Favourite Flavour
these labels are getting ridiculous lol
what’s next, sold in canada? consumed in canada?
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.
There’s no Canadian English either. American English is the only language I see on this bag.
Honestly, that’s how 99% of people in Canada spell in English anyway.
No, it’s not.
You put random “u” in armor and color? Nonsense.
It’s not random. Source am American that reads a lot.
Noah Webster, in his efforts to standardize American English, simplified spellings by removing the “u” in words like “colour,” “honour,” and “favour”.
I spell most words the British way. But it’s gray, not grey.
Wait you hear how us Canadians pronounce Lieutenant. I am almost 70. I was taught in school (Canadian) that is how you spell colour armour and a whole lot more. So easily forgotten things are after a couple/ of decades with our present and eroding school systems.
Yes?
Where did you get this statistic? Sounds like bullshit to me. I have been making it a point to spell it with the Us all my life.
72% of statistics are just made up
But only 50% of the time.
Sounds like my uncle’s roulette strategy, that always works, 50% of the time.
Slightly less than 50% of the time. The house owns a few of those slots…
Bingo!
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.
All dressed is somewhat common in Canada, but it’s not really a thing in the US. That’s probably the reason for the label.
Thanks, my friend.
Y’all are doing great with the boycotts btw, I’m seeing a mix of imported products at my stores. Like one of the whiskey bottled here in the states I’m now seeing half the bottles imported from the UK.
Thanks! I hope to be able to end it but I just don’t see how at the moment :(
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.
Apparently it was taken in the USA. I assumed it was taken in Canada too.
Fair! This still seems like it’s angling to attract people who want to buy Canadian, and so it still feels a little misleading to me.
Yeah I saw the comment from /u/TwinTitans before I posted, and looked closer at the American spellings in the photo. So not a total assumption :)
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.
Wow 220 mil. They sure are a quiet bunch.
Hey man I’m pissed about it too. 120 million isn’t enough. 200 million probably isn’t enough. We need so many more.
But if you find yourself without allies, that’s not my fault. Europe is sliding toward fascism as well.
I was in Canada recently. Ketchup chips? No thanks. All-dressed were pretty good though.
