Is there actually any evidence of this happening? Isn't this just a photo of a couple items upside down in a shop?

I haven't seen anything like that in any store or supermarket here in Spain. Nor even hear about this until now. So I say it's just a couple off items upside-down in a shop.

The more people know about this, the møte they can do these things themselves
Like, you and I could do this to our local shop for example, although, I'd probably talk with the workers there first haha. If the workers are going to keep flipping them back then there won't really be too much point
I asked my friend and in Canada people are doing this as well as other more aggressive tactics to flag American products.
Firsthand accounts of my friend in Canada who I speak to on discord on the daily

Based
On what

That shape would arguably be an even clearer indicator of american wares lmao
I wouldn't do it because I just don't feel like being that akward (it's already akward for me to be in a store).
But I do appreciate it, I do mostly buy store brand products so don't expect i'll be contributing much to the US brands.
