Poland: the new success story?

[MadImmortalMan]

I hear the roads suck.


So infrastructure spending must not be the way to prosperity after all.

On a different note, how many languages (and which) are your product labels printed in?  Spanish is showing up on more and more stuff here in the States.

Labels?  Almost always just English.

Lists of ingredients, though, are normally in loads of languages.

I can't think of many Polish products outside the Polish section of a shop.

Both you guys please do me a favor and next time you're in the ubermarkt scan around and see if spot any Polish labels.

Polish labels as in Polish language? I am pretty sure that I won't find any in a normal German supermarket. Just about everything here is labeled in German.

French as well.  Many products I buy are trilingual these days.  Probably so they can use the same packaging for the entire North American market.

Mostly German. Some imported stuff has multi-language descriptions. List of Ingredients are often in multiple Euro languages.

I just had a brief look in my kitchen and found Finn Crisp crispbread, made surprisingly in Finland.

The label is in English/German/Swedish, the list of ingredients is in English, German, Swedish, Danish/Norwegian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and Greek.

Woah.  That must be small print.

Pepperridge Farm cookies are one of the few things I can think of that are sold with an American label in a supermarket here.

The label is in English/German/Swedish, the list of ingredients is in English, German, Swedish, Danish/Norwegian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and Greek.

Google image search really has everything.

I guess I meant like a recognizably Polish brand.

[Zanza]

I can't think of a single Polish brand. Maybe in the liquor part of the supermarket? The Vodka with grass in it is from Poland, no? But I don't know the name of the brand.

Unlikely, as most stuff is probably produced under own brand for supermarkets like Lidl or Aldi.

There is a Polish food brand called "Krakus", mainly pickles as far as I can work out, they are sold in the UK in non-Polish shops.

The beers and vodkas of course.
