Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?

Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.

Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

Thoughts? What's your opinion on the buy-Europe trend?

Really? Yeah, there are several dickhead countries I don't want to buy stuff from but that doesn't mean I want Europe to be even more insular and self-centred than it already is.

I do agree, it's unfortunate this ended up being 'Buy Europe' instead of 'Avoid certain countries', but it is what it is now. I guess the problem with 'Avoid certain countries' is nobody can agree on which countries exactly should be avoided. 'Buy Europe' sidesteps a lot of those complications.

Italy does this, but you have to look for the Italian flag. If it just says made in Italy on the container without the flag on the label it could be referencing just the container.

Overall, every company should do this but I guess there are companies that might go over country borders during production which if there are all EU countries then it should have a more generic EU flag.

I think it doesn’t matter if there’s a national flag on a product which is sold all over Europe. I believe people know which flag is European flag anyway. Or there might be both flags?
