When I smoked, most of the brands supporting F1 were not widely available in the States. I tried Rothmans having become aware of the brand through its sponsorship of Sportcars in the 70's, (long before the brand graced a Williams), but they were too expensive for a student's budget and tasted like...err...Le Mans at 3:00 AM.
I bought Benetton sweaters before they supported F1, (back when Flavio Flave ran the US division) and I bought Veltins before they supported Williams. But I will never buy Bud and I doubt I'd buy a Compaq. I guess F1 support might influence my decision to try a product, but it hasd to stand on its own merits after the trial. |

Uhn... I used Parmalat products before they start sponsoring teams in F1. And "Nacional" was never my bank...

However the guy that drinks Fosters has blown that right out of the water - either he has no taste or he's been brainwashed! |

Nacional was a brand of sigarettes IIRC. From the Phillip Morris company, like Marlboro and L&M. Last edited by ASCII Man; 8 Dec 2003 at 21:33. |

You sure?
I've seen a list of Phillip Morris owned brands and Nacional was in there somewhere. |

that would be very strange since nacional was also on Senna's helmet when he drove for Rothmans Honda,Camel Lotus and JPS Lotus.

When I bought my new car last year I made sure it had Michelin tyres on it. They wanted to put Bridgestones on, but I requested Michelin, in the end they changed them for me. I didn't want my money to go to Bridgestone and help Ferrari.
I also make sure I never fill up in a shell garage! I will not use Shell products! |

Advertising works according to your bias(es). You use it against some things and for some things. Very powerful thing, advertising...
