In light of Trump's threat to put a 10% tariff on UK imports into the US, because we have opposed his threats to take over Greenland. We will not be bullied.

Here are some brands we might like to stop buying:

  • Hershey’s: Chocolate bars and sweets.
  • Kellogg’s: Breakfast cereals and snacks.
  • Heinz: Ketchup, baked beans, and canned goods.
  • Del Monte: Canned fruits and vegetables.
  • Duncan Hines: Cake mixes and desserts.
  • Kraft Heinz: Various products including cheese, pasta, and sauces.
  • Quaker: Oats, corn meal, and rice snacks.
  • Betty Crocker: Cake mixes, frostings, and baking essentials.
  • General Mills: Includes brands like Häagen-Dazs, Old El Paso, and Green Giant.
That's just food. Then of course there is Google, Apple, Facebook (Meta), Amazon, Microsoft And US cars - Ford AirBnB, Uber, X, Netflix Starbucks Macdonalds, KFC what have I forgotten?

I’m boycotting multiple threads on the same subject.

I could cope with all of these but not WhatsApp (Meta) or Audible (Amazon).

Find the other two threads already started today.

Apologies, but I didn't spot any in Active conversations before I posted.
