Forgotten Realms and Dragon Lance novels. I would ride for hours back and forth between the train stations in Edmonton Alberta as a teen. Reading them. I could read a whole novel each day.
I prefer Subway over Quiznos. I prefer McDonald’s and A&W over Arby’s and Burger King.

Ford has a better idea.

So good to see you @bob!_

I’ll have to think about this….I’ll buy a Buick when ever possible. Other than that price drives me.
.

I’m a Jif only person. I won’t buy any other brand and it has to be creamy. No crunchy peanut butter for me.

@chyna I just discovered Jif too. I buy the individual packets of Jif to go , so that I don’t have to worry about spoilage.

I am Loyal to ITCHYBAN Cup of Noodles.

I think I pretty much stay with my preferred brands on all routine purchases, meaning grocery stores, drugstores, and gas stations. I like to stick to known solutions instead of starting over every time.

Sometimes, though, I sample someone else’s preference and end up switching over.

I’m not particularly loyal to any brand. I most often don’t even notice the brand. I just buy things based on how good they are.

Yes. For backpacks it’s Kipling for me and for laptops and cellphone it’s Apple.

I only ever buy Heinz ketchup. I use quite a bit of ketchup, so I always have enough inventory at home; if the store is out Heinz, I don’t buy any other brand. I also keep a couple of bottled in the office (or kept; been working from home since March), for when I ate at my desk (which happened often), since some places don’t send ketchup (or very little), and when they do, it’s not always Heinz. Who doesn’t love Heiz ketchup?

@Dutchess_III Howdy!

Ridden in a Ford since I was born, almost every year.

I suppose I’m loyal to Toyota, because in the last 30 years between the three of us in my family, I’ve bought 4 of them. But once my car dies my next car is likely not to be a toyota because they don’t make an EV.

As long as ingredients, performance, warranties, and price are equal I’m flexible about most stuff – cars, food, electronics, etc. Except when it comes to cosmetics & hair products.

I stick with Aubrey organics as my personal go-to for shampoo & conditioner. I test other brands for salons & advertisers, but its mostly hit and miss in terms of quality. And when some bottle of garbage whacks my hair I grab A’s Restorative Hair Mask.

Safe, effective, truly organic and easy on cost.

Jeezus, did I just do a commercial?

General Motors. I’m very fond of Pontiacs. I had two. I had a 69 Chevy pick-up for 26 years.

@JLoon

I really like Aubrey’s skin care products, but Vitacost doesn’t carry them.
Do you buy directly from them?

@Brian1946 – The great thing about Aubrey stuff is that you can find them almost everywhere: In store at Walgreens, Kroger, Walmart, Safeway. Online with Amazon, eBay, and VitaminShoppe.

Some products I am extremely brand loyal. Hellmann’s mayo, Heinz Ketchup, and Coke (when I used to drink soda regularly). Hot dogs I have three choices, but would not deviate from them, Nathans, Hebrew National, and Sabrett.

Covid has caused me to try brands that I had not tried before. It has led to some nice discoveries, but nothing I listed above have I been willing to experiment with. Some of the pleasant surprises if you are curious were Walmart bakery marble rye, Great Value TP, Jack’s frozen pizza.

Not really. Maybe Bad Dragon.

Oh sure. This is usually based on quality/reliability balanced against price. For example:

Harry’s for shave and shower stuff.

Dawn dish liquid.

Method natural cleaning products.

Scott toilet paper.

Skippy peanut butter since I was 6 or 7 years old. Lunch go to in school.

I’m pretty loyal to some brands due to quality of product. Mostly regarding fashion and beauty, like shoes, purses, sunglasses, hair products, etc…not so much other products.

Not really,I have had really good luck with Dodge trucks, but don’t have one at the moment.
Not at all with food products.

I strongly prefer watermelon LaCroix over all other flavors of sparkling water. Otherwise, nah.

Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. No other store-bought ice cream compares.

@dxs
You know, I tried that once, when I had some food delivered.
I found it to be sickeningly sweet, to an extent that made it literally inedible.

@ragingloli Yeah it’s pretty sweet, the pint can last you quite a while. What flavor did you get?

I do not remember, it was quite a while ago, but I do remember trying several types, and they all had that problem.

My last two cars, bought new, were Honda. The first lasted to over 210k miles with very few problems, none of the problems were major.

I only buy Caffeine Free Diet Coke for at home. If I’m out in a restaurant, I’ll take Diet Pepsi if they don’t have Diet Coke.

As for food, I’m pretty open to mostly any brand.

Tide laundry detergent and Dawn dishwashing liquid.

@tedibear Tide is not in the food category… right?

@bob_ – LOL! Not in my house. :)
