Starbucks, with its 15,000+ locations across the county, is the most divisive brand. Half of Americans couldn’t get through a day without a grande Pike Place and the other half only wish they could live one day without seeing the iconic green logo.

Nike also hasn’t been far from controversy the past few years, only strengthening the resolve of both fans and critics of the storied American brand.
