Everyone of course knows Fentimans and Fritz-kola. But there is also Cockta from Slovenia and Kofola from Czechia. Does anyone else knows of local EU coca-cola alternatives that we might want to explore? And of course, where we can buy them online:

Cockta

Kofola

The Süddeutsche Zeitung is reporting on the buy European movement. And thus time it is not a newspaper with questionable reporting, but one of the largest German daily newspapers and arguably one of the best.

The article is likely paywalled.

Do you think an European Citizens' Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I'm sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

American authorities have turned to the industry association Danish Eggs and asked about the possibility of exporting eggs to the USA, reports Danish TV2 with reference to the industry magazine Fødevarewatch. The egg shortage in the USA is due to bird flu. Over 40 million animals were put down last year and prices have been driven up, which has created a political debate. Among other things, President Donald Trump blamed egg prices on former President Joe Biden in his speech to Congress. Whether Denmark will export eggs is unclear. A number of export requirements stand in the way at present, according to Danish Eggs.

From another comment below:

From the Danish media: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/business/2025-03-14-usa-beder-danmark-om-hjaelp

There are a few additional points

• Multiple European countries have gotten similar requests, not just Denmark

• American egg policy requires washing the eggs while European policy prohibits this, making it highly inconvenient.

• They would want assurance that America won't suddenly put tariffs on the eggs.

• If america were to pay upwards of 1€ per egg, maybe they'd have a deal.

In the last weeks several databases and websites emerged around the idea of buying European, or local.

Coming from different communities overviews of products and services can (for example) be found at the following websites:

• https://www.buy-european-made.eu/ : Community based database. Make your own suggestions!
• https://european-alternatives.eu/categories : First comer. Dev can be found on mastodon for suggestion.
• https://buy-european.net/categories : Community based database. Make your own suggestions! Devs can be found on mastodon and lemmy.
• https://github.com/uscneps/Awesome-European-Tech

If you are using Firefox or Chrome you can be nudged to do better by using the opensource Go-European-Plugin:

• Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/go-european/klmgadmgadfhjgomffmpamppmkajdloc (If you know any other starting points feel free to comment.)
