HOW "WOKE" IS GEN Z REALLY? So-called Gen Zs are usually labeled as healthy, socially conscious, lovers of Bernie Sanders and socialism, haters of capitalism and big companies. Yet a list of this demographic group's "favorite brands" indicates that they're more like the adults of the 50s than they'd like to think. (Do they ever wonder from where KFC and Doritos are "sourced"?)

Here is the list of Gen Zs 100 favorite brands. Show us the social consciousness!

As much as GenZ wants to be "special", they're like everyone else.

I never trusted anyone who tries to police what other people do, anyway. They'll reap the rewards of being busybody assholes soon enough, I'd guess.

This was not one of your better episodes. You used to open your show by saying "The issues you REALLY care about" Not sure is most people really care about this.

Read the description of each episode before you listen. Then if it isn't interesting to you, simply don't listen to that episode. Many people wrote and said that they did enjoy this episode. Not every episode is going to appeal to every listener. I'll be looking forward to your topic suggestions which you can email directly to me at tom@blowmeuptom.com. Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't eat or drink a single product in this list. Well, maybe the Ben & Jerry's.
