What foods are you a brand snob about?

I really can't think of any foods I'm a brand snob about. I'll buy store brand if it's a better price pretty much every time. I'm fussier about buying premium foods for my cats and dog than I am about getting name brands for myself.
Now toilet paper... that's another store. Cottonelle or Charmin Ultra only.
^^ LOL - this is me exactly!
I'm not a brand snob about food brands, but my dogs eat a top-rated (according to Whole Dog Journal) natural dog food. I also have to have Cottonelle toilet paper (the kind with the ripples) at home. My parents use Scott, and I actually bring my own roll of TP whenever we visit. haha
I should add - even though I'm not a food snob, I AM a coffee snob. I have to have fresh roasted beans that I can grind myself right before I make the coffee. I find the Maxwell House/Folgers that comes in the big tubs to be nearly undrinkable.0 -
Helmann's mayo
Heinz ketchup
French's mustard (for my husband, I don't eat it)
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
Frank's Red Hot
And I too prefer San Marzano tomatoes, regardless of brand :-)0 -
Greek yoghurt - Liberte0

I only use Syntha-6 chocolate milkshake flavour protein powder.
If I'm having pop, it has to be Diet Coke, not Pepsi. Diet Dr. Pepper is also excellent.
Tea comes from David's Tea (or other good, loose-leaf tea). No tea bags.0 -
Ketchup - I only eat Heinz.
And I prefer Coke products. Pepsi is gross!0 -
I am not really a snob about too much. Given I live overseas on base I am pretty much a slave to what is in stock or I have to buy the Japanese version of whatever I am looking for.
Mostly, I prefer fresh over canned or frozen. If I can get organic I prefer organic. And for the record, Japanese chocolates, breads, and mayo are fabulous!0 -
Chocolate!
In order of preference - Haighs, Lindt, Cadbury.
Any others are not really worth the calories.0 -
Triscuits and Frank's Red Hot are the only things that come to mind. I buy generic 9 times out of 10.0

Protein supplements hahaha. I've become a mainstream hater when it comes to popular brands or store brands. I'll research for hours which is the best and why.
I don't drink soda anymore, but when I did... It has to be coke, pepsi, fanta, or Dr. Pepper. I hate the taste of generic store brands or other brands other than those. They taste like watered down carbonized crap. Hahaha0 -
I have never been much of a brand snob, I was a PRICE snob... I would buy the cheapest whatever, anything on sale, or that had a coupon... after joining MFP I am a "calorie snob" now I only look at which one has the lowest possible calories LOL I'll eat a dumb brand if it means I get to eat more of it!0

Most of my brands mean nothing to non Swedes but I will only buy particular brands of things like chocolate, coffee, yoghurt & cookies. My pasta products I prefer Barilla. Only Coke never pepsi or generic. Honestly almost everything I have a particular brand preference for. I don't often buy generic brands of anything! So yes I am a food snob!0

Just Heinz ketchup. Red Gold is an abomination.0

My must-haves are:
Fage Greek yogurt
Whole Earth peanut butter
Tabasco hot sauce
Cadbury's or Green & Blacks chocolate
Co-op Scottish porridge oats (the best I've ever tried!)
HP brown sauce, and Heinz tomato ketchup and salad cream
