Brand Loyalty

[Vodstok]

Everyone has certain brands they swear by, either becuase they grew up with it, enjoy it, or just all around think it's the best. This is pthe place to pimp your favorites. you may even turn some people on to something they never would have thought of trying.

here are some big ones for me:

Hot Sauce:
Frank's Red Hot


Beer:
Corona



Cooking tools:
Lodge Cast Iron and Calphalon




Lodge is the original US cast iron skillet manufacturer, and just like Levi's, the first is the best. I have 3 skillets, a grilled cheese pan and a melting pot, all cast iron, all purchased before they began pre-seasoning them (which takes all of the fun out of owning cast iron). I use my 12" skillet (also my first) almost every day.

Calphalon comprises the rest of my cooking tools. my pots and pans are all calphalon stainless, as is my knife set. they are the best knives i have ever owned. I used to have 2 zwilling knives, nice german steel. neither could hold an edge as well as my calphalons, and i even snapped the tip off my 10" chef's knife zwilling. The calphalon ones hold an edge amazingly well, and are indestructable.

your turns :)

I was working a contract up in Manchester NH that ended back in October. My boss took me and the other guys out to lunch to say good bye on my last day, and the place he took us had been serving arrogant bastard for about a month.

I was brave and had 2 :) (20 oz :D)

Its pretty mild for a high ABV beer.....I think so anyway.

for me ..

i also like the Franks Red Hot products

i've had great luck with Sony electronics,
Infinity speakers
anchor bay DVDs
converse sneakers

[neverending]

Converse- I used to wear nothing but. Now since they've outsourced everything to Mexico they are very cheaply made- they rip much faster and there's less padding in the soles.

[fortunato]

barq's root beer.

faithful drinker for 15+ years.

For me it's name brand cereal like Post, General Mills, or Kellogg's .
I hate off brand cereal. It tastes so gnarly and cheap. :mad:
