New Balance

For consoles, I will stick with Microsoft now, although I'll keep my Super Nintendo handy for FFVI.

For clothes, I buy AE Jeans because they fit me better than any other brand I've tried; Structure (now Express for Men) is another brand I like, although I will buy from 3 or 4 stores.

For cars, Ford.

Linksys networking devices. Green Giant asparagus spears.

Hugo Boss, Armani, and Chanel for cologne. Ecco and Clarks for shoes. Verbatim for CD-Rs/DVD-Rs. Victorinox is also a near-holy brand for me

Yes, but you are Italian and therefore insane.

And crap at football to boot!!!

Jif Creamy Peanut Butter.

Lesuer Young English Peas.

Diet Coke.

[Lancer]

Diss, are you done doing "something wild and crazy"? On bail and full of regrets? Spill dude, inquiring minds want to know!

[Q Classic]

Ones that haven't changed:
Coke.
nVidia (when ATi finally gets off of their ass and actually writes decent linux drivers, maybe I'll give them a second chance.)
Microsoft (just the mice. and just over Logitech.)


Mere preferences, as in, I'll probably choose them:
Samsung
IBM (laptops)

[MrFun]

Pepsi

Dell

All my tennis shoes are Diadora. Other brands are often too narrow.

IBM Thinkpad for notebook computers, they did a very good job making them.

Logitech for pointing devices. I have one that has lasted me seven years and is still working perfectly.

Samsung or Philips for LCD displays, when I can spare the $$$.

3M Post-Its, other brands of sticky notes just don't stick that well.

Zeiss or Contax camera lenses.

Belgian or Swiss chocolate

I avoid Sony products in general, they just aren't up to par in quality.

I aim to please

as for computer brands, I have no real loyalties. I buy whatever is cheap and still has good performance.

I used to have ndvidia, but now I have ATI. I'll probably go back to nvidia next time though, but maybe not. I have no preference for hard drives, cd burners etc. And of course I have no computer brand names, since mine are put together myself usually.

[Adagio]

The only brands I can think of right now that I (at least until now) have kept buying is Nvidia, Intel and HP, but I don't keep buying products from them blindly:
I did buy an ATI graphics card about a year ago since I kept hearing good things about it, but it failed too much so I went back to Nvidia
Until now I've only bought Intel processors, but the one I have now fails too much so next time it wont be Intel
The first printer I had was of some brand I don't remember anymore, I wasn't happy about it. Then I bought a HP printer and was pleasantly suprised (I didn't know about brands back then). Then I bought a Cannon printer (after hearing good things about it), but it spent more time in repair than at home so I ended up getting my money back and bought HP instead

Heinz baked beans. Every other single brand of baked beans sucks more than a black hole.

/me recalls in horror ASDA value baked beans

For media equipment, I've found sony to be the best, ie. movies and music. My MD player has lasted for over 3 years with no problems and in nigh constant use, which is rare in portable electronics these days. In fact, its usefulness and reliability have kept me away from MP3 players.

I used to be fairly loyal to Dell for laptops, but this is my last one. This is the second one I've owned where I had to have the harddrive replaced, and now the DVD drive is acting up. The next one I get will probably be a toshiba.

For toilet paper, I buy vinda. It's reasonably soft and a reasonable price.

Recently, I've discovered only Glad wrap is worth buying here for saranwrap.
