How can we be sure Philadelphia cream cheese is from America?
Also how is philly cream cheese cheaper in germany than at my local stores right next to philly god this country is shit.
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.
Though, German chips are generally terrible
They are the same Lays.
Amerika Woche bei Lidl gecancelled
So… What’s going on with the flipping? I can’t appreciate any labeling difference.
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.
Until the upper class gets worried, the US won’t change. Thank you Europe, keep making the 1% sweat at their next board meeting.
Which group of pixels am I meant to be focusing on?
Edit: Came back to look at this later and the picture seems to be loading like normal now. Looked like a Community Crib Sheet the first time I saw it.
I investigated this. It seems that the image host does not play nicely with mobile clients.
Here is a dump of the post data

The thumbnail (generated by the lemmy server):
And the original url:
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:
Go Germany!
