Absolutely zero brand loyalty, I will always look for the best product at the price range. Besides the quality of the company / products usually degrades over time because they start relying on the "loyalty".

I am surprised that no one has said Apple yet. Maybe it's not even brand loyalty at this point. Maybe it's brainwash?

Cocoa Pebbles & Lucky Charms Cereal - the off-brands do NOT taste the same.

I have very little brand loyalty. I'll try about anything, and don't really care who makes it.

I do have general preferences. In my experience, Ford's are more dependable and can take a higher amount of abuse on the farm than Chevy's or Dodge's. I think Toyota makes the most reliable cars on the market.

I guess it just kind of exists with vehicles, but I'm not passionate about it and have owned vehicles from all major American manufacturers because I could get them cheap.

Macomb, MI
Nike (except for one pair of Adidas Sambas that I wear casually)
Dr Martens work boots (I don't know why I went with anything else this past decade, and I'll never buy anything else again)
Charmin/Bounty
Crest
Axe Phoenix shower gel and deodorant (my wife likes me smelling like a DB)
BVD/Fruit of the Loom (I think FotL discontinued the BVD line - but the underwear is exactly the same)

I used to buy Shell gasoline near exclusively, but Meijer mPerks and the ability to pay at the pump with ApplePay was way too appealing.

Growing up on the farm, we were a Chevy/GMC and Case IH family. No green crap. My dad almost lost it when I bought a Honda Civic, but he never disowned me. He grew to accept that car. I still wish I had it actually.

Wow, a lot of Charmin lovers here. I'm a Quilted Northern guy. Does Charmin still come with all of that TP dust?

Does Heinz have a ketchup without high fructose corn syrup? If so, I'll buy that, but for now it's Hunt's. I don't need any more of that in my diet.

Carhartt work apparel.

Generally I shop at hy vee and I'll get about any hy vee brand except for the aforementioned heintz ketchup and french's mustard. You only make that mistake once it appears.

Now the Case over Deere makes sense

Everyone saying Nike helped me realize another: I will always buy Asics running shoes. I had used Nike's forever until my knees got in pretty rough shape, got shin splints, and went to PT. My physical therapist told me to trash my Nike's and find something else. Ended up doing a pretty good amount of research and tried Saucony for one round of shoes after that, but then tried Asics and have never looked back. Think I'm on my 5th pair of Asics now

Coke over anything else. Doritos/Lays/Ruffles over Old Dutch, etc. Marlboro over generic. Aveda products over Suave/Head and Shoulders, etc. Jack's, Tombstone over anything else really. Gun Oil over KY, Trojan, etc.
