    Products you won't buy..

    Are there products you refuse to buy because reasons?

    EG: I have issues with micro plastics, especially after reading "The world without us" by Alan Weisman. It seems plastic will be earth's (humanities) legacy sadly. So I don't buy moisturizers/face creams ect with "exfoliating micro beads" ect.


    How's about you? What won't you buy and why?

    I don't buy energy drinks because I view them as a major health risk. I also don't buy much meat unless I can be sure it's properly sourced. That means it's more expensive but the taste and texture is far better than the mass produced meat sold in most supermarkets.

    Carnation Milk/Evaporated Milk.
    Not because I don't like the taste, or what it can be used to make (Quite tasty fudge!) but just because its always that one tin at the back of someone's cupboard that's been there so long it's a bit grimy and not very pleasant to look at. Very odd one I know, but I think it's just a memory from when I was a kid. Plus the smell used to make me feel sick.

    I won't buy tampons because I'm a guy.

    I refuse to buy any product that advertises "contains no GMOs".

    Eggs that come from freely roaming hens are the only eggs I buy.

    I could write paragraphs, but I'll just start with one.

    If a product can't name itself by its name. Example: Pasteurized Process Cheese Product, because it's not allowed to be called simply Cheese. Nope.

    There's nothing I won't buy because of personal philosophies. The only thing that determines if I get something is price, quality, availability of competitor products, etc.

    Wilkinson Sword razors, them sumbitches cut my face to shreds the last time I used one so I stick with Gillette ones which rarely ever cause nicks.

    My family boycotts these products for personal reasons so we would obviously never buy them.

    Doesn't matter, you should have a box in your bathroom. Never know when your girlfriend is going to be round and disaster strikes unexpectedly. I always keep a box in and I don't get periods either but they still get used from time to time by girlfriends or whoever. It's just polite and welcoming.

    Doesn't matter. Still have female friends round from time to time.

    I keep them next to the enema kit and the cyborg apocalypse defense tools in my private nuclear shelter. Disaster striking is always something that needs to be accounted for.
    It's very welcoming.

    Stuff I don't want, stuff I want buy don't think is worth the price, and stuff I don't like on principle. Pretty much covers it
