brand names I really, really like
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 04:06 PM by RPM
Like:
Sunkist - sun is good, kisses are good
Eat'n'Park - good nonsensical local brand name outsiders don't get.
Foodland - gotta love a land of food.

Dislike:
Uncle Ben - how does this racist shit continue
Anut Jemima - see above
Firestone - why would i want tires that have anything to do with fire

2. Ohhh, you must live in the PGH area. I used to and know all of them!
I loved the strawberry pies at Eat-n-Park and some Foodlands were GREAT, although some were left go way too long and were just dirty and dingy.

7. Shouldn't it be "Park 'n Eat"? Or is that an Interstate rest stop?

9. I like Dr Pepper, because
it tastes good and I can chug it, plus it makes me hyper. I also like Charvel/Charvette/Jackson guitars, Mesa/Boogie amps, and 5150 guitar strings, which are no longer made as 5150 strings in a pack, so I have to buy them in custom gauges and metal types and make a set of 5150 strings. Ernie Ball, themselves, emailed me the product numbers to make up a set. What a pain in the ass that is, but it's worth it if I just buy them in bulk. I have to buy 6 of the same gauge then 6 of the next same gauge, and so on. I take one of each and string the guitars up and play until my heart is content. I miss being in a band sometimes. I need effects now, if I am ever going to record some of this weird music I wrote.

Okay, I know I shouldn't go on and on about guitars whilst not in a music related forum or something, but I was naming brand names I like.

Brand names I don't like:
Right off the top of my head, I agree with the OP about the racist ones. Other than that, I can't think of any. Maybe if this thread is still open when I do think of them, I'll edit this post later to add them.
