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?
Bayer: Used slave Labour in Nazi Germany
Infected Jews and used them for drug tests from concentration camps until they died.
Illegally pressure doctors to use their drugs off-label
Used US prisoners to extract blood products and sold them without testing infecting millions with hepatitis, HIV and AIDS all over the world. When they realised blood products were tainted, instead of destroying them they just sold them to Africa instead.
Surely a company that has done all this would be sued into oblivion, but thanks to the company being restructured multiple times it’s apparently too complicated to bring them to justice.
