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?

I feel the same about the washing capsules that get advertised by Mollie Mae and that Vogue Williams. As if they ever do their own fucking washing 😂

I get it...not a fan of Joules clothing at all. BUT...my wellibobs have held up quite well (have 5 pr!) and bright pink floral ones get complimented everytime. Older hunters wear great..newer made in China ones, like all brands that become trendy, are far inferior

Exactly - their products are so easy to dupe, what was once tasteful ,calming, lovely products are now duped by all ie b&m ,aldi etc .
I now find them a little boring and certainly overpriced and i'm not interested in going to their shops anymore.

You can get it cheaper second hand 🤗

Actually I didn't grasp why they moved from "white things" to clothes more generally, but I have to say the White Company clothing quality has been extremely good for the items I have had. Their linen wears and washes particularly well, and their cashmere is soft and tactile at a fraction of the eye-watering cost of other cashmere companies such as one beginning with B and ending in A.

Range rovers… horrid, oversized petrol guzzling monstrosities who could squash me too easily. Feel the same way people here seem to feel about Tesla’s (which I actually quite want but not the Musk link!)

I have an irrational dislike of Tesco after once having a run in with an extremely rude member of staff. It was over 10 years ago but I’m not willing to let it go.

It's not for this foreigner, reminds me of Galaxy, aka slime.

Disney! So fake and it's everywhere as though linking with it makes other brands more desirable. I just have an irrational dislike of it and all the hype that surrounds it. A Disney holiday seems to be on so many bucket lists but it just looks like the most commercial, bland, over-priced plastic resort.

I also agree with others on the so called 'designer brands' dull, ugly and cheap looking!

Hate Tena. They were show semi nudes women (just pants), women with fake red menstrual blood, close-ups of crotches, school girls sitting on the toilet with their knickers around their ankles (no joke). They like to use shock tactics to get noticed, is my theory. So I hate them. But I don’t think I’m being unreasonable.

I had a similar experience in a Jo Malone outlet in a store, though admittedly I wasn't looking like I could afford it as it was raining and windy!

Detest the cult of Apple.
Dyson. May make good product, but way overpriced.
Any brand that slaps their logo all over so you look like a walking billboard.

The local Morrisons is the most unpleasant store I ever set foot in. Once only and by mistake. Asda is not quite as bad, but makes me uncomfortable.

I quite like the Saltworks perfumes and the fact that you can get sample sizes. Unsubscribe from their mailing list though.

Nissan as a brand, because the local Nissan garage is abysmal.

Any charity, especially at this time of year, who sends unsolicited requests for money, or raffle tickets to sell. Particularly if I donate to them anyway.

Lindor is definitely slimy and nasty. I liked Beech’s chocolates.

Are these the ones who do the adverts for "bulky pee pants"? If so I hate them too.

Ah, I didn’t know that. The name always strikes me as so odd - I just can’t imagine a brand trying to decide what collection of words or image would entice women to buy clothes and accessories and deciding the best option available was …. “Fat Face”!

I call these Postman Pat cars. 😁

Superdry. No explanation needed.
Please explain.
I love my Supdry zip hoody and ive a couple t shirts that are good.

Thought of another! Any washing/cleaning product advertised by an 'influencer' or the ones that they are supposed to have had a hand in 'creating'. Yeah right 🙄

Snag tights; see also Molke bras that look like they are made out of an old pair of Snag tights.

My local Morrisons used to have the fish counter just inside the door so always associate the brand as smelling of fish.

No 7 at Boots - I don't really know why, just seem really boring and old-fashioned to me!

I like Apple!
I like SuperDri
I like Radely - great quality handbags, and some lovely designs that do not include a little dog 🐶 woof.
I like Elon Musk
I (quite) like Fatface though I think they have lost their way a little bit.

Dyson, for ripping people off to the tune of £400 just to dry their hair. A triumph of marketing.

Supermarkets do seem to tailor their shelves to their area, they have row upon row of jars of beetroot in East Anglia but at one time only Morrisons had picked red cabbage, a Yorkshire essential with a pie or a pasty. Since they were taken over I don't like Morrisons and it's gone ridiculously expensive.
Parkin is one of the easiest cakes to make, mainly melted stuff!

White Fox. I just think it looks like over priced, cheap crap and I feel like I could come up with a catchy name and get some hoodies printed then sell them off in the same manor.

Lol, is literally one of the three brands of chocolate I only like. At least I'm kind of posh with something. You have made my day.
