Brands you (unreasonably) dislike?

[whatadaytoday]

I was thinking about this tonight as I parked next to a Renault SUV. It’s completely unreasonable but I’ve never liked the brand since someone I know once said ‘it’s like driving a bin on wheels’. Even though I’m sure the brand is perfectly fine (and very popular) it’s stuck in my head. Apologies to all Renault drivers!

I’ve got other brands I unreasonably dislike too but do you have any?

Haribo, tasteless, hard, vile things, even my kids don’t like them.

nothing wrong with a Skoda in my teens I’d rather have walked than get a lift in a Skoda , now I own one and love it!

Dyson air wrap thing, just a ridiculous price for a hairdryer

The North Face, can’t explain why though

UGGS, awful, ugly and overpriced (but sadly both my kids have them)

I think that goes for almost all sausages although my dog likes them

Walking into a Lush shop sets off my asthma. The scents are just too overpowering.

@JustMeAndTheFish I’m equally shallow

The North Face, can’t explain why though
TNF is worn by the black ski mask, black hoody, black trackie wearing ' youths' that terrorise parts of our and other towns on their bikes.

However I have loads of TNF technical gear, mostly from my previous outdoor job that is still going strong and showing g no signs of wearing out. I have a pair of TNF 'hedgehogs trail shoes that are the best ever and I'll certainly be getting another pair.

It's so embarrassing when people want everyone to come look at their cars like that.
A few weeks ago some pulled up in some tiny sports car, can't remember the brand, and parked directly outside our house. He went into my neighbours and came out about half an hour later with both of them and started showing them every detail.
From across my lawn, through my living room window, to where I was sat on my sofa, I could see how fake and fixed their smiles were. They were obviously just being polite. I have no idea how he couldn't tell. Maybe he didn't care as long as he could show off 🙄

So the tent actually is on the car??

Like, you sleep up there... On your car??

WWHHYY??!!!

I thought they were just storage things, like roof racks!!

Had one for 10 years, put 80K miles on it, not had any problems with it. Can get 70mpg at 70 mph on a motorway if you go easy with it.

Its just a VW with a different body on it.

Yes I fully understand there is nothing wrong with them and that they are a good car, but the BRAND in the 80s was really naff and my brain just won’t allow me to think of anything but that.

You’re definitely right but after having one I soooo changed my mind. When the time came to replace it I was looking at BMWs, Mercedes, Audis (all the same switchgear as Skoda btw) but after a few test drives none felt nearly as good as the ancient Skoda I already owned. So I ended up getting another Skoda. Honestly everyone who has them loves them. I appreciate the history and choose to flaunt my Skodas in a proudly ironic way. It can make you feel a bit smug, to be honest, knowing you’ve discovered something so great that some are still too blind to see 😂 - at least it would if I were a complete wanker. It was like a holy conversion. I was St Paul and Skoda Damascus…

Richmond sausages, the shelves are cleared when these are on offer at the two supermarkets I visit. They are the most vile sausage ever. Plus got the minimum amount of pork to be classed as a pork sausage. That is 42%. Anything less its called a meat tubular.

I also believe the 42% meat is bits that other sausage manufacturers don't use. Eyelids, anus etc.

My late friend's DM said she is a sausage fan, but only ate Richmond. She was not a sausage fan according to my friend and myself.

They have good, comfortable room in the back if you have passengers with mobility issues. Otherwise, yeah they don't look great. But, very comfortable inside and once you are in it, you can't see it!

@HonestGoldAnt I am with you on Octopus! I am a customer and all I can say is that they are better than Npower, which is a bar so low it's subterranean.
I hate the ads with customers praising them to the skies! Safe to say they would never use any of my phone conversations in their ads!

Yes totally agree, the most insulting ad going, bloody awful...

It’s a “no” from me

I made the mistake of buying Richmond sausages the grease that came out of them in the af basket was yuk.
Greasy ,tasteless,never again.🤮

Richmond sausages are some of the most awful unhealthy sausages you can buy. Full of fillers and only about 30% actual meat. My MIL used to buy them and I always hated them.

I've never bought them at all.

My mum is very fond of perfume and I genuinely get more headaches when I am in her presence or house! I don't use it at all anymore, it seems to get into my sinuses and set off a headache.

I was reading a book recently called Nazi Billionaires and Dr Oetker was VERY dodgy, using slave labour and the like, not just general putting up with the regime.

Lush. But u don’t thimks it’s unreasonable tbh.

Yeah I think people actually sleep up there? Honestly I couldn’t tell you because I H A T E camping, in a car tent or in a floor tent 😂

YES Radley and Lacoste

How is it allowed to pump glitter (= microplastics) into the water supply?

Soak & Sleep. To me the “soak” part sounds like sweating in bed, not bathtime.

I was the same until I bought a pair of their Livvy trousers on Vinted. Easily the most comfortable and flattering slacks I’ve ever worn. Perfect for work and leisure. Every time I see a Hollister now I pop in to see if any are on sale.
