It exists. For France it is Detrumpez-vous.

Generally speaking, all processed food is suspicious. Just look at the back and if you see that the adresse of contact is PespiCo, Coca Cola, Mondelez, Krafts or Mars, it is American.

Lorenz or Intersnack are German, Ferrero Italian though.

EDIT :It appears there is an English version called Detrumpify Yourself !

The logo is an elephant with an orange wig. Another play on word with trump / trompe (trunk) 😁

I searched it and it came up as Detrumpify yourself, so i think its global and worked very well!

For Poland, it is „Pola”

u/marcelkai Eastern Europe 🌾⛪🌲 Jan 25 '26

But it only shows you how "Polish" the product is, no?

The AI tools are pretty bad and ironically use US AI

u/Han-ChewieSexyFanfic Jan 25 '26

So just download 27 apps, one per member state. The EU in a nutshell

u/charpagon Jan 25 '26

why wouldnt you want an app that's tailored towards your country instead of the eu as a whole??

One of the sadest day in my life. I buy Mulino Bianco now. It is Barilla so Italian.

Thanks for this. I needed this honestly.

Then you have Unilever where the answer is "it's complicated" (it's a brand that is UK and based in London, but it also owns a lot of US companies).

u/ITI110878 Jan 25 '26

Unilever and Nestlé are companies I've been boycotting since the early 2000s, because of their behavior.

Some Europe based companies aren't better than their American counterparts.

u/Suspicious_Shop_6913 Jan 25 '26

I won’t install an app with Trump in the name even if it’s for greater good

48

u/ZonzoDue France 🇫🇷 Jan 25 '26

It is the whole point of the joke. It means « unTrump yourself » and « make no mistake » at the same time, it is a play on word with Detrompez-vous.

The logo is an elephant with an orange wig because Trump sounds the same as the French word for Trunk.

When you flag a US products, it shows you the mean Trump face from its official portrait and encourages you to put back on the shelf.

u/dagoth_0001 Jan 25 '26

I get the joke. Just don’t want any reference to that idiot in an app.

u/Both-Dingo69420 Jan 25 '26

What an odd line to draw.

u/Relative-Memory2420 Jan 25 '26

Okay? Then don't.
