Im just curious if there is any products out there that you will absolutely not compromise in favor of better value, better taste, whatever. Brand loyalty is sort of interesting (maybe) and I would like to hear your thoughts on it. What type of product doesnt matter to you and what product will you absolutely not change brands for any reason?

My "I dont care": I dont care about toothpaste. I purposefully buy a different kind everytime I need toothpaste because it adds a bit of variety.

What I will not change: Jif Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter. Its the best! All others are second class and I will not skimp on peanut butter.



Marlboro's and Pepsi.

See me naked, excepting my black socks, in a drunken stupor admiring my clean, soft skin. :cool:

I trust Nature's First Law.

I distrust anything Memorex, ESPECIALLY recordable media (their audiotapes were often too tightly wound, their CD's seem to have random crappy ones, and... ugh. Just no.).

If I intend to spend a lot of money on electronics, especially sound-related, I will look at Sony first. I absolutely will not buy a cd player that isn't Sony (I haven't had one malfunction yet, compared to every other one I've owned)--this includes in pc's.

The big exception to my Sony-First electronics policy is in gaming; I will look at Nintendo first and Sony second (with Microsoft falling somewhere behind PC for me :P)-- this is because of content, not performance.

For computers, I WILL NOT buy a brand name. Such overpriced and buggy crap, especially the two Compaqs my family has had. I buy from newegg or mwave for parts. My friends and girlfriend are all really happy with cyberpowerinc for prebuilt computers.

For body care, I'll look atLush before competitors.

For shoe seller, I've been impressed with the ease, speed, and price of zappos.

The King James bible is so much cooler, crazier sounding, and angering than the other ones.

For clothing: I'm quick to remove or black out the labels from all of my clothing. I would buy from American Apparel because they care about their workers and don't resort to using poorly paid foreign workers, but I already spend a lot of money on exotic food and herbs so I usually can't budget it. I rarely buy new clothes, though, so it's not a big deal.

For music stores: AMOEBA can't be beat.

Now for mass media:

Book brands... I dunno, maybe Feral House? }:> I'm not really particular about publishers.

For lifestyle branding through magazines, I preferAdbusters.

For lifestyle branding through television, I preferPBS

For lifestyle branding through radio, I prefer KCRW.

For Internet lifestyle, Second Life. :)

For newspapers... I will not touch or smell newsprint. Icky.

I am loyal to many brands... Gain laundry detergent, Coke, Oscar Meyer lunch meat, Kraft mac & cheese, Colgate toothpase, Gillette shavers, Herbal Essence body wash and the list could go on and on and on....
