For most things, I’m pretty flexible.  I find what I like best, and I tend to roam around.  I have a few preferences, but they’re based on product performance or my taste at the moment rather than loyalty to any brand.  So I’ll start with what I use currently, then I’ll finish with brands I’m picky about.

For toothpaste, I currently use Aquafresh Extreme Clean Freshening Action.  It’s a solid clean!  My gum of choice is generally the dark blue Extra (sugar-free).  I use Old Spice deodorant and aftershave (sometimes alternating with Aqua Velva).  I like the plain yellow Bic disposable razors.  I get haircuts at Sport Clips; they do a better job on average, and my one experience with an old-time barbershop here in Knoxville didn’t go well.  I like the new white Mt. Dew.  I lean more toward Mercedes than BMW these days, but if I had to choose, I might just get a Porsche.  The Challenger is hotter than the Mustang or the Camaro.  I buy Levis because I know how they fit and have my size memorized.  I generally use Logitech peripherals, but I really love the old Keytronic keyboards.  I buy OEM spark plugs; whatever was in the engine when it left the factory is fine.

I’ve said many a time that I will weep if ever Pace Picante Sauce is discontinued.  I use it on a wide variety of foods.  It’s a real staple.  I generally dislike other flavors of store-bought salsa.  I make sure we have TWO back-up bottles so we never run out.

On a food-related note, I like Triscuits.  The generic version will not do.

I love Camelbak.  I’ve got four of their packs, for different occasions.  I have two bottles, one for the gym and one for work.  All the kids have their own bottle, because they are relatively spill-proof.  I got my first Camelbak right after I got home from my mission.  It was such a life-changer for hikes and biking that I never looked back.

I’m pretty loyal to DishNetwork for my TV.  Lots of people say I’m silly, but I’ve had everyone else, and the darn system just works well.  It’s not the brand so much as everything else is worse, I guess.

I always have some faLAAAMING Cheetos.

I really like Panasonic Lumix cameras, but my next one will probably be a Sony (it’s waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, freezeproof!)

Other than that, I can’t think of anything.  Any of the above will change when something more awesome comes out.
