If they’re removing lays then why are there still bags of lays chips on that shelf? And why not also remove Pringles?

They're not replacing anything, that's just the way Bret's usually is disposed like in supermarkets because they have so many flavours.

From what I see in the supermarkets around me, France is maybe the one country with the lowest anti-US product activist movement in supermarkets.

We have had Brets at my local place in Canada for a while now. Also, a better chip than Lays…

Where in Canada, and what store? I only ever see the usual US brands or store's own. As a massive chip guzzler, it's been traumatic having to go without.

Believe it or not, in Minden Ontario at the local IGA. For some reason they’re not with the regular chips, but they do seem popular.

France based on the labels

[–] pgmonge@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, it’s hard to be positively sure. Many labels in French supermarkets are actually printed in Dutch, this is the EU, and your subscription to lemmy is on a German server.

They sell Belin snacks outside of france?

[–] pgmonge@jlai.lu 1 points 8 hours ago

No idea. Maybe. Maybe not. Neither would be surprising.

The aioli ones are the best

Yeah nah, the porcini mushroom chips are better.
