Don’t forget shoes, underwear, socks, hats, toothpaste, soap, cigarettes, alcohol, food items, etc.
My answer has got to be Parliament, but you never know how long that’ll last.

Adidas because they’re the only sneaker that accomodates my wide duck feet. I like the way they look but even if I didn’t I wouldn’t have much choice because other shoes don’t fit.
Maybe Campagnolo, because switching is really hard once the bike has been built up. King, who make the best underwear, or Nokia who always have the easiest menus on their phones.

Jif. I will buy just about anything else in its generic form, but peanut butter. I know it’s certainly not the healthiest or the most natural, but I love its smooth, creamy deliciousness.

Rockport shoes, Levis jeans, Pendleton shirts. Toyota trucks!
Makes me realize that brand loyalty is for me about durability + nostalgia. Good question, totally thought I wouldn’t have any…

As long as I can afford to buy them, Apple Computers… The last 50 pairs of socks I have bought have been Smart Wool. I have over 400,000 miles on United Airlines.
See you in 4 days !

If Joe comes here and starts talking about UK comedian Russell Brand, I am going to physically attack him.

i seem to be pretty loyal to clover organic milk products (milk, cheese, eggs, cottage cheese) and i’d like to say it is because of it being a regional dairy but i think it’s more likely that they won me over with their stellar advertising – i loved their billboards growing up, you know, like “Claude Moonet” or “Supreme Quart” or Venus de Moolo” or “it ain’t Clover til the fat lady sings” or “Clo’s encounters of the curd kind”

Phil reminded me of Nokia.
I once had to use a Motorola for a couple months. I hated it so much that I used my phone the least possible. I refused to memorize the phone programs yet I was so mad when it took forever to text.
I’m so stubborn.

I’m a complete sucker for Marc Jacobs handbags. I used to be happy with any old bag, and then I found a cute inexpensive $78 tote bag. As I purchased more they got more and more expensive, and now here I am thinking about the next bag I want, and the $800+ price tag doesn’t seem that bad.
I never wanted to be that person! I also love Diesel jeans. I swear they make my butt look better. Other than that, the rest of me looks like a total slob. I have a hoodie with holes in it that I wear everyday, and old high top vans I’ve had for years.

I like Levi’s, Nike, Adidas, J Crew, Sony, Timberland and Northface. However, the one brand that really toots my horn is “No Brand” or “Muji” in Japanese, they got everything looking good: “google that shit, holmes.”

Mizuno running shoes, Cosabella, REI, and the C9 running gear they sell at Target. Oh, and Escada for the perfume they put out every year that smells like fruit punch.
