19. I think Coors beer probably qualifies.
The Coors Brewing Company's line of beers has been known as a "scab" (anti-union) beer since I first started drinking, and Coors Light has directly targeted underage drinkers practically since I can remember. Heir to the Coors throne Pete Coors set a new benchmark for negative television advertising, to the point where it may have harmed his Senate campaign.

I don't drink anymore, but when I did Coors Light was the same thing as sex in a canoe--fucking close to water. However, Coors also has a well received fake microbrewery line, called Blue Moon. The Blue Moon Belgian White was, in my opnion, a fine beer, perhaps the best ever produced by a major brewery. So those of you still on the sauce (People, it's been a week, already! Sober up!) may like to continue the decades-long and totally ineffective boycott of Coors products.

Maybe I shouldn't say it's totally ineffective. Despite its huge advertising budget, Coors is still a distant third among American breweries.
