Buy American? No Thanks, Europe Says, as Tariff Backlash Grows.

Just remember all the software (games and apps) and media that is produced in America
Just remember that Sony (PlayStation) or Nintendo is not American and neither is Ubisoft.
No matter how much I despise the US, I don't think I'd ever pick Nintendo or Ubisoft over American game companies. Those two alone are doing wonders to destroy everything we used to love about video games.
But they produce some of their games in the US.
Outside of Software, I can't think of anything I buy that's American.
I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.
Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.
For example: A scary amount of Europeans don't know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their "processed cheese product". And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.
Coca-Cola also own a lot of "local" flavoured drinks.
At least coca-cola have the courtesy of making the ownership known so brand loyalist can support the billionaire they like, while i can easily identify who to boycott.
Mondelēz might be international but productions are local. They have plenty of manufactures all accords France, Belgium and Netherlands, to stick with the ones I know.
