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‘.
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.
