Answer

For the most part, I'm a faithless customer. If ingredients I don't like show up on a label, I'm outta there. Same thing if a new, more interesting brand seems worth a try.

That said:

Hellman's mayo

Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard

Polly-O ricotta

Smucker's creamy peanut butter

Trader Joe's roasted, unsalted Almonds in the red labeled bag

Answer

Hellman's Mayo

Crystal Hot Sauce

Talk O' Texas Okra pickles

Laura Scudder's Peanut Butter

Hatch diced green chile peppers

Ro-tel

Answer

Barilla Pasta... it's hard to overcook and has the best texture

Pillsbury AP flour... I know the protein content and it works in my cookies

Heinz Ketchup... the other brands don't taste the same

Palmolive dish liquid... cleans the roasting pan after I make the turkey and doesn't irritate my hands. (OK not food but certainly food-related :)

Answer

For instant ramen: Nongshim
Beer: Sam Adams (many of their varieties)
Wine: Windy Oaks. My first mailing list wine. Family owned and run. Small operation. All estate grapes. 
Butter: Land o Lakes or Challenge. 
Cheetos. Junk food. I binge on these and then swear off them forever. This lasts only for a couple of weeks before it repeats.
Aside from those, I try to buy fresh or try different brands or private labels of which there are many.

Answer

I only have a few -- for the rest, I'm a store-brand girl (usually Whole Foods 365 brand, which I've found to be very reliable), all the way.

Lea & Perrins
Hellman's mayo
Coke, preferably the imported kind made with sugar instead of HFCS, because it tastes so much better!!

King Arthur whole wheat flour
Rumford baking powder

Answer

Tabasco
Heinz Ketchup
Duke's Mayo
Diet Coke
Eagle Rare Bourbon

Answer

Key West
Tabasco (green pepper sauce)
Bushwhackers (hot and spicy)
Hunt's catsup vs Heinz
Barilla pasta
Maille mustard
Classico (tom. & basil)
King Arthur flour
