Consumers cannot tell you nearly enough why they buy brands.

It is not clear, when and how the Chinese bought the brand.

Now, the company is counting on customers to buy the brand in stores.

"I will buy other brands for a while - but honestly, these days, we cannot believe in any products."

"Odd that we both bought the same brand of Scotch."

Retailers wanted to buy known brands from existing distribution partners.

And it was the second ruling against Coke's strategy of buying popular international brands in two days.

Even so, consumers would buy the brand that promised only Nutrasweet.

Others could go to local paper merchants or upholsterers and buy domestic brands.

Departments whose employees failed to buy enough or who bought other brands would be fined.
