Old Dutch is the best. I grew up on the rippled sour cream and onion. I never got the lays appeal…
Old Dutch All Dressed is really good too! I get the sour cream and cheddar every once in a while. It’s weirdly addictive. I also grew up on their ketchup chips.
Sour Cream and Cheddar is definitely their best imo.
old dutch was always what we had when i was a kid. mom wouldn’t settle for anything less. it had to be old dutch chips in the box.
it is a minnesota company but their canadian operations is huge, with manufacturing facilities across the country.
Coca Cola is bad because… It’s owned by an American corporation, despite being bottled in Canada?
Why then are we suggested to buy Great Value? Is it because Walmart is an American corporation but it’s bottled in Canada?
I’ve seen this suggestion a few times before this post. Someone help it make sense.
And even if a company’s HQ is in America, their shareholders are probably all over. Personally I’ll only worry about the physical supply chain.
If Coke etc are canned in Canada do they get tariffs? The Canadian people deserve better than PC cola.
They shouldn’t, one of the goals of tarrifs is to encourage production in-country
I honestly believe this can be a net positive. Lots opportunities internationally. Plenty of natural resources .
These kinds of things bring people together. America doesn’t understand that.
Sadly Lowblaw and the other Grocery mafia are just going to hike the price of the domestic options to the same price as the US and start wailing about the gas tax and COVID supply chains.
I’m calling it now. Watch those fuckers. You’ll see.
As an American, honestly just avoid those brands in general. Not because they’re American made, but many of them are already shit to begin with. Maybe it’s shrinkflation, or all the wacky chemicals, or the way they treat their workers.
So take this opportunity not only to be patriotic to your Canadian country, but to also improve your own standard of living and buying better quality foods.
What part of Canada was this list created for?
Loblaws, I think.
Dawson’s, Piri Piri by PC, No Name hot sauce
In solidarity with Mexico I might just stick with El Yucateco.
I buy el yucateco because it tastes better. If America wants me to buy hot sauce made here they need to learn how to make it taste good.
You’ve pointed out an aspect of this that has escaped too many. You don’t fight nationalism with more nationalism. This trade war can only result in stronger trade partnerships with other nations.
Probably already mentioned, but afaik Tim Hortons is American now
Last I checked, Tim Horton’s is owned by Restaurant Brands International, which came to be as a merger between Tim Horton’s and Burger King. They are headquartered in Toronto. Their majority shareholder is a Brazilian investment company though.
Fair enough, seems I was wrong.
Toothpaste, soap, shampoo, shaving cream and especially razor blades are not food products.
Unless you are a MAGA supporter: in that case surely I have nothing to contribute to your knowledge of the world, so please go ahead.
Canada Dry isn’t Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.
I hate how deceptive names can be. You just think by default “oh this must be Canadian then”. So much homework to figure out the truth with all these conglomerates
At the very least, this should provide an incentive for Canadian brands to prominently display flags on their packaging. And, the fairly dysfunctional government should at least be able to agree to pass a law forbidding non-Canadian brands from claiming to be Canadian.
With billions at stake, there are bound to be companies that bend the rules and claim to be Canadian because 10% of the product comes from Canada, or something. But, at least it would be a step in the right direction. And hey, if those flags stay on for years after this spat, that’s a good thing too. We should be buying more locally, for environmental reasons if not economic ones.
as an aussie, this is all so fucked up… we have basically nothing here that’s canadian, but i’m certainly switching all my shopping and services away from US brands in solidarity (RIP vegemite :p)
global solidarity against the fucking bully
at the very least, anyone could be next… but even without that somewhat selfish take, canadians don’t deserve any of this
I wish more international trade was based on who shared our values, vs. what’s cheaper. Aussies, Canadians and Kiwis all share values far more than Canadians do with Americans, despite the close proximity and shared culture.
I think Canada imports some Aussie and Kiwi products, like some wines, some fancy honeys, etc. But, unfortunately, both Canada and Australia are mainly resource-based economies these days, and export a lot of raw resources to be processed into goods in other countries.
yeah 100% agree. most of our resources go to china to be processed into the stuff you buy
i’ll buy shit loads of maple syrup and be real happy about it - as expensive as it is here 🥺
Is Vegemite American made? Wow. My SO is Australian and his family would bring him some when they visited. We can only get Marmite here.
This isn’t going to be easy but the orange rapist doesn’t seem to comprehend that we can hit them where they live.
it’s owned by kraft yeah; i remember a big thing about it being sold in the 90s
we also have marmite, and another one that AFAIK is still aussie called promite (just skip the thermite for eating; that’s different)
Crikey that Thermite can be spicy!
well we ain’t here to fuck spiders after all ay
Fantastic list! Where’d you find it?
For anyone scrolling, add Rustica to the frozen pizza list. Siwin for excellent dumplings. Cheemo for perogies. I’ve just found them in the past few months and they’re all really well made.
I can’t wait for 2028.
Don’t forget the mid-terms in 2026. The damn Democrats better wake their asses up, take back the House and Senate, and start helping the dumb bastards in the red states or this shit will continue.
I hope you can vote in 2028
Print this and post it at your local grocery store.
Seeing all these American companies earnings go down next report would be glorious.
It’s funny because I was saying the same thing basically in support of the tariffs and lemmy was unhappy with me.
You were ahead of your time.
But also small businesses will suffer or collapse and that sucks.
Maybe it is more of a, “well now that they’re here what’s the silver lining”?
