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'll have to edit and add to this as I remember since I didn't write a list beforehand

Edit:
Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Nike, Kelloggs,

Aww shit, what's wrong with Kellogg? I'm already avoiding the rest, but I've somehow missed whatever horrible shit they are up to.
