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?

McDonald's.

I'm not much into fast food but if I'm craving a burger and chips I'll get it from a pub.

It's cheaper too, over here at least. I need to pay 18 euros to get what I want, and it isn't uncommon to be treated disrespectfully.

Whereas a really good fish and chips is like 11 euros here and you can have a fun little chat with the owner or whatever.

It used to be cheaper. Nowadays you'll spend the same amount of money at McDonald's as the pub.
