    Shouldn’t be hard, as almost everything Nestle makes tastes like crap.

      Maybe stop eating shampoo then. (= They partly own L’Oréal, and by extension all the L’Oréal brands: Garnier, Maybelline, Vichy, Biotherm, etc.)

      To your actual point though: A) that depends on which country you live in, given that their products are manufactured differently in each country/region. B) it does also depend on what brand you’re referring to. I find it highly unlikely you dislike EVERYTHING in the Nestle machine. Hot Pockets? Perrier water? Nerds? Smarties??

        I dont think that is true any longer. They had stock at one point in Loreal but it doesn’t seem to be the current case when I tried researching it recently. A LOT of luxury salon hair brands are in the loreal umbrella like redken, biolage, and of course loreal.

        Yeah and people act like nestle is just gross junk food. Coffee mate, Starbucks (packaged stuff sold in stores)

        That said it was pretty easy for me to quit I only really had to replace a few things myself. Loreal would be way harder

        I mean, referring to your second point there’s only cookie crisps (my favourite cereals) and Kit Kat that I really like more than other brands

        Kit Kat is unique but it’s not like it’s that good that I can’t choose a different snack bar

        Cookie crisps too, I just need to get other brands of cereals, like Kellogg’s! (/s)

        I don’t think they sell hot pockets here, and everyone I know thinks m&ms are better than smarties

      Well that’s subjective, but I see your point, there are definitely much higher quality products out there. But if you grew up with some of their products, there is the nostalgia factor, plus if you can’t afford the higher quality products, you are still going to buy nestle products. You could say they have us by the balls.
