My local Lidl has sodastream machines this week and I was wondering if its annoying/unnecessary to put a little post it note on it saying its an israel product or something

Edit: thanks for all the replies, I ended up messaging the customer service and I left a piece of paper with “boycott Israeli products” with my shitty handwriting on a sodastream box, I didn’t stick anything anywhere so hopefully this will avoid any “vandalism” accusations.

    Unnecessary or annoying are perhaps not the standard to judge this by. I think legally you could be in trouble. Inside your local supermarket isn’t the place for a protest. Trying to dissuade customers from buying certain products by tempering with the merchandise, even if it’s just a post it note, will at the very least get you barred from shopping there and at worst a day in court. If you are unlucky, this has the potential to be a decision you’ll rue.

    Look at what kind of protest is allowed where you are. Because the rules aren’t universal. But holding a placard on the public space in front of the store may be the safer option.

      Good point, though I’m not sure if companies here in Finland act so aggressively, especially Lidl which from my understanding is a (bit more)decent company in terms of employee conditions and they do have some of the best/broadest selection of vegan and vegetarian options, so I don’t think them selling sodastreams is as much of malicious as rather ignorant
