honestly if they actually pull out american supermarkets are just gonna stock up on even more mediocre domestic brands and most people wont even notice the difference

I know we Europeans are sometimes very critical of Americans, but withdrawing Garofalo and La Molisana while leaving Barilla on the shelf is just cruel.

Is Italian pasta actually popular in the USA though? I mean I thought they mostly prefer good ol’ American garbage pasta, “kraft dinner” and whatnot š

Americans have one huge problem⦠if they ādonāt know betterā, they are trained to beleive that what they can get in US (especially if it is āproducedā in US) is the best⦠or at least acceptable. There is no āacceptableā pasta brand which is really made in US, because US does not grow right kind of grains. But⦠if you put enough ācheeseā on the domestic brands⦠the ācheeseā part is all you can taste.

What are these prices? I might be influenced by pasta being all local, so below 1⬠during sales, but if they manage to make money with this price… Even at like 2-3 dollars with ship shipping should be fine?
Still, leaving Barilla there and retiring Rummo and Molisana Is a big loss for Americans.

Isn’t that what they want with the tarrifs? Push out imported competition, so that local producers have less competition, and increase their margins. Sounds counterproductive. If you can still make any profit in selling to US, selling there means money flowing to Europe, and if you want to make a point about damage of the tariffs to common people, products that they can’t easily replace with local ones would be better for that.
