  1. “Premium quality” cheapens this so much.

    You shouldn’t need to follow a country of origin or brand with a generic claim to be good.

    The country/brand should be strong enough alone.

  2. By “made in Germany,” you mean assembled in an eastern country and shipped to Germany to package it and slap a new sticker on ?

  3. I have never seen a product branded as “made in the EU”.

  4. I have recently seen “Made in Poland” and it was all good stuff…

  6. I love going to flea markets and hunting for old yugoslav stuff.

  7. So true. 90% of the products with the EU Logo I have seen come from Poland. In terms of manufacturing, it’s basically become Europe’s china.

  9. We should finally ditch that whole Made in Country X Thing and move to “Made in Europe.”

  10. I remember accidentally buying milk that was “made in European Union”, in which case it’s not made in Eastern Europe, but it’s many milks from different parts of countries and cows, mixed into one.

    It was awful.

    Same goes for olive oil.

  11. Fun fact: I have a freezer that says Made in the EU in the Latin alphabet and then Made in Bulgaria in the Cyrillic alphabet. Nice way of filtering users!
