It's hard to boycott a lazy country like France that produces so little. I did find out that a cosmetics retailer that has stores in a few malls...Sephora...is owned by some French. Was one of the few things I found to boycott. Also, l'oreal and lancome cosmetics.

Will the French and Germans be hurt by an American consumer boycott? I hope so.

They voted with France and Germany to block military assistance to Turkey. Does that answer your question?

10. Don't drink french wine

I haven't in years. There are plenty of wines from California, Chile, Australia, and other places that are cheaper and better than French wines.
