Unless the east German product was made in the GDR, then it will probably outlive you. I have a table made in 60s east Germany and it’s still in impeccable shape and will probably last longer than me

Pretty much this. When this hole thing started I swore I’d never buy an American product again, but I quickly realized I didn’t buy much of it anyways… The only American food/drink that we have is junk food and soft drinks, i.e. stuff that’s easy to avoid or replace
