Loyalty to brands.

I am loyal to quality

i concur. my loyalty also depends HIGHLY on how much the company values my business. if a company makes like they don't need my business, i will not buy. hell, i have passed on buying from reputable companies things i need simply because their website was a piece of shit.

one company that really stood out to me was Oakley. I once received a pair of Oakleys as a GIFT (no receipt,) and i broke the frame later on.

i phoned the company, and they agreed to place the lenses in a new frame for $20. well i mailed it out, and i received it back in 2 short weeks with a letter attached, stating that they did not make that style of frame any more and could not put my lenses in it.

included was a BRAND NEW (frame AND lenses) pair of fucking awesome shades in the same colour scheme!

then there is shit i like for no fucking reason. like coca cola. i won't drink it, but i'll buy it for it's 50 million other uses and buy coca cola paraphernalia 'just because.' maybe it's the commercials... they do have some awesome commercials lately.

then there is Honda. good old Honda. though they do a lot of outsourcing as i've discovered recently, the design of their products is of superior quality to most and have proven time and again that they can handle more abuse than was once physically possible because the design is so innovative and precise that component stress is a lot less than the equivalents from other manufacturers.
 
Will never buy Apple computers. Such a wanky brand and could not stand the incompatibility with so much software.

Emotionally attached to: Mini Cooper Clubmans, Gatorade, Hoegaarden and Hungry Jacks' Whopper.
 
Im only super loyal to the Nokia brand.....all my cellphones have been Nokia (and I've gone through a dozen). I just cant get myself to buy any other kind of phone, no matter how hot or trendy it is :p (as long as my stuff is working fine, I never replace em!)

As for toiletries and beauty products, I like many different kinds of brands (several variants of toothpaste, shampoo, cologne, etc.) and I just switch it around whenever I get bored with whatever Im using ATM.

As for cars, I'm partial to Toyota (I've had Nissans/Mitsubishis/Hondas before and the Toyota is the fuckin most RELIABLE and best compared to those) soooo I think Ill be a die hard Toyota vehicle owner forever. (Like I said, when something works incredibly well for me, I dont look anywhere else.)

As for clothes and shoes, absolutely anything goes....no loyalty whatsoever. lulz.
 
I am white and when I used to smoke I smoked tons of newports and so did both my black and white friends ... never understood why it got that image


anyways I'm pretty brand loyal to clothes... I've pretty much only bought LRG for the past 3 or 4 years... part of it is adding on to my collection.. oh yeah and nike shoes as well

do you like the disco biscuits?
 
thats so funny because im 100% loyal to clinique make-up. i will not put anything else on my face but clinique. with one exception and thats the burts bees beeswax lipbalm.other than that i wont budge at all. my girlfriend is all into mac and sephora shes always wanting me to try something new. ive never used those brands in my life but i already dont like them, and i think they are really shitty.i know thats bad but i cant help it.
 
I only ever experienced brand loyalty as a smoker. Lucky Strikes ftw. Those days are over though.

I point-blank refuse to wear branded clothing.

If I'm going to walk around with a big Nike tick, or whatever, on a shirt I would expect them to pay me for the free advertising.

Lol, quite.
