I'm pretty sure my kids occasionally drink Arizona. I have no idea what the Florida Orange Juice thing is about, but we don't keep orange juice around at all. Nobody in this house has any interest in owning a firearm, so to say that we're boycotting Beretta is a bit of a stretch. Our gas comes from a station that may or may not buy from British Petroleum. Who knows? No Denny's anywhere around here, but it's not really the kind of restaurant I favor.
I'm sort of in the same situation as you

Chick-fil-a always tasted disgusting to me, so technically I can't boycott it because I never ate there in the beginning.

I never had any interest in Duck Dynasty whatsoever.

I never have had Arizona Tea, and I'm not interested in trying it.

I don't drink orange juice, except for an occasional mimosa and I have no idea what brand is used.

Denny's is nasty.

Beretta's are expensive. I have a Glock.

I've never stepped foot in a Hobby Lobby, looks like a store full of junk and tchotchkes no one needs.

There's not a BP gas station in my area. I normally go to Racetrac, Quick Trip, or 7-11. I have no idea where their gas comes from, nor do I care.

I purposely don't go to Wal-Mart because the ones near me are trashy and ghetto. There are plenty of other reasons not to go there. They are a drain on government, and teach their employees how to be welfare queens.

I don't shop at Sam's Club either. I have no need for large bulk items. I live in an apartment, and don't want it looking like Mama June's house.

Florida Orange Juice is boycotted by some because of Trayvon and some NAACP chapters have called for Florida boycotts (this is the group that boycotts South Carolina, a state with a minority female governor and a black Senator because the rebel flag flies on the state house grounds).
Ah, I never heard of anyone boycotting Arizona Tea, must have missed that one.

That makes no sense and I have never heard of anyone boycotting it for that reason.
