Which US consumer brands in the UK can we boycott?

[Gargamel]

The power of the boycott is real, are you giving up buying any US brands?

[Good Plan Ted]

Flying Boeing
Using Apple or Windows products .

[Sporky]

Amazon. Both as brand and retailer.

Spotify. [edit] no - Swedish, it turns out.

Costco, but they're publicly anti-Trump. Same goes for Mattel.

Depends on your aim.

Nike? Buy Adidas
Levis? Buy one of a million alternative brands
Starbucks? Go to Costa
The North Face? Buy Berghaus (or better yet Rab)
McDonalds? Go to Greggs
Apple? Buy Samsung
Tesla? Buy Seal
Cancelled YouTube subscription and closed accounts on Facebook and Twitter (not that I paid anyway)

Hold on, let's not be reckless, we might need to keep the yankees sweet, when they will bail us out, yet again, when we needlessly get involved in another European war.

Make mine a double Mr Daniels and a very large shaved cow in a bun.

[Callerton]

Facebook.
X.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Pornhub.

[MikeM6]

Only in the FT comments section.

Sounds like another pointless token effort for some people to convince themselves they're doing something.

Like pissing in a wetsuit, they'll get a warm feeling and no-one else will know or care.

Yeh, Spotify is probably one of the only big tech companies you shouldnt boycott

[bigmowley]

The obvious one is Tesla as you get to have a go at two dheads in one hit. Otherwise not much. Which goes a long way to explain why trade tariffs work for the Americans. Sadly we need them a lot more than they need us.

[Mortarboard]

Canada is doing it right - combined IS boycott with promote local.

UK could do with that.

(And perhaps actually use brexit f9rva change...)

But make sure you take a break from time to time. Claw hand rsi puts you at risk of typos.

Unfortunately it’s impossible to avoid their most profitable product, AWS.

[RichFN2]

Coca Cola
Pepsi
Ford
Netflix
Domino's
Disney
Snap-on
Stanley Black & Decker
GoPro
Goodyear
Foot Locker
Bose
Hilton

I'm not saying you should, just listing some other popular American brands.

[Vanden Saab]

Looking forward to seeing all those boycotting US stuff closing their Pistonheads accounts.

UK/EU should give big incentives for local cloud providers whilst giving “talk” of future taxes/tariffs whatever on AWS/Azure/Gcp.

Big impact that most people won’t really understand.

Boycotting American companies is already a form of masturbation
