Product brands you're "loyal" to?

[Fedorgasm]

Ford
Coke
Old Spice
Kirkland over any other house brand
Silver jeans
Doritos

I've owned 2 Fords in my life and feel the opposite. Same thing was wrong with both. The engine was reliable but everything else was garbage. All the little things started breaking, especially anything electronic. The stereo, power windows, heater, a/c, air bag, cabin lights, and more. Will never own another Ford.

Rolex
New Balance
Benchmade
Glock
Carhartt

I have a Surface Pro 3, Surface 3, Xbox One, HP laptop and Windows Phone 10 that I still use.

I should specify that I am only talking about trucks. I believe their truck line is held to a different standard than their cars. Also, they get a lot of bonus points for not receiving bailout money.

Pretty loyal to BMW and Audi. I can't imagine driving anything else. I could be tempted with an Aston Martin or some shit like that though
I like my Adidas and Kappa

 

[chubbman]

PlayStation

I have patterns for sure. Apple, adidas, Levi’s but not so much loyalty as just what I’m used to and I like. If I saw a product from someone else i liked did buy it

Puma
Banana Republic

Clarks

Old spice deodorant - when I was 11 or 12 I got a hair cut and they gave me a small deodorant of it and I've been buying it for 26 years.

Ford Taurus - my first car when I was 19. I've put them through hell. Not taking care of them, running them into garbage cans, racing on dirt roads, cross country trips after a friend's crackhead mom put it through the ringer. The car has always been a tank even when I was dumping a liter of oil in it every month and the engine smoked like an angry bull. They got me through my worst times and I just bought a 2016 with 29 miles on it last year. I'm a buyer for life.

God of war games - from the day I played the first one 18 years ago I was hooked. Can't wait for 4/20 I'll take that day and probably the Monday off of work so I can play it until I'm insane from lack of sleep.

Everything else in this world I'm open to other brands.

AMD
Kowi (local pork products).

I can’t think of one. Brand loyalty is typically not good for consumers. Preference is one thing. If you prefer their product, then you are getting more utility from buying it than you would a substitute. But being loyal to a brand implies that you would buy their product even if you thought it was inferior to its substitutes.

Maybe Sega when I was younger. I had the SNES and the Genesis. But then I got the Sega CD, the Saturn, and the Dreamcast even though most people I knew had a PlayStation. And I loved the games on the PlayStation. But I really wanted Sega to pull through for some reason.

Probably because, while the other systems had a lot of good games, the Sega systems would once in a while have an exclusive game that was really innovative and great. And I tend to want to play those games over and over rather than want to learn how to play a bunch of newer, slightly less quality games. I don’t know if that’s loyalty or preference.

Same with BMW.

I looked into Volvo before going with another BMW.

Yeah I don't agree with blind loyalty but there are a few brands I will default to while examining other alternatives, based on a good past experience.

Toyota/Lexus (I may betray and go german soon though)
Sony
AMD (they haven't got my money in a while though)
Nintendo (back in the day)

Mostly I am pretty mercenary about most purchases though, whoever has the best product in my price range usually wins.

Coca Cola

Are there any brands that you you consistently buy for a product when you need them? Any particular reason why? For me?


Jif Peanut Butter:,Growing up we were crazy poor. Butter and jelly on Wonder Bread with an Apple was what we ate for lunch in school for years. When My parents had a few extra dollars, we had Creamy Jig instead. It's the only Peanut butter I'll eat.

i can't be completely sure, but i think that is racist
