Like other's have said, if I am in the position to use or recommend a product of a company that I have interviewed with in the past. that brushed me off after the interview, I won't hesitate to be petty about it.

I'd say that's a fairly selfish way to frame it. You took time out of your day to interview for a job, not to do someone a favor. The interviewer took time out of their day to give you an opportunity to obtain a job that you presumably would like to have. That's pretty much the sum of the transaction right there, nobody owes anyone anything beyond that.
Sure it would be nice to get some constructive feedback, but you aren't owed that. If you want constructive feedback on your resume, interview skills or general job search there are people who provide that service. The whole idea that you are ever 'owed' something simply because you interviewed for a job is ridiculous. You're the one doing the asking here, not the employer. You should be treated respectfully, but beyond that you should be taking care of yourself, not relying on them to help you out.
