5 Most Boycotted Companies and Brands in History

3. Tesco PLC

Tesco has been boycotted for various reasons over the years, but more recently the company courted a wave of outrage over its 2021 holiday ad, which featured a vaccinated Santa showing off his vaccine passport at the airport. The 90-second spot ended up being the most complained about advert of the year according to the The Advertising Standards Authority and prompted a boycott campaign against the company online, with people calling it discriminatory and divisive.
