	Chris initially became a fan of the [[My Little Pony]] franchise after seeing his friend [[Megan]] had an interest in it. He was notably one of the rare few male fans of the franchise to exist prior to the debut of the cartoon series ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'', which gained major popularity among older adults. Chris loved the show so much that, when it ended its nine-year run in [[2019]], he was distraught and outright refused to accept it was concluding. He claimed to be convinced from his [[imaginary friends]] that the series would continue, and would frequently take to video and [[Twitter]] to try and convince Hasbro to listen to him and cancel their plans to reboot ''My Little Pony''. The eventual release of ''My Little Pony: A New Generation'' would [[My Little Pony Protests\|outrage him]], as best shown in his video, "[[Hasbro! MLP G4 Must Continue; NO MLP G5!]]" This is due Chris's belief that if the show ends, his imaginary friends will not achieve their true potential. This series of protests shows that even when it comes to the same brand, Chris feels the need to pick a side and stick with it till the end.

	Chris's loyalty to this multinational deodorant brand (called Lynx in the UK and [[PandaHalo\|Australia]]) is a classic example of Chris taking advertising literally. Many commercials for the deodorant depicted women throwing themselves at men in a manner reminiscent of Chris's desire for women to approach him in public. Rather than seeing this as hyperbole, Chris seems to believe that the product may have this effect in reality. Obviously, Axe has never worked as advertised for Chris, but he has maintained his status as a loyal customer for many years.

	Chris once felt similar hatred towards the PlayStation 1 and 2, which were at that time rivals to his beloved Nintendo 64 and GameCube respectively. His hatred for Sony and its gaming products, described by Chris as equal to his contemporary hatred of Microsoft, evaporated when he purchased a PlayStation 1 at an SPCA rummage sale for a "bargain." He intended to sell it for profit, but instead played it and found it to be enjoyable. Instead of learning from this, discovering that rival consoles can be equally enjoyable, Chris simply became a [[Sony]] fanboy (in addition to a [[Nintendo]] fanboy) and began hating Microsoft.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 14]]</ref>		Chris once felt similar hatred towards the PlayStation 1 and 2, which were at that time rivals to his beloved Nintendo 64 and GameCube respectively.<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary]] - "Xbox and PlayStation 2, my opinion is the same as yours, they both stink.

	Sonic is the quintessential example of Chris's intense brand loyalty. Chris is, in many ways, the product of Sega's attempt to allow people to feel a personal connection with electronic appliances. Following Mario's success for Nintendo, Sonic was designed to appeal to young children and act as a mascot for Sega. He was concocted by combining elements from other popular cultural elements of the early 1990s, including Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Santa Claus. Part of Sega's strategy was to employ a multi-pronged marketing technique, including video games, television shows, toys and contests. Chris followed all of these closely and in a fateful moment became the winner of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes]], which cemented Sonic's place of honor in Chris's mind. Sonic became Chris's "lifelong hero," replacing his previous "lifelong hero" [[The Adventures of The American Rabbit\|The American Rabbit]] (despite Sonic's much greater grip on his life, Chris has often felt compelled to mention the American Rabbit, as if out of some obligation). While Sonic was certainly a popular franchise, particularly in the 1990s, Chris became obsessed with the hedgehog to a level likely unanticipated by Sega. During the 1990s Sonic occupied nearly all of his thinking, serving as a fantasy world in which he could escape from the realities of daily life. Chris would generally combine Sonic with whatever he was doing, whether it was replacing the characters in Goosebumps books with Sonic characters or combining ~~[[Bionic\|~~Sonic with basketball to form the recolor "Bionic]]." Over the past two decades, Chris has purchased nearly every Sonic-branded game, toy, and bit of merchandise, and seems to view Sonic as something resembling an old personal friend.

	Instead of growing up and moving on when the Sonic brand began to grow stale at the end of the 1990s, Chris merged Sonic with his other beloved franchise at the time, [[Pokémon]], to create [[Sonichu]], who has largely replaced Sonic as the primary character in his internal fantasy world - although Sonic still makes occasional cameo appearances.

	Chris's loyalty to this multinational deodorant brand (called Lynx in the UK and [[PandaHalo\|Australia]]) is a classic example of Chris taking advertising literally. Many commercials for the deodorant depicted women throwing themselves at men in a manner reminiscent of Chris's desire for women to approach him in public. Rather than seeing this as hyperbole, Chris seems to believe that the product may have this effect in reality. Obviously, Axe has never worked as advertised for Chris, but he has maintained his status as a loyal customer for many years.

	Axe is also an example of how Chris considers the products he buys an integral component of his identity. As a loyal Axe customer, he was deeply disturbed when he was told that Axe was popular in the gay community, and he felt the need to use [[YouTube]] to [[CWC Address to Unilever About AXE\|request that the Unilever Corporation]] use labels to specifically forbid homosexuals from using their products. Chris clearly took the marketing towards heterosexual men literally.		Axe is also an example of how Chris considers the products he buys an integral component of his identity.
