It's an academic question in my case... any of them would make me feel sick!

Haha, oh dear! I didn't know you disliked coffee that much!

On my way home in a minute ... look forward to seeing you soon! :D

*rolls eyes too*

I can see how someone could miss the brand>owner connection between say Vauxhall and GeneralMotors, but how does someone manage to purchase and use Nescafe on a daily basis and yet miss all the keys that it's a Nestle brand?

Do you hav any of those 'Nestle brands' cards from Baby Milk Action to give out? (http://www.babymilkaction.org/shop/boycott.html#product) Unfortunately the cards are about 24 months out of date now, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands seems to be th most up-to-date resource.

(If anyone baulks when they see just how many things Nestle owns, suggest they at least boycott the headline brands such as the coffee, cereals, and chocolates.)

Oooh, i didn't know about Vittel. *mental note*

I already avoid Evian because the advert with the babies freaked me out somewhat! If i ever do want bottled water i prefer Brecon Carreg or Highland Spring :)
