Here is a list of French products...they are run together, but you get the idea..
Products to Avoid
The most effective thing you can do to protest is to avoid travel to France. Americans spend over $5 billion tourist dollars in France annually. If you're planning to visit France, cancel your trip and go somewhere else!
The following is a list of French products you'll want to avoid. You don't need to throw away what you have, simply choose a competing American (or British, Australian or Spanish!) product when it's time to purchase again.
