What's your list of banned brands? (lemmy.ca)

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?

I don't want to ask this, excuse I like my yoghurt, but can you tell me more about the Muller-AfD link?

The owner of the company is regularly meeting with Alice Weidel (one of the lead members) and says openly that he is interested in her party’s political views.

Well, I can live without yoghurt

You can still buy it from other companies though. Gotta pick the least bad ones.
