What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don’t keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don’t make it there anyway. So I’m asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.
On the flip side, what’s the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

I don’t buy Anheuser Busch products including smaller breweries they’ve swallowed up. I was a Devils Backbone fan until they sold to InBev.
Blizzard
They fucked me over for not adhering to their real name policy on their account, and locked me out of games that I had owned until I would send a copy of my passport to them. Not for age verification, not for suspected cheating, but for making sure my name is my real name. Just because that’s their policy
Fuck you, you don’t need my real life ID for playing a goddamn game.
I vowed never to give any money to them ever again, and kept that promise. That’s around 10 years ago now. Such a shame, they (used to) make the best games. I love well produced, high polished takes on an existing concept.
Nestle to start
I’ll have to edit and add to this as I remember since I didn’t write a list beforehand
Edit:
Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Nike, Kelloggs,Aww shit, what’s wrong with Kellogg? I’m already avoiding the rest, but I’ve somehow missed whatever horrible shit they are up to.
Uline starting today. Just learned the Uihlein family is a major Trump donor.
That will be difficult for me, but certainly worth it. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know.
