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?

    All bottled water - no one needs them and it’s plastic that’s here forever

    Depends on where you live. It’s a bit ignorant to say “no one needs them”. Also sometimes you have no choice, like maybe in an airport.

      Yes yes, exceptions.

      I live in one of the worst cities regarding lead in the drinking water though, thanks to old pipes, but a waterfilter solved all this.
