How about your preferred brands?
I'm brand loyal to Branding Irons Unlimited branding irons
Xiaomi smartphones
UN security councils
I imagine you have a Stetson and enjoy listening to Garth Brooks while doing a bit of line dancing.
Fùck your brands...
Aldi own brand
It's a shame that Colgate went all shrinkflation on us. It taught me to avoid brand loyalty.
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
Diazepam - Valium
Alprazolam - Xanax
Chlordiazepoxide - Librium
Flurazepam - Dalmane
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.
What, nobody said boards.ie ?
* Mod needed in aisle 3...
Coca-Cola classic/orginal.
I tried an off brand Corn flakes once I found my masturbatory activity significantly increased.
Original taste
If that ever goes we're in trouble .
Crazy history of Kellogs
This will sort you.
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
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
And only in the glass bottles
Loyalty or tried, tested & trusted?
Tried, tested & trusted - Quiksilver, ION, Malden Salt and Apple.
Who told you that???? Local food delicacy battles are thoroughly and 100% international! From wines, confectionaries, teas and beers.
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
Barry's tea. Shots fired.
Lynx. There still isn't a decent alternative.
Brands exist all over the world, brand loyalties and brand battles exist all over the world, it's certainly not a unique Irish thing, try telling a certain cider drinker in Normandy to change brand to another one and you'll have a long education as to why one is better than the other, tell an Ozzy penguins are better than Tim Tams etc.... It goes on.
Apple tops it for the creative work I do, been using them since they came out, nothing comes near them I'm afraid, that's why they're the standard in my industry. Regarding ION, as already stated, tried - tested - trusted. Nothing beats trying something, reading about them is interesting and all that...
