It's a shame that Colgate went all shrinkflation on us. It taught me to avoid brand loyalty.

Norrie Rugger Head

Brand loyalty is as ridiculous as your employer expecting you to be "loyal" to them.

They are both in it to make money from you and will screw you over for that goal

So loyal to the brand that 2 of them are misspelt.

Kellogg's corn flakes. Any other sort just don't taste right like the cheap flakes they put out in a hotel for their complimentary breakfast.

That's the only one, I'm not that particular but it'll come down to price so own brand anything for most part.

The Body Shop used to be ethical. It got sold to L'Oreal back in 2006.

A couple of weeks ago it was bought by Aurelius, a German private equity firm.

They didn't make as much at Christmas as they'd like so now it's goodbye to 50% of the shops and 40% of head office.

Private equity likes high short term returns. Lots of businesses can produce them by being traded on their brand name until they've been asset stripped.

HP printers have gone from being workhorses to having the mechanism that blocks you using third party cartridges being an security risk as it's an entry point for malware.

A Bentley is a Volkswagen-Audi made in the old Rolls Royce factories. A Rolls Royce is a BMW made in England.

PYREX is proper heat resistant glass. Pyrex is ordinary soda glass as in jam jars.

Why do we, crucify ourselves, every day?

Why anyone would choose Budweiser is beyond me. Terrible beer for a premium. Funny how much damage their loyal customers did to them.

I’m not loyal to any brands.

just there are brands that I like / prefer…

what I want from a brand is quality and value for money.

I spent about 450 euros on a Junk De Luxe winter coat about 12 years ago…. I wouldn’t hesitate to spend money on any of their stuff because the coat is so well made, incredibly warm, it’s a great fit, will last a lifetime… bought T-shirts, jumpers and underwear and never an issue, good value to ok value. But always incredibly well made, great fit and stylish but not garish or ostentatious and bonus minimal to zero visible branding which these days is great and rare where lots of even premium brands want you waking around looking like a human advertisement.

Company's spend billions on advertising as they know most people buy a brand they know eg the,ll pay extra for a brand eg Colgate toothpaste. Versus low cost brand x toothpaste and retailers order and stock brand names as customers expect certain brands to be in stock obviously if you are on a budget it's cheaper to buy Tesco or Aldi generic grocery's

I don't know why an Irish person buys a Budweiser beer when there's plenty of good beer available that's not American in any Irish supermarket

Ray Palmer

In Ireland has traditionally been very brand loyal and noticeably so by international companies. Of all the Blockbusters location Ireland was the only country to go by a different name

Debates about the likes of King versus Tayto, Murphy's Versus Guinness, Barry's versus Lyon's etc... are not common in other countries

I buy Budweiser beer because I like it. Simples.

Food types yes but not brands. Living in other countries told me that. I certainly wouldn't put Apple on that list given I was around when they started and how many failures and faulty products they have brought to the market. ION originally were very cheap poor quality

the answer to murphy's v guinness should always be....Beamish

nike soccer boots and gym shoes are about the only things id go out of my way to buy in terms of a specific brand, otherwise its always what i find to be the best value rather than a specific 'name' - have never owned an apple product for example

Lynx. There still isn't a decent alternative.

I’m very brand loyal. Bose headphones, Ted Baker clothes, Creed aftershave, San Marzano tomatoes, Gubeen cheese and chorizo etc. Don’t like to skimp on cheap knockoffs.
