix.
Felix plus some vinegar?
Chef ketchup in Ireland is quite vinegary, but I donโt know if itโs available elsewhere.
IKEA is pretty good but I wouldn't compare it to heinz
Ooh, I didn't know they had ketchup! I'll try it!
In France we have Amora. We also use it for BBQ sauce. Kids love it.
Mutti has come out with a pretty good ketchup recently
What's happening here?
Simple way to signal american products if you want to participate in the boycott.
That's clever!
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"
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.
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
That costs money. This is essentially free to setup.
True but it is also easy to not notice it.
the heinz end
