    Beaverton getting back to satire?

    > Vermeer further outlined the corporate strategy: “One trick we use is to put out a decoy box of strawberries with a big ‘Made In USA’ sign, which gets all of the customers riled up and angry to shop harder for Canadian products. Then, after a week, we take the rotten strawberries off the shelf, mush them into paste and combine them with local wood pulp, and sell it as ‘Canadian-made PC Brand strawberry jam’, which technically isn’t even lying.”

    I know its satire but there are enough people who would buy “Kanadian” labelled cocunut and not give it a second thought.

    The Walmart near me had coconuts labeled as ‘product of Canada’ when I went there two weeks ago.

  5. I keep seeing “product of Mexico or USA”. Wtf even is that? I just assume its from the States and don’t buy it

    Truthfully, right now I just want to identify what is made in USA vs elsewhere (Canada + not USA). I don’t mind buying some Euro or other products.

    They could label em from Canada and my reaction would be “did the Turks and Caicos join Canada?”
