Name Brand loyalties

[molly bloom]

Oh, I like Lush products too.


And I usually buy my rasmalai and chewda at the Ambala shop.

[Sirotnikov]

adidas shoes (i have other brands, but this is the main one)
usually only a small group of fashion companies (local ones)
i prefer coke


anything google....

i used to like anything symantec, but i hate them so much since their software has become super bloated and targetted at stupid people.


i tend to go to familiar stores and 7-11's if they have nice clerks or low prices.


edit: and my default beer (when there is nothing dark or i'm on a budget) is red label tuborg.

Oooh, I dearly missed Ambala in Australia. I had to make do with Chinese and Viet Namese treats instead.

I love my Ambala- gulab jaman, bombay mix, peda, laddoos, cham cham and their gajjar halwa....

Just tried Diet Coke with Splenda. It tastes like Diet Coke. I'm rather disappointed. I was hoping it would taste like Classic Coke. But it's ¢79 instead of $1.09 for a cold one, so I'll keep drinking the for now. It also has a slight lime taste.

I prefer these brands, but won't shy away from buying alternative brands if the individual product is good:

Jameson whiskey
Rockport shoes
Deutsche Grammophone CDs (followed closely by EMI and Decca)
Levis jeans
Sony for reasonably-priced electronics
Ralph Loren dress shirts
Dockers khaki pants
Minute Maid brand lemonade
Colgate toothpaste
Morningstar Farms vegetarian food
Tide laundry detergent
Coca-Cola products
Gap t-shirts
Cabot cheese

frightening how many of my product preferences match yours (though I dont think of myself as particularly brand loyal)

esp:

Rockports
Morningstar Farms veggie links, patties and strips (all kosher)
Cabot Cheddar

[Kontiki]

Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein for suits
Hugo Boss for shirts
Hugo Boss and Armani for ties
Kenneth Cole for shoes
Colgate toothpaste
Tropicana juice

Not too much else I'm especially loyal to.

Kraft Singles for American Cheese Slices are truly better than their competition...

[Q Classic]

There are other things I'm loyal to that aren't necessarily brands, but just preferences:

I always buy 2-ply toilet paper, for instance. Always.
Canned beer is for cooking only. Doesn't matter what brand, really, but it's for cooking.

I don't really believe in brands, mostly, but I do believe in product lines. For example, I know that if you need a cheapo 2nd hand car, you simply can't go wrong with Subaru DL of the late 1980s.

Diet Coke with Splenda doesn't have that regular Diet Coke aftertaste, so that's a plus.

What a bunch of consumerist saps.
