Produkte mit dem Prädikat «Made in Germany» 174

1.Haribo 174

1. «Made in Germany» galt schon bei unseren Vorvätern als Qualitätsprädikat. Ursprünglich war das Siegel von England 1887 erfunden worden, um die Produkte vom Europäischen Kontinent kenntlich zu machen. So wollten sich die Engländer von billigen Nachahmungsprodukten aus Deutschland schützen. Da die Waren in der Regel gut waren, setzte sich «Made in Germany» nicht nur in England, sondern weltweit als Qualitätssiegel durch. Das anfänglich gegen deutsche Produkte gerichtete Gesetz erwies sich als Fehlschlag. 176
