Friday OT #1 - Brand Loyalty

[FarminCy]

Red Wing boots - Work and dress
Carhartt
Case IH Tractors/Combines
Ford Trucks - Went to a GMC for awhile and it just reminded me why I prefer Fords.

That's really about it. Most of my fishing stuff is a mixture of everything but I'm starting to settle in to Pflueger reels and St Croix rods. And since someone brought up Apple I am close to that as well. Made the switch to Iphone/Ipad/Apple TV just about two years ago and love the entire ecosystem.

Deere has the market cornered when it comes to customers being loyalists. Never seen a group of people willing to pay so much extra for a paint color.

Very true, it boggles my mind. Especially since they are never the industry leader bringing new things to the table yet they charge more for everything.

I grew up on a red farm so I've never been a fan of JD. But after working with them at times on the corporate level makes me hate that company even more over the years!!

Nike for sure. Even my golf game is all but strictly Nike; my bag, golf balls, ball mark repair tool, and all but my sand wedge (Titleist) and putter (Odyssey) are all Nike. Although I make exceptions with Adidas and Majestic when it comes to buying MLB and NBA stuff.

Also Canon, Apple, Playstation, Casey's pizza (exception made for Wig and Pen).

Also, I prefer Angie "likes" over the rest of you yahoos.

I would like this, but won't since you don't prefer it.

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.

Heinz has "Simply Heinz," which uses sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Hunts also has a "natural" ketchup, as you know.

You're the exception LindenCy, you're my boy.

Well, that earned another one.

Nike shoes definitely. Actually Nike everything

so you're one of those guys at work with the "athletic polo" shirts on?

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

I agree with both your posts. I won't buy Apple and avoid Wal-Mart as much as I can. I'm definitely loyal to Asics now too.

I'm getting darn close to only buy nice clothes at The Limited now too so I'd say I'm pretty loyal to them.

Oikos greek yogurt, I suppose.

Car brand loyalty is one that annoys me. I get liking a specific line for it's strong reputation, but I know a lot of people who will only buy Dodge/Chevy/Ford even if there is something with better ratings/longevity available for the same price range. That's just silly to me. Actually, I think when we bought our Nissan, we were the first on either side of the family to not buy Dodge or Chevy.

Growing up, my dad didn't like Dodge because "the government bailed them out in the 70s." Being a Chevy man, he doesn't say that anymore...

The fact that you grew up on a farm and yet you think corn syrup and sugar are really that different boggles my mind.

Samsung TV's, Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires, TeraFlex suspension, Woodhouse, Double H boots w/ ice sole, Diesel Jeans.

do you have a Samsung Smart TV? Can you get CycloneTV on it?

The inability to watch video from the Internet from ESPN3 nearly had me ready to take my Samsung TV out and go Office Space on it.

French's fried onions. Its the only food product that I refuse to eat anything else of. No generic brand even comes remotely close in comparison.

Fruit of the loom utra cotton blend. 50/50 cotton/polyester. I have tons of these shirts and they last forever. I will wear other brands but this is the best.

 

[cyrevkah]

Ankney Movie Theatre over the Ames theatre. (stadium seating is best for being short)

Diet Coke or Cherry Coke over most any other drink. I can't drink plain Pepsi at all any more.

I don't...I have Mediacom so I get the channel automatically (but the programming is pretty worthless imo). I was speaking purely from a reliability standpoint. Same tv for about 8 years now, with thousands of hours on it and notta single problem.

Strangest one is probably Nivea chapstick.
