Apps that can sort out American products in supermarkets are a hit in Denmark. This includes the two Danish-produced apps ‘Made O’Meter’ and the app ‘UdenUSA’.Â
It is 21-year-old Jonas Pipper who, together with his 22-year-old friend Malthe Hensberg, has developed the app UdenUSA. They are both from the small island of Mors in western North Jutland.
– It started nine months ago when we discovered the Facebook group ‘Boykot USA’, which completely took off. It had almost 100,000 users, Jonas Pipper tells DR News.
– Then we thought: It’s funny, there’s no tool to scan a product and find out where it comes from.

Boy cotting US made goods is a good start, money is all these idiots running our courty understand.
I beseach all other countries to sell all their US treasury bonds as well. Really tank our econemy, make their wallets suffer.

Tbh I imagine most of these brands are corporations like P&G, Unilever or general mills, and a lot of relatively conscious buyers in the US avoid these brands too (where possible)

I build industrial electronic devices. I have eliminated US made goods from my supply chain.
The simple reality was they generally kind of sucked in most cases. There are often European parts which are better, or chinese parts which are minimally better value for the money, and often are cheaper and better.
Even those parts which were “better” for example TI parts for processing sound, had a company which is run by assh*les; just not user friendly in a wide variety of ways. Using lesser parts ended up making for better products.

I honestly can’t think of a single product that I have bought in the last twelve months that is made in the USA. Perhaps people could suggest some items that we might be buying without realising their provenance.

Why were people in Europe eating unhealthy American food shipped across the ocean to begin with?
I would kill to not have to buy American groceries all the time and you people actively stocked your shelves with it until orange man did orange man things? Does Europe not already have better options?

the soft power of the United States is dead. When the republican party tells you they are better for the economy, and trumpf being a businessman will be an economic success, you subscribe to their cult which includes the rapture.
American’s will have to learn the hard way through our prosperity shrinking, our prestige gutted, and our brand needing decades of work to be seen in a positive light.
You voted for this America. Now feel the pain

Will people also stop using their tech from US companies? Doubt it. Will they also stop consuming US made media? Doubt it. The list goes on.Â
This is just meaningless virtue signalling.Â

People deserve the right to make informed decisions about what they’re buying. Not wanting to buy products exported by a country run by a child predator who’s trying to take over other countries isn’t surprising at all. This is the world we’re currently living in.
