Berliners have also joined the movement and are working hard

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.

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.

Additionally to what others mentioned, Philadelphia 'cheese' is not from Philadelphia

Philadelphia upside down.

I investigated this. It seems that the image host does not play nicely with mobile clients.

Here is a dump of the post data

From this you can see there are two image URLs. The thumbnail (generated by the lemmy server):

• https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/6065a627-afc1-48a8-b29c-55e541f74bb5.jpeg

And the original url:

• https://i.postimg.cc/Ytmkvx0r/xzecxxmrwboe1.jpg

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:

I saw a different picture with Philadelphia cheese. And I'm guessing it's about putting the cheese upside down.

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.

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.

Ist das ein Wunch oder ein Fact?
