"We sold zero ‘Made in the USA’ shower heads."
Sometimes the U.S. version was the top, pre-selected option, and other times the Asian version was, van Meer said.
The cheaper option was purchased 584 times compared to zero purchases of the "Made in USA" version.
Van Meer shared the results on X, in a post viewed 10 million times as of Wednesday.
Whether Americans support tariffs or not, van Meer said he hopes they recognize that most businesses are operating on thin margins.
