-
Inspired by Canada
-
"we thought about canada while making this"
-
-
Just a red maple leaf with no other explanation.
-
I saw a "distributed in canada" one :(

F L A V O R

There needs to be tighter regulation, in order to feature that Maple Leaf on the packaging at all it should have to be made 51% in Canada in my opinion.
-
Those are made in Canada, with Canadian potatoes, but all the money is going to the US, which is what really matters.
-
What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.
You geese did not invent the maple tree.
-
sorry, it's our Maple Leaf now you're going to have to draw a slightly visually distinct one, in a different color
-

No U in the word favourite? That's a no from me dawg.
-
It's missing in "flavour" too, actually.
-
They had one job! It was a job of bullshit and lies but still!
-

-
you'd think they'd at least pretend to spell words correctly.
-
lmao thanks for pointing that out, that's hilarious
-
-
This is in a US store? There’s no French on the bag.
-
It is.
But I tell you, I was excited to see the maple leaf and was ready to buy it until I looked closer.
It’s not just Canadians avoiding American made products. I make it a point to buy foreign.
-
I mean the idea is "canadians love this, maybe you should too, americans"
-
Ah, good ol maple washing.
-
Why isnt some smart Canadian politician using this? Seems like an easy issue. Easy to dress up in patriotism even. The "no stealing Canadian valor" act or something like. Be a good vote getter as well as good policy.
-
Switzerland has a law like this restricting the use of Swiss symbols to only products made entirely in Switzerland. That's why Toblerone had to change their Matterhorn logo.
-
australia does similar, but for all country of origin claims… the key phrasing is “representations to consumers” and “false or misleading”… ie you don’t have to specifically say “made in”
this would for sure be counted as a misleading representation, and this specific packaging would likely be illegal to sell in australia because it misleadingly represents that the products is somehow from/made in canada

Where's the lie though, eh
-
If you got a problem with all dressed chips, you got a problem with me and I suggest you let that one marinate.
-
ooh that makes it even better
-

-
Americans aren't allowed to enjoy Canadian culture now? Should they throw out their maple syrup and cancel hockey teams?
By all means, boycott American products. If this is sold outside the US, don't buy it. But otherwise I don't see an issue.
-
frito-lay is owned by pepsi, which is still not a company that you’d want to support
-
Yeah that's a very good point
-
-
You're looking at a post from lemmy.ca. I'm not sure why you assumed the picture was taken in the US.
Edit: despite the community, it is in the US - see comments below.
-
As far as I’m concerned you now fascist americans are not welcomed or wanted at all. Your child rapist felon president made sure of that. Funny thing, people get real pissed when some diaper filling brain dead pervert asshole pretending to be a president who is being manipulated by Thiel babbles on about taking Canada over. Go away.
-
I'm not exactly disagreeing. But keep in mind there are probably 120+ million people in the US who don't want any of this. That's 3x the entire population of Canada. I would never say numbers alone absolve anything, but you also can't accurately say there's universal American endorsement of this shitshow.

I was in Canada recently. Ketchup chips? No thanks. All-dressed were pretty good though.
