Which brands do you love/hate

    In a similar vein to the trusted brand thread, which brands do you like and dislike, and why?

    For me, I really like Nokia, Nike, Adidas and Sony. Though I wouldn't exaclty "trust" Sony, considering I've had 3 PS3s break.

    As for dislikes; the standard Apple and I never used to like Vodafone( I think I subconsciously associates them with Man Utd as they sponsored them), don't like 123.ie and Hello.ie mainly because of their ads.

    So how about all of you?

    In fairness, its shorter then putting "Im a knobhead" across a t-shirt and it still gets the message across.

    I'd have more respect for someone with "I'm a knobhead" across their t-shirt :)

    There's no law of nature that states that development needs government granted, privileged, corporations.

    I both love and hate Guinness. I love it because it's a piece of marketing genius. I hate it because it's only an average stout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,576 ✭✭✭pajor


    They say you're far more likely to tell someone about a good experience than a bad one.

    What springs to my mind is Meteor.

    You put the fada in. That means you lurv them...

    I don't really hate any brands as if I start to dislike one I'll just stop using/buying that brand. Therefore it never grows to all out hatred.

    I do love my Adidas runners though.

    I'm well aware of that, it just amazes me so many people fall for it.
