You don't need to buy their brands - you're perfectly entitled to buy any other (local) brand you want, thereby strenghtening alternative brands. If people don't do that, they don't seem to want other choices.
- wanderr 17y agoThe big brands have done a good job producing the illusion of choice. How does your average consumer know that all of these different brands are actually the same company?
- jackasher 17y agoThis is really the point. In the beer and other industries we are led to believe we have a multitude of competition between different brands. In actuality, we have two corporations diversifying. If you believe in healthy competition in the marketplace, then this is a bad thing. The natural response is to bring your local brewer into the picture as counter-examples. The point isn't that there isn't any competition it's that there isn't any meaningful competition.
