What is one brand/company that you are loyal to?

[blurredvision]

Game System: Sony. Always

I don't think I've ever seen you actually come out and say that, but it explains a LOT.

 

[trmiv]

I can't say I'm loyal to any company. I'm always ready to shop around for quality and/or price.

Coca-Cola. If it's Pepsi - then I get Mountain Dew.

 

[PricklyPete]

I've never been loyal to any company in my 31 years. Before a certain price range I generally just by the cheapest or the one that I've had experience with that works well, tastes good, or is most convenient. After a certain price range, I do research before buying and purchase the best performing product.

GLAD, they made my year last year by buying a ton of stuff from me ( I am in sales) and I will forever use GLAD products

Oh and mobile brand motor oil.

My buddy just bought a 2010 Tacoma, and when I get out of school in a semester I'm pretty sure I'll get one too. It's a damn nice truck.

Yes sir, the Tacoma is a fantastic truck. Great price for a great ride imo, I like the Tundra myself but Tacoma gets better mpg.

kokuho rose rice- always end up buying it. not sure why. just do.

Canon cameras
Nokia cell phones (except my most recent, they've all been Nokias since '99)

That's about all I can think of. Otherwise, I'm not much of a brand whore

I wouldn't buy cars from a company that covered up it's acceleration problems that caused injuries.

Still better than the crap GM puts to market that will fall apart on you.

Right now though, I would want to buy a Ford. Just because they didn't take the bailout package. Of course now that I think about it, I've only ever had a Ford.

[LordMorpheus]

I've got a couple.

Ford cars (even after having a 1991 Sable and driving a 2001 Taurus for a while ... I've only ever had Fords. The Sable was a tank and I loved it, the Taurus was junk but I spent almost no time driving it. I currently have a 1997 Town Car that I absolutely love)
Lenovo laptops
Carhartt outerwear

My 2003 F-150 has never been in the shop for anything other than oil changes and the like. It has now exceeded my previous champ, a 1990 Subaru Legacy, for reliability.

USAA

A few local restuarants.

If it's not Heinz, it's not ketchup. Don't try to serve me any of that "Fancy" or store-brand garbage. It doesn't taste the same, and I can tell.

Trijicon does make good stuff, have had several of thier products. Just BZO'd my new ACOG for the M4 last week.

meh, I can stand off brand ketchup, it's off brand A1 that can't measure up.

There's something about A1 sauce, it just can't be replicated by anyone.

DICE :d

Oh yeah, Heinz Ketchup +1

I used to be very loyal to Sony electronics, but it's been well over ten years since I bought anything from them (other than my PS2). They just don't deliver like they used to.

Having driven Toyota for the past eleven years, I lean toward them, but I would not buy a new Toyota right now. I hate what they're doing, but I also remember that nearly any car company would do the same. That doesn't make it right, but it doesn't make them worse than others either.

I lean toward EVGA video cards, Gigabyte motherboards, Creative sound cards, and Samsung just about anything for which I don't have a prior leaning. Korean brands used to be largely garbage, but they've really stepped up in quality, and it's often hard to beat Korean PVP now. I would strongly consider a Hyundai; I think most of their lineup is gorilla ugly atm, but that goes for most car manufacturers.

I buy American when I reasonably can. I check labels. Sometimes I pay more for American made, and sometimes I'll go to a different store.

In food- Sriracha, Tabasco, El Yucateco, Mazzeti's, Kraft, Hidden Valley, KC Masterpiece (Mesquite). Some foods you just can't generic.

When it comes to hideous tentacle beasts taking over the world, I choose Wal-Mart every time.

 

[alfa147x]

CANON!

Honda, Apple, Intel, Citizen, Otterbox, EVGA video cards, Gigabyte motherboards

 

[JulesMaximus]

Okay, I thought of one brand loyalty I have: Best Foods brand Mayonnaise (Hellmans to you easterners).

Oooh, and Canon cameras and lenses.

 

[Platypus]

I honestly don't have loyalties to any company. Every product that I respect comes from a vendor that has at one point released complete and utter bullshit along the way. When I am in the market for something, I evaluate all the possible options and make the best decision I can based on that.

That said, there are companies I am weary to do business with based on previous slights, but if they make a superior product I am not stubborn enough to deny that fact and buy something inferior based on slights of the past.

get over it....every company has covered up dangerous problems

 

[secretanchitman]

bmw (cars)
asus (motherboards)
dell (monitors)
evga (video cards)
apple (laptops)
microsoft (mice and keyboards)
logitech (speakers - z5500s rock!)
seagate (hard drives)
heinz (condiments)

i would list more pc parts, but usually i flip flop between 2-3 manufacturers for them.

i used to be a sony fanatic back in the day, until their quality/products just went to hell. otherwise, for just about everything else, im fine with.
