Just curious, do you rip any and all branding off of products you buy? Badges from the car, logos on backpacks, etc?

- ghusto 3y agoI don't buy anything with a brand logo on it myself, and see it the same way; it's advertising space for something I already paid for. I've honestly thought about the car thing too, after I saw a car without a make on it (I think it was a custom built thing for some super-rich guy). I was thinking about replacing the logo with something fun, but couldn't be bothered to figure out what it meant for the insurance (believe it or not, it can mean something).
- BeetleB 3y agoShirts - I typically don't buy any that has branding visible while wearing. If I have any, it was an oversight on my part. It just occurred to me my jeans likely do. If I can find a clean way to remove them, I'll do it. Car: Good point. I guess I won't as it will affect the resale value (and cost money to remove it properly). But when buying a car, if I get the option to get the same car without the name, badge, etc - I'd take that option. Backpacks: Rarely use them, but you have a point. If I can cleanly remove them or buy quality ones in the future that don't have a logo, I'll do it. I suppose I could just put duct tape on the logo. Note: I'm not against people intentionally keeping the logo if they want to promote the brand - this is not a moral crusade on my part. I just want the product at a cheaper price if I am going to provide them with free advertising.
