The boycott of South African goods during apartheid, and that against Nestle because of them promoting formula over breast milk in the developing world beg to differ. Very significant numbers participating, to no noticeable effect. Nestle undoubtedly considers it an acceptable cost of doing business, cheap at ten times the price. Those who participate are likewise aware it means never buying anything Nestle ever again. But it's a great way to put the onus on the consumer and not blame the cause - the government or multinational. EU or US regulation on the other hand could probably have Nestle ceasing that practice in days.
