Fun question. banter.
Mccormick alcohol, they made alcohol affordable, and no longer a commodity for the wealthy
However, I've also become an alcoholic, so it's a very mixed blessing
Valvoline… you know what I mean.

There are brands I buy because they have a history of quality - but I'm not loyal to the brand alone. I'm all too well aware that brand names by themselves don't mean anything - it's the company leadership that really matters.
Example:from the 70s through the 90s, no one could touch Sony for consumer electronics. But in the 90s, the founder died and some MBA took over and tried to complete by cutting quality and lowering prices, going for volume instead of premium. It nearly killed the company. I bought no Sony products during that time and didn't recommend any.
Around 2010, they got rid of that guy and went back to quality. Today, they make some of the best TVs on the market along with some of the best cameras. The difference wasn't the brand name, it was the leadership.
u I have had very good experience with Ford/Lincoln/Mercury cars. I am very partial to Diet Coke and not Diet Pepsi. Bosendorfer grand pianos are the best thing on the planet.
There are many brands which I buy consistently. When I was younger, I tried different brands, found the ones I most liked, and I have stayed loyal to them unless somebody comes along to suggest a new brand which might be even better. I'm not too old to learn new tricks.
Rarely, the only real situation I can think off is toothpaste. Elmex makes toothpaste that doesn't suck. Every other brand insists on putting mint in it which I am allergic to. And Elmex is the only one that both doesn't put mint in it and doesn't make it taste gross.
But I am not particularly brand loyal, I actually dislike most brands being affiliated with things I am against.
When it comes to clothing, I have in recent years changed brands left and right depending on the clothing. If it's just simple T-shirts which you wash after a use, I tend to go for cheaper brands like Zara, H&M, Uniqlo. With pants, suits and jackets... I spend more on higher end brands just because of the quality and sometimes one of kind style (at least not mass produced).
As for the higher ends brands, I rarely pay full price, because here in Sweden it feels there is sale every month and hence you can get away with a fraction of the original price.
But when it comes to phone or laptop, then Apple for sure. Love the gadgets and being part of the ecosystem.
I am by definition loyal to anyone or anything as long as they don't give me a reason not to be loyal. In this particular case, I am loyal to products for as long as they don't try to screw me by making packages smaller or reducing the content while keeping the same price or even increasing the price of said product.
It takes me a while to find the right product but once I have found it, the company has either to go out of business or, as stated, screw me and other consumers with a subtle and/or unannounced price increase.
There are two Aussie stores under the same brand called Cotton-On and Typo. One I buy all my clothes from, and the other has the most amazing merchandise. It's a 40 minute drive to my nearest Typo but I'm there so often that the employees know my name 😭
When I went to Singapore and saw those two stores I was GIDDY. Perhaps there's a bit of patriotic pride to see Aussie stores in different countries
I always bought brand name foods. I still do because I don't get disappointed, I know what it will taste like.
Generic off brand foods just don't taste the same to me.
I look like I'm loyal but it's just because I like the way it looks, sounds, tastes, smells, or feels. People tend to lean toward what's familiar because it's more comfortable.
Nike for my shoes.
Some people have shoes for weightlifting, running and casual wear. I hate having multiple pairs of shoes and have found Nike are the only ones that I can have 1 pair of shoes for almost everything and they not break on me.
I buy Carhartt clothing and I am a Dell computer fan. I drive either Ford or GM and I use DeWalt power tools.
No, if I stick with any given brand, its do to product quality, not loyalty.
If the quality drops, or a better product from another brand comes along, I'm choosing the better product.
I tend to buy budget Motorola smartphones, although my current one (moto e13) is really bad. It is very underpowered. But usually they have decent specs, great battery life, headphone jack, and pretty much stock Android.
No. Not exclusively, but I do have preferences with many things.
I always use Michelin tires and Arco gasoline. Just like them a lot.
Noop... the store branded product is often the exact same product made by the big brand names but selling under the store brand at a much lower price. There are some exceptions in which case I buy the big name brand.
Yes i am loyal to all the brands that i usually buy, tried many times cheaper products to see if it works but it didn't work!
I am loyal to GAG (GirlsAskGuys). Why? I dunno. Probably shouldn't be. Just am.
Dr. Pepper. it's the closest humanity has ever come to ambrosia. Shoot that shit into my veins!!
I wouldn’t call them freeloaders. Your dime their loss.
I hate Mormons yet love chikfila.
Nike Pegasus running shoes
Levis jeans
