Why I will never buy another thing of Old Spice or Duracell unless I have no choice

The image above of the Duracell batteries Old Spice and Gillette mach 3 are all together for one reason there all by P&G This is why I will not be buying any more of these any time soon I don't like their companies because i feel like they take advantage of people who wont do research if a product is better or not to a competitor like say my grand father

 

#1 I forgot to watch what i typed in the title so I apologize for the title

 

What's wrong with them? I use old spice deodorant, it works pretty good for me =)

 

He didn't say anything was "wrong" with them. He said...

 

Thats called marketing haha =P

 

This kind of mentality never ceases to amuse me.

 

It is your right to have that stance, but P&G exists because the "others" want an "easier" way out. If everyone went product / system that P&G did not push, how long do you think it would take P&G to flood the market with the products they did not previously push. So the ball is in the court of the "lazy consumer" to make different choices, however, if the "lazy consumer" is satisfied then nothing will change on that front.

 

Ok, Im lost.

I think I may have accidentally gotten cross-ways with the what must be the primary ingredient in this product since I did wash my hair in the past and it did go ... AWAY!

 

Well, we do live in a free market economy. It has its pros and cons, like anything.

 

...deleted...took a nice pill instead.

 

Thanks for the reality check Erik.

 

Okay, that's it then!
No more Max Factor Cosmetics, InfaCare or Metamucil for me!

 

Next you need to boycott Unilever for the same reason. You'll be stuck buying artisan soaps, using baking soda toothpaste and one of those hippy crystals for deoderant.

 

WHAT!?!?!? No more Metamucil! Well then you will just have to go with baking soda toothpaste and hippy crystal deodorant but somehow I don't think they would be effective substitutes.

 

I have actually thought about trying that =)

 

LOL all you're responses are ether hilarious or well intelligent I'm impressed!

 

Deleted from what and a nice pill :0

 

It means I deleted my initial, "I'm gonna school someone in the real world", knee-jerk response and remembered what grandma told me.

If you've nothing nice to say...etc. etc.

Reading your previous posts, I know that you're a teenager. I remembered that and edited my response. I had a bout of nice.
