Are there any companies you avoid?

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.
