You mean product loyalty going by all you have listed

Ubbquittious

Brands can be traded like horses so there is no point in being loyal to any particular one.

None, I consider it stupid to be loyal to any brand as all brands change over time and better/cheaper alternatives always appear

I was going to slag you off for being a corporate brainless sheep (Timberland? Gilette? Iphone...? The must love you in shopping malls) but then I spotte the Clonakilty.

There is still hope.

Some of the brand names are beyond redemption and have being seeing what they can get away with for years.

Looking at you Birds Eye.

Mantis Toboggan

I'm completely brand disloyal. Don't care for logos or brands if I like something I buy it. In this day and age loyalty to any company/brand is a fools game.

Harry Palmr

NO LOGO!

I only swear loyality to whatever the Lidl brands are.

My mother was a slave to brands - esp the obvious better than average ones. Mind you back then the low brow names were often trash quality which is not the case now, so looking beyond the names which are advertised relentlessly is easier.

Yes, let's be loyal to the companies that make things we buy for serious cash at a fraction of the price it costs to manufacture while committing to the barest of safety standards so they can spend most of their income on advertising and marketing to convince us in duplicitous ways that we need their product.

Head n’ shoulders.

Tesco own brand anti dandruff shampoo ain’t worth a cuss.

Donnielighto

If I like product I like it, more likely to try stuff from that producer but if the quality goes down I go away.


Chef is waaaaaaaay better than Heinz tomato ketchup btw

Noveight

Bic pens.
Tommy Hilfiger jeans.


Would’ve been rather loyal to Toyota cars until recently enough. Would consider buying almost anything that’s not French nowadays.

Heinz Ketchup - nope I prefer Hans Catsup

Colemans Mustard - on a sandwich yes but on a hotdog, no chance, bloody vile!

Timberland Jeans - no chance, too expensive

Colgate toothpaste - meh

Clonakilty Black Pudding - n/a, you shouldn't be eating that crap, white pudding all the way

Gillette Mach 3 - hahaha god no, never again after Gillette told all white men (their main customers) to go fúck themselves back in January. Wilkinson Sword all the way baby

iPhone - nope, not a patch on samsung

Sennhiser headphones - ?

BMW 5 series - piles of dirt, Japanese all the way

Pennys black socks - 100%, easily the best product on this list, I wear nothing else.....literally ;-)

Budweiser - right you've just ruined your list, Carlsberg, Guinness, Heineken etc etc all far superior, go think about what you've done.

Not entirely sure you can slate someone for drinking bud and then claim suepriority by listing Calrsberg and Heineken. You can join him in the corner and think about what you've both done.

They can be found in all good Aldi stores. Their Jaffas are the closest thing the McVities. I havent had either in a while. I'll have to have a final showdown soon.

Only if I can bring a slab of Carlsberg, at least then I'd probably be sitting in the best corner in the world :-)

This year a French brand came out as the most reliable.

Could just be a glich in the system, and Toyota/Honda will return to the top.

Guess it shows brands can climb up as well as slide down

e.g. Jillette can slide off after their feminaz ad agency tried to misrepresent white males in a very unfair manner.

Lidl has perhaps the best 'value to quality' ratio, but would boycott their specific own brand range of Greek-style foods, which acts much like the IS' folks, in attempting to airbrush out 2k years of history...

€8bn writedown for Gillette there recently, the cost of letting far left feminists make an ad for mens razors. Hopefully their slide continues :-)

Apple, absolutely superb products I have pretty much one of everything (MacBook, iMac, Apple Watch, latest iPhone (and a few older ones), iPad and Apple TV).

VAG group cars: excellent cars. Have two and currently couldn’t see any other brand featuring in my considerations anytime soon.

Dubarry deck shows: I just go in and buy the same ones everytime I wear out a pair don’t even try them on anymore.

Guinness.

I have preference then for many other products like RL or Hilfiger shirts, Gant, RL and Abercrombie polo shirts etc but not really exclusive to one product.

Spoken like a true brand follower, the deference to VAG underscores the Irish dimension to what a brand devotee is

The one true product that I will not accept any alternative to is Buckfast Tonic Wine.

Other great brands that I've stuck by are:
Catlike Bicycle Helmets
PlayStation

Are you one of those that has a Buckfast sticker across their rear window?

Definitely not, car sits standard as she came out of the factory since I spend my disposable income on the wine itself.

'Lowered to the tits but she handles like your sister' is my favourite back window sticker for future reference if that's your thing.

Haven't tried safety razor, I switched to Wilkinson Sword, they're better and cheaper than Gillette, so I never need to go back.

But the gas thing is I would never have even bothered looking for another brand until Gillette's marketing team dropped surely one of the biggest clangers in marketing history last January.

It was hilarious, I mean who greenlit that leftist propoganda. Who sat down and thought, 'I know, I'll portray my target market as completely vile pieces of shít, lecture to them (because people really love that), then ask them to buy our razors, what could possibly go wrong' :-)

Once you see a clothing brand being sold In sports direct you know the Quality will be gone to ****...
I got a French connection hoody a few months back and it’s like a rag already.
Not sure if they just sell seconds or factory rejects but it’s not good quality, and yes I shouldn’t have expected anything else for 12 quid.

Sports Direct are still selling the same Slazenger, Karrimor and Gelert products they acquired from the JJB closure 8 years ago from the same old warehouse. In saying that some Karrimor and most Gelert stuff is great value.

Virgin Media. Pure sh1te,. just after driving up North and it wouldn't work up there.

Had similar trouble with Virgin Media in the UK and Spain.

But if you really want to get my heckles up EIR. So bad I'd happily do without a mobile than go with that crowd.

At least when I was with Vodafone, I didn't have to put up with having no phone every time I went abroad.
