I use Aussie shampoo and Mentadent toothpaste because I like those brands and they work well for me.

For everything else it's all about what's on sale or what I think is the best quality for my money.

Shampoo - 4system. (BTW, you shouldn't use Head&Shoulders. It has a lot of silicone, which is bad for the hair follicles.)
Soap - Dobbeldusch sport.

Beverages - Water and Pepsi. I prefer coke, but Pepsi is cheaper.
Toothpaste - Colgate, mostly because of the handy top of the tube.
Deodorant - Dermosil. They make a wide variety of skin care products.

Beverages: discounter-coffee/fairtraded coffee at my university/generic brands of Cola

Soap: Various - whatever's cheap.
Shoes: Whatever. I have a pair of Vans, pair of Etnies, pair of Nike, some random other trainers, plus some obscure smart shoes.

Shampoo- Whatever my girlfriend decides is neccessary this week.
Soap- 6 bars for $2.50 at the supermarket.
Shoes- Who would know.
Beverages- If it's alcoholic, I'll usually go for a CUB (http://www.fosters.com.au/enjoy/beer.htm) product. If not, I don't really drink soft drinks, apart from water or fruit juice, or the like.
Toothpaste- Is McLeans. I don't really care what it is, but we bought a new tube last week.
Deodorant- Speed Stick (I've never heard of Axe, it sounds somewhat dangerous).
Clothing- I couldn't care less.

Shampoo- Revlon, sometimes I get expensive, specialist stuff. I need to take care of the mane that forms one of my main assets
Soap- Dove
Shoes- I have a ridiculous amounts of them, but I don't care about brands. Lately I am fond of french and italian ballerinas
Beverages- Non-alcoholic, Lipton or Nestea, I consume ridiculous amounts of that stuff, and ColaCao, (cocoa shake). Alcoholic, white and red wine, preferably spanish, italian or chilean.
Toothpaste- Colgate
Deodorant- Lady Speed Stick. Spray deodorants tickle me because of the cold.
Clothing- Too many, I love to be international, and wear each piece of my attire from a different country. Right now I have brazilian pants, italian shoes, a colombian blouse and an american blazer
Parfume- Right now, Lacoste for women, I think this one should be added here.

the only brand i really search out is gillette cuz they make the only shower gel that i find tolerable to my nostrils. oh, and BARR's Irn Bru, the only soft drink i consume with any frequency. currently drinking Captain Morgan's original dark rum, although i'm not really fussy with rum, as long as it's dark i'll drink anyones. i usually go for the generic or own-brand of anything i buy, especially medicines. i couldn't tell you any of the brands my clothes might be from. most are from second hand shops and charity shops anyway. many of them i cut the brand tags/labels/whatever off cuz they generally look shit.

edit: oo, i just remembered, i'm quite partial to the dunlop greenflash range of shoes. they're me to a T, well, witha bit of modding anyway.

Shampoo- KMS
Soap- Oil of Olay
Shoes- Etnies always. It has less to do with brand loyalty than they fit my wierd feed.
Beverages- Coke products
Toothpaste- Don't care
Deodorant- Lady Speed Stick
Clothing- I don't care. The Polo Saturday jean is a perfect fit for me. So is Baby Phat, but I'm not paying over $100 for a pair of jeans. And I don't like how they look.

Beverages - Well, most recently, I have had Jose Cuervo "mini margaritas" and plain ol' tap water. With lunch, I will probably have a can of Cherry Coke, because that is what is in my refrigerator at the moment.
Toothpaste - I just recently bought a tube of Crest "Lemon Ice Whitening Expressions" on a whim. It's not bad.
Deodorant - Secret "Violet Dazzle"
Clothing - Whatever fits and is reasonably cheap. In that category, I often find I like jeans made by "So..." and shirts made by "energie."

Other products, though supposedly similar, are a poor substitute.

Beverages- I usually drink tea, Lipton to be exact.
Toothpaste- I make my own. (it tastes like crap) and I use Scope mouthwash.
Deodorant- Dove (it smells like cucumber)
Clothing-not a thing I own is name brand. Other than my one pair of blue jeans, I pretty much make it all myself.

shampoo--pantene is my favorite.

deodorant--whatever i can find that isnt anti-perspirant. tom's right now.

soap-- dove, dove body wash, oil of olay bar. the oil of olay is the best soap ive ever used for just getting my hands clean. its the best.

toothpaste--aquafresh extreme clean. the best at getting all the gunk off my teeth

shoes--avia walking shoes, otherwise whatever looked appropriate at the payless store

clothing--whatever walmart or target is selling that isnt too damned ugly.

beverages--whatever coke or pepsi products are on sale this week. the occasional bottled water. herbal tea now and then.

dawn dish soap, electosol dishwashing machine soap, sunmaid raisins, purina cat food, doritos corn chips, grandmas tortillas, kleenex tissues, OB tampons, dove face moisturizer...

Shampoo- Whatever has conditioner and a convincing side effect listed on it that I can never tell if it happens or not. I never notice more or less 'body' etc.

Soap- Whatever is cheap and smells nice.

Shoes- Caterpillar work boots. Only because Tonka doesn't make a work boot, apparently...

Beverages- I used to drink Diet Coke like it was a cancer vacine, but now I just drink water.

Toothpaste- I approach it the same way I buy shampoo, but the suggested effect on the tube which of course never manifests.

Deodorant- Degree. but now they divided up the scents into 'women' and 'men' and the scent I was using is now 'women.' If I was more secure I would say 'screw it, I like smelling a little like baby powder and who cares?" but I'm not, so I'm in search of a new scent. Though Degree does keep me from stinking longer than others I've tried, so I'm looking in there first.

Clothing- Sadly, my pants come from Old Navy, or Gap for Fatties, because they are the only ones I can get cargo pants from and I wear cargo pants cause I need the pockets so when a camera man hands me two honkin' batteries and his walkie I have somewhere to put all that nonsense. Shirts so far are either swag from my alma mater or hemp shirts because hemp is great. I should get more shirts because I don't have that many and they sometimes make it look like I'm still in college, which I guess would be great if I was cruising for college age chicks, but I'm not-and it looks like I am and badly, so that's even worse. Unfortunately I just can't get a taste for shopping for clothes, so I buy whatever hemp I find that fits and roll with that. I'd almost go on those wardrobe shows except I don't want the two hour long discussion of, "No, I need cargo pants and no you can't cut my hair or shave my beard. Just find me some shirts..."

Shampoo- Don't care
Soap- Don't care
Shoes- Don't care
