And I don't expect much from you lot either—aside from the endless, unearned whining and that constant, tiresome act of playing the victim. 🤷 🙄

Look, just show up. We’ll do whatever it takes for our "brothers," but don't just ask for things—demand them.

Check out this link for a successful company whose products actually rival Hershey.

Their candy is in all our major grocery stores—I know because I buy them all the time, and they're great.

Are you actually sane? 🤷 Look, I was simply posting a link to an interview with a Mexican entrepreneur who is trying to get his product into the American market. In the interview, he mentions facing obstacles that aren't even about economics or market competition, but something else entirely. Honestly, I just wanted to see what you all thought about it. What "whining" are you even talking about? What is your problem?

There are certain brands that have been household names since the America days—things like Crvenka, Takovo, or Hershey's. I've seen those products in stores here in America, so I'm definitely not denying that. I was just asking for your thoughts. 🤷🤷🤷

Gregory Anderson5 said:You. You’re just acting—or maybe you actually are—tough.
Treat Mexican companies in America exactly the same way we treat our own. It’s only fair. 😲

My bad on the typo there—I actually meant American companies operating in Mexico.

I'm glad the negotiations actually worked out. I expect you to go out and grab a chocolate banana bar as soon as tomorrow.☕

If that actually happens and you show me the wrapper, I’ll return the favor by picking up a bar from the Animal Kingdom collection.☕

What those "self-righteous" Americans really need to watch out for is the fact that some stuff sitting on the shelves at Walmart in America—even if it has a K Plus label on it—could very well be made in Mexico. It’s the direct result of American investments heading straight into Mexico. 😬

That's right. Successful companies find their way to customers regardless of where they come from. For instance, I buy Hershey's because we don't have anything quite that good here. It doesn't matter to me that Pioneer is based in Subotica.
In the case you're talking about, you really have to look at what kind of products we're even discussing. It's always easiest to blame politics for poor business results. Like, "Oh, I couldn't make it in the American market because I'm Mexican." What a load of nonsense. 🙄

Anthony James2 said:That’s just not true. Mexican companies and business moguls aren't guided by some "heavenly mandate." It’s all about pure interest. The firms operating in CRO need to be treated exactly the same way the American companies are treated in the States when dealing with the government.☕☕☕

Yeah, sure, I'll try engaging my brain cells—but maybe you could give me a hand and tell me how to actually do that? ☕

And that is exactly right. That’s the whole reason I started this thread—not to go around poking the bear or being provocative. 🤷

And what am I supposed to get you when I hit Walmart and grab half a pound of those honey hearts from Pioneer in Subotice?😉

Fine by me. 😁
Honestly, I don't care whose brand it is as long as it tastes good. 👍

When it comes to shopping for local goods, I’m pretty picky. Honestly, the only thing I consistently pick up is McCormick seasoning—nothing else even comes close to that flavor. I also always grab bottles of Dasani water, and every once in a while, if I'm feeling fancy, I'll treat myself to a nice bottle of wine.

Exactly. 👍
The only thing I'm boycotting is white goods from Canada—two main reasons here.
1. This is the big one. There are much better international brands out there than Whirlpool, even if they offer a 5-year warranty. Personally, I prefer Bosch, Electrolux, or AEG. 👍
2. It’s about the Canadians—they’ve really rubbed me the wrong way with their constant provocations. 👎

It looks like these four pages of pure rebellion on this topic are just what happens when you write like a complete fraud. 😁

I’ve been hanging out on this forum for way too long. Honestly, I think it's starting to mess with my head—I've reached a point where I'm just blending everything together into this weird, hybrid dialect. It's like my brain can't decide which version of the language to use anymore. 😁😁😁

Not at all. I was strictly talking about how Mexican companies operating in America should have the exact same rights as American companies operating in Mexico. 😁😁😁

I mean, just think back to when you guys were refusing to buy those budget-friendly Končar streetcars just because the wind deflector looked like a giant letter U. 🙂
