Hello, i am working in a cinema and we are trying to replace the snacks we have with european and maybe a little more fair alternatives. What we are still struggling with are chips like pringles and M&Ms. We tried to replace pringles with the brand "kesselchips" once, but it proved to be not very economical as people didn't buy it for a long period of time. Do you have other ideas on what snacks to use as alternative that might be a bit more similar in the looks? (For example coke is pretty easy as fritz-cola looks and sounds very similar in name)

coca cola also produces locally - I still avoid them and try to use Euro brands.

    Yeah my priority is basically as followed:

    1. Made in the EU + owned by european corpo
    2. Made outside EU, but owned by European corpo
    3. Made anywhere but US by a non-US corpo
    4. Made in Eu, but owned by an US corpo
    5. Made in the US and or by a us corpo

    But i have to be fair to myself and spend my money wisely, and basically only 4 and 5 can persuade me to spend more money than i should. Only avoid 5 is hard enough also, because if you dig deep enough you almost always come across the us in the supply chain of either goods or services (payment systems is an obvious example here, but also every company uses us software etc)

    Same for me although if given the choice, I'd also prioritise it like:

    decentral, unionised worker-owned co-op (DUWOC) > government-owned (one that respects human rights) > company, government that doesn't respect human rights.

    We'll need transparency and make it easy for people to support DUWOCs.
