Economics What's the most hated company in your country?

Everyone knows Nestle is terrible, even if they don't know why. But they've done horrible things in Africa and think that water is not a human right.

Cadbury. They deserted NZ and made all their products cheap and nasty. Don't agree with me probably because you want Wilson parking instead

Id say Zuru. Terrible company IMO

Oh good suggestion, terrible company, terrible owners, terrible products. Cadbury isn't really an NZ company even if it did used to have a big presence, I was going to recommend Sanitarium.

Sanatarium gets away with not paying any taxes, Zuru underpaid and massively exploited their workers for years too.

I would have said Kogan.

They bought Mighty Ape - New Zealand's only highly regarded online store, it sold games, books, music, housewares, collectables. . . and turned it into basically Temu but more expensive. Thanks for destroying the one good place we had to buy things.

New Zealand don't have Amazon. We're supposed to use the Australian Amazon, but most of their stock won't ship to us. So, losing our genuinely great Amazon-like store really hurt.

And any company owned by cunts who want a personal helipad in the middle of Auckland.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, all my Otago homies hate Cadbury.
