Poll: Brand Loyalty
I know we've done this one before and I could probably google it, but it is so boring around here.
What brands are you loyal to?
-- Cottonelle - mainly because I like the puppy
-- Dawn - only because DH is adamant
I am sure there are more, but those two tend to stick out to me.
Re: Poll: Brand Loyalty
Coca-Cola- Both regular and diet varieties.
Charmin- I'm a recent convert. I used to hate it.
Dawn- cuts through butter cream icing the best.
Only Heinz Ketchup because DH insists.
I used to be loyal to Viva papertowels, Cottonelle, Tide, Dawn, etc. Then I got to be cheap.
Angel Soft
Palmolive
Kraft Mac n Cheese
Clorox
Comet
Coca Cola
Charmin
Dawn
Kool-Aid Pink Lemonade (don't try to fool me with no Flavor-ade or country time, im very loyal to the Kool-Aid man)
Cottonelle
Tide
Heinz ketchup
I prefer Coke. I'll drink Pepsi products, but I never buy them.
Oh, and tampons/pads. I don't mess around with those.
Everything else in our house is subject to coupons and sales.
I forgot about those. Luckily the brands I like always have coupons.
Coke/Diet Coke
Charmin
Qtips (vs store brand)
Crest
Method products for home cleaning, esp their wood floor cleaner
Annie's mac'n'cheese
Coke/Sunkist
Heinz ketchup
El Milagro tortilla chips
Thomas' English muffins. the generic brands suck
Dannon smoothies for F
Eggos for DH (during the factory issues I bought the Kroger brand and he wasn't pleased)
So Tasty, So Yummy
Heinz Ketchup
Dawn
Del Dixie Hamburger Pickles
Land O Lakes butter
Kraft Mayo
I'm sure there are others.
Blue Bell ice cream
Charmin TP - I bought off-brand TP once, we nearly got a divorce
Dawn - ditto for it being the best to deal with frosting
King Arthur flour
Colgate toothpaste
On the Border tortilla chips - again, nearly a divorce
pillsbury - generic cinnamon rolls suck
clorox 2

Hey Kool Aid. Hilarious.
This post is making me hungry and need to go to the bathroom.
I am not brand loyal to many consumer goods except:
Coca Cola brands. Totally
Hunts ketchup. Have always liked it even though DH was a Heinz fan. But Heinz is loaded with HFCS and Hunts doesn't have it so it's what I buy.
Was 100% Toyota until what happened with my mom's job. Now I drive a Honda, lol.
Gap or Old Navy jeans.
- Paula Deen to 104.1 KRBE's Producer Eric 9/17/2011
Cottonelle
Coca-Cola
Camarena
Charmin- DH won't allow anything else in the house
Pepsi for DH and Dr. Pepper for me
Mrs. Baird's bread
Tide
Charmin
Dove deodorant
Anything cereal related.
Everything else is fair game.
This reminded me: Secret deodorant. Big time.
Charmin
Vlasic pickles- the others are never crunchy enough and i adore their garlic ones
Heinz-per Dh
Oak View for milk for me- Dh doesn't care
Pampers diapers- we've tried pretty much all the others name brand and store brand and keep going back. we've just had too many messes with the other diapers that we didn't have with the Pampers
Dh prefers Cascade for the dishwasher
Downy for the liquid softener, though I've used Snuggle but again, a DH preference though he doesn't care what I use for the detergent or the dryer sheets.
Dawn- we pretty much agree on this one.
Carmex is the only thing Dh will use for a lip balm. I think he thinks the others are too girly, but i have to say it works really well for everyday use, not just for cold sores.
I used to be adamant about only Dodge/Chrysler vehicles. Now, you can't pay me to buy one after the last piece of crap one I had. Now we both favor Toyota.
Ozarka water- that's more me than Dh just like with the milk, i can tell a huge difference between brands.
Hershey's chocolate syrup
Bounty paper towels- that's Dh, I'm fine with Brawny,too but that's him.
Whew....I think that's it.

I buy lots of generic stuff, mainly because I'm cheap. But I'll pay more for:
Q-tips
Playtex tampons
Always pantyliners
Band-Aids. Not necessarily that brand - I'm ok with Band-Aid, Curad, or Nexcare - but never off-brands. They don't stick. And I'm clumsy so I probably use more than normal people
Toilet paper. Not any one particular certain brand but no generic sandpaper crap.
Heinz Ketchup

Simply Orange - Orange Juice
Colgate
StayFree Pads/Tampax Tampons
