Are there any companies you avoid?

We still have one in my local area so I'm sure one is hiding around you somewhere. Check the old dying strip malls....that's where they like to hide them at.

I don't really avoid places unless they get me really mad. Right now I'm avoiding Wendy's because they served me undercooked chicken. I swear I was so close to driving back that night and raising all sorts of hell! They are lucky my parents forced me to take anger management when I was a kid.

Recording companies that put rootkits or licensed (download license to play) material on CD.

Boycotted.

I try to avoid fast food places. The prices are good; The anticipation is good; the food tastes good; the after-feeling not so good.

Any clothing brand that is not Ralph Lauren/Polo (with the exception of shoes and underwear ).

I boycotted
Pepsi - When I was in the Persian Gulf I saw a case of Pepsi cans that were bad - (the stench and pouring it out was like pouring maple syrup - they got too hot). The Cokes didn't mutate.

McDonalds (actually my whole family boycotted this one). We got tired of the food tearing our stomaches up.

Wal-Mart (just 80% of the items they sell). I refuse to purchase any clothing from there (the last two clothing items I purchased there lasted two weeks before each ripping in half). I shopped elsewhere for a very similar item (that looked nearly identical) and they lasted me 16 months each before I modified them - and I still have them.

I'm drinking a can of it right now. As I kid I figured out it was the best soda for burping contests and I've drank it ever since. I prefer pepsi though...just drink it too fast and have to switch to DP when I run out.

You wanna talk about bad can drinks? A friend and I used to watch dogs piss on can drinks all the time! A lot of stores keep can drinks outside when they first come in...apparently dogs like them just as much as car tires and trees. ><

Do you just avoid their software or do you boycott their hardware as well? I think you know who I'm talking about...

[Freesteyelz]

I like iTunes.

Well, if we are thinking about the same company, I have yet to buy any of their hardware lately, though that's not to say it's because I'm boycotting them.

Mostly just music.

I've seen that happen as well, not just canned drinks either, pretty much anything dogs came up to - to "mark." I saw this in Memphis growing up.
