I found an interesting survey presented by Reader's Digest Canada. 1500 Canadians were ask "For each of the products listed, please identify which brand you trust the most." While some products referred exclusively to Canada (i.e. Airline = Westjet and Bank = TD Canada Trust) some of the others were most interesting. So why don't you give the question a try on the following products and post your choices in the comment section (if I get enough responses I will list the Cottle most trusted brands) and then I will post the most trusted Brands, according to us Canucks, in a couple of days. Remember - the key word here is not price or value but Trust!
1. Batteries
2. Camera
3. Chocolate Bar
4. Credit Card
5. Deodorant
6. Home Entertainment Equipment
7. Household Cleaner
8. Passenger Car Manufacturer
9. Personal computer
10. Pick-up Truck Manufacturer
11. Razors
12. Running Shoes
13. Shampoo
14. SUV Manufacturer

You know I find the phrasing trust, kinda interesting. I've never thought of "trusting" my batteries or shampoo. Anyway I figure the name that comes to mind first, is the one I trust because that's what I use. So that being said here's my list
1. Duracell
2. Canon
3. Snikers (mars products)
4. Mastercard
5. Secret
6. Toshiba
7. Mr. Clean
8. Toyota
9. Mac
10. Dodge (I really don't have much experience with this, that's just seems to make tough trucks)
11. Bic
12. Nike
13. Ok this is really whatever is on sale, guess I really don't trust my shampoo
14. again not in the market, so no idea

Hmmmmm. This is interesting. I am finding I don't really trust much of anything as I try to answer these questions. But I will do my best to actually come up with something.

1. Batteries I don't know, but Duracell came to mind first
2. Camera Canon
3. Chocolate Bar Symphony
4. Credit Card Visa
5. Deodorant um, well, I don't wear deodorant, I use alcohol so... I guess I trust Old Spice for Craig & Sam!
6. Home Entertainment Equipment Used to be Kenwood. Now I haven't got a clue
7. Household Cleaner Clorox
8. Passenger Car Manufacturer Finally, one I have a real opinion about: Honda
9. Personal computer I've had good experience with Gateway...
10. Pick-up Truck Manufacturer Sam's Ford truck is still going strong at 13 years and 189,682 miles
11. Razors Gillette
12. Running Shoes Nike
13. Shampoo Whatever doesn't have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it
14. SUV Manufacturer Whoever makes small ones

My answers were pretty pathetic. Sorry.

After rereading through my answers I realized first I spelled Snickers wrong.... my bad. And, because I know this is a real important servey, I want to change my battery answer to "whatever's in my remote." (it's always changing)

Holly said...

Ack! I spelled survey wrong...:(
