51. Same here. Pepsi too.
I haven't bought a single Pepsi product since that horrific Britney Spears commercial aired 24/7 in 2002. Hell, I even go so far as to boycott the fast food chains owned by them - Taco Bell, KFC, and Long John Silvers.

13. McDonald's facsimile of food.
...mostly cuz I'm vegetarian, but even their desserts taste like sawdust. In fact, amend that to add all processed food in cardboard boxes with a list of ingredients that reads like chem lab supplies.

30. Hot Pockets was a prominent sponsor of Limpball's TV show
They're not in Canada anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me, but when I'm visiting I keep it in mind.

A friend in Oz and I exchanged care packages, and she sent me Vegemite. I asked her if she was trying to fucking kill me. That's not a fair trade with maple syrup!

Cookies shouldn't be meant to break your tooth. I'll even microwave a hard cookie for 10 seconds to turn it into a soft batch.

54. Gum
Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 09:08 AM by PeterU
Any brand, any flavor.

I don't like the look of it, I don't like the smell of it, I don't like the sound of it. Hell, any of the five senses regarding gum are all negative in my book.

When I want my breath fresh, I pop an altoid. I don't understand the concept of something you chew and chew but don't ingest. Even cows eventually swallow their grass. It defies all logic in my book.
