off brand foods

As in individual who has worked in the food production world. IT IS THE SAME FOOD WITH A DIFFERENT LABEL.

We will run the same stuff with a premium brand label and do nothing but change labels and boxes for the MANY off brand variety's coming from the same line / batch of product.

Do not fool yourselves lol There are exceptions of course but if one does their research you can easily learn the brand umbrellas.

Aldi’s Nutz
 
Believe it or not I prefer Aldi’s Brand Oreos over the real ones. They are not quite as sweet as the real Oreos. I know that’s blasphemy to most.

I'm basing my preferences off actual taste lol, I'm typically not a brand snob. I also can't taste the difference between blue and yellow M&Ms haha!

All M&M’s taste the same. And, if they aren’t Peanut M&M’s they aren’t worth eating.

People used to say “It’s all the same, made in the same factory, they just put different labels on it.” There’s probably a few things where that may be true…emphasis on few. There’s definitely a difference, but it only matters if you mind the difference. Don’t miss something you’ve never had or have not had in so long you don’t remember the difference. If we like the generic, we buy it. If we don’t, we buy something else. Inflation has bitten into those generics as well. Where you shop has just as much to do with the final bill as the brand you buy while you are there.

I would add that it's also what you are used to, or get used to. I've been eating off brand fruity pebbles that come in the bag for the last 5 years. Tried some name brand fruity pebbles, and now don't like them.

I've heard that's especially true for cheese. That there are only about a half-dozen American creameries making something like 85% of the mass-market cheeses... cheddar, mozzarella, etc. So the Walmart brand cheese comes out of the same production batches as the name-brand stuff at the 'real' grocery store down the road. And as a native Wisconsinite, and the son of a dairyman, it pains me to say that I'm entirely happy with the nicer 'snacking cheese' I get at Wallyworld.
 
This reminds me of an afternoon a couple of my fraternity brothers came busting into the living room and said "look what we found" holding up a couple of six packs - plain white cans with black letters. One labeled "BEER" and the other "LIGHT BEER". Of course we all had to go get some because it was dirt cheap.
 
I would say cheese is cheese but we all know velveta is liquid gold
 
I was in the Private Label cheese manufacturing business for over 20 years. The reason Velveta is hard to duplicate is that it's fully made with only oils and powders. Basically no cheese product in it all all. Not that it matters, but we used to make a Velveta-like product and couldn't really get traction because it tasted too much like cheese! Most other companies are not set up to run large runs of oil based cheese products. I'm not not knocking Velveta, performs very well.

“Velveeta may look like cheese and taste like cheese, but it is technically classified as a "pasteurized process cheese product."”

What Is Velveeta?

You probably have a block of Velveeta in your pantry, but do you know what is it or if it's even real cheese?
