You know whats Not on Roids, apparently? American-made ketchup. Seriously! Because now, it seems, disliking Donald Trump is manifesting as a full-blown existential crisis over your grocery cart. It’s gotten so bad in Denmark that people are using apps to avoid buying US products. An app called UdenUSA – genius name, by the way – is topping download charts like its the new Angry Birds. Because apparently, strategically dodging corn syrup is a national pastime now.
Germany isnt quite as dramatic (yet), but simmering resentment is definitely bubbling up. Experts are nervously whispering about “outrage and disgust,” which sounds less like market research and more like an intervention. Katharina Gangl suggests we might start seeing calls to ditch Amazon for Otto, which honestly, feels a bit like swapping one behemoth for another slightly less intimidating one.
The truly hilarious part? Companies are scrambling! McDonalds is desperately trying to convince everyone they’re “local” – as if a Big Mac can magically become German just by being eaten in Bavaria. And Tesla? A whopping 61% of Germans surveyed (in March 2025, mind you – the tariff war was just beginning) are saying Nein! to those electric cars.
Of course, retail chains like Lidl are pretending everything is fine – sales figures remain “high.” Because admitting your customers are suddenly boycotting your entire aisle of American delights would be… awkward. But dont hold your breath for a widespread revolt; apparently, even principled protestors have their limits when it comes to skipping the fries.
