Note for Tim Horton's addicts:

Going from a triple-triple to a double-double does not constitute 'cutting back'. Going from 3 large coffees to 4 mediums is also not 'cutting back'.

I went from an XL each morning to a L each morning...

I agree people will support whatever cranks their gears. I only mean that if people can't enforce meaningful boycotts surrounding issues like child slavery then I have a hard time believing then something like this will ever happen either.

I'd be in favour of both causes though if they could happen.

100% agree. The sad thing is media coverage of the NHL Lockout would beat out any coverage on child slavery.

Did any of those organized fuel boycotts actually work?

I wouldn't boycott any of these companies.

I think it's a little extreme to expect these sponsors to make any kind of stance based on what the owners/players can't agree upon.

Not sure what the point is here.

It's another example of people wanting to find a way to kick sand on someone because of the lockout.

If you mean kicking sand on the NHL, I agree.

You're better off using this tactic on companies owned by NHL owners than focusing on sponsor companies.

No question though, hurting companies they own and respective sponsor companies (that generate leauge income) would be ideal............
