>Store brand cereals are just name brands with the label removed! You're paying for the name!
They don't even taste the same.

people heard that they're often made at the same factory but don't realize adjustments can be made to the quality and prep to reduce costs

This guy's complaining about having a gigantic bag full of delicious cereal

Many random firms compete for private label business in the US, but you never hear about them. Some of them source their product from factories in Canada and Mexico so you're paying the tariffs.

>just like the piston is the same as the engine block because both are also made int he same factory :D

>i want to hear about faggots during sex

while not 100% same, they are near identical, like this>>21538116. also varies by product

>>21538277
YYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Recently tried generic cheez its (not as salty) and generic fig bars (almost no flavor). I'm thinking I'll try generic Chicken in a Biscuit next

>>21538106
One time I had an argument on /ck/ about producers selling the best of one brand to to premium grocery stores and the rest to budget stores.
I still think they do it

>>21538118
>Some of them source their product from factories in Canada and Mexico so you're paying the tariffs.
Yeah, I bought a bag of rice crispies at Wal-Mart and was forced to pay an extra $37.41 for import duties. Fuck that, Imma buy real Kellogg's Rice Krispies from now on, even if it does mean supporting a company run by religious fanatics who pushed circumcision on the U.S. to "cure" boys from masturbating.

Oh wait, you mean that's not how it works, they still have to compete on price, and the manufacturers and middlemen are the ones who have to eat the tariffs to stay competitive? nvm

>>21537963 (OP)
Okay but Great Value brand Rice Squares absolutely mogs name brand Kellogs Rice Chex and it's not even close

For some reason private label rice krispies contain HFCS but Kelloggs' does not. Kellogg's got rid of it and now has "malt flavor." In all likelihood, store brand rice krispies and cocoa krispies will taste more familiar before they get rid of the HFCS too.

>>21538106
This. I work at a food processing plant and we have our own name brand that we produce, then we have product we make for different store brands out of the same shit but with varying combinations and qualities in ingredients.

>>21539277
Walmart shows superiority again.

>>21539170
I think they do too. I bought the same brand of plantain chips at Costco and Walmart and the Costco ones were noticeably better, more whole chips, not as many hard ones, etc.

>>21539990
To be fair that sounds like Costco has faster turn around and the chips were just shipped better and less stale.

Walmart brand cornflakes and honey nut cheerios are both disgusting. It's amazing either of those can be fucked up.

>>21537963 (OP)
>They don't even taste the same.
That's is your impressionable mind telling you that it's inferior. In many cases, it's identical. In yet other cases, it's better. I know the Costco albacore is best in the market. My Publix brand seems to remove the crappy MSG from the national brands. Their ice creams are better than the rest. For sure the Aldi rainforest crackers are superior for your cheese snaking moods. Their sesame rice crackers are always freshest. Many storebrand sodas beat national brands, especially in the root beer and diet soda games.

>>21540195
>That's is your impressionable mind telling you that it's inferior.
No, I wanted it to be better because I'm a poorfag and frosted mini wheats are expensive. I would have been happy to tell big cereal to fuck off.

>>21540179
Possible, but the differences were pretty consistent with the entire bag of both, it wasn't just a few chips here and there being different.

I would imagine that different stores set different quality standards. Like I've noticed with strawberries at different stores too. Cheaper stores will have more underripe strawberries and I'll have to wait like 3-5 days before eating them to let them ripen a bit first. But if I go to a more expensive store they're all pretty much good to eat that day. Cheaper store might have less waste because they can sit on the shelf longer before going bad but it's lower quality too.

Sometimes they're the same thing sometimes not. Look at the nutritional info and if it's the exact same then it's the same thing.

>>21540974
whore

>>21539170
That's essentially what Energizer and Duracell do with their batteries; the top crop is the name brand, the ones that failed quality control get bought by china and sold under like 30 different names.

You’re eating fucking cereal. The fuck do you know about quality?

>>21541022
>Look at the nutritional info and if it's the exact same then it's the same thing.
that doesn't mean the quality is the same

when they have to do recalls the mask comes off Jose ole = great value. Walmart chads we win again

>>21540188
Private labels have yet to nail kellogg's proprietary "malt flavor" with barley malt extract with their corn flakes. That's my guess.

With the honey nut cheerios, the great value lacks the brown sugar syrup, seed oils, and whatever "natural almond flavor" is in General Mills' ingredient list.

>>21537963 (OP)
Save the box of name brand cereal and put the store brand bag of cereal in it.

Is she Chinese or Japanese?

>>21537963 (OP)
Sometimes this literally is the case though. There is something called co-packing which is where two companies use the same machinery to make different products, but one company is overbooked on sales so they contract production out to the other. Exact same processing, exact same ingredients and manufacturing. It's just made at one factory versus another.

>>21541630
laotian

>>21538106
sometimes they are identical though, more so things that have a limited number of cheap ingredients to begin with.

>>21541022
I agree with this. A lot of the Signature Select (Albertson, Safeway, Vons) and Great Value cereals match in nutritional value and ingredients, so there's one plant cranking out the same cereals for various companies.

If you start seeing changes in labels it usually means reformulations. Lately they've been removing dyes and HFCS.

God I wish I looked like that

*rubs girldick on your girldick*

hey. we are going to need to go to the grocery store closet to clean up a mess

>>21542104
I see

It depends on the product. I look at food recall lists daily and sometimes you can spot a manufacturer selling the same product under a premium and knock-off brand

>>21542104
Nah, boxxy was years before 2015.

you people are rude beyond words i dont even know why i bother coming here

>>21543923
Because you want anon dick, presumably
Unfortunately, while I don't mind your being transgender, I find the fact that you're from New Jersey repulsive
Store brand cinnamon toast crunch is just as good as name brand, though

>>21543934
if you tell me a good recipe for chicken liver ill show you my clit piercing

why wont it let me delete pictures

>>21543947
Just soak them in buttermilk and hot sauce overnight, dredge in seasoned flour, batter (using the buttermilk soaking mixture to make the batter), and deep fry them. It's better popcorn chicken. They're not an ingredient you want to overthink.

>>21542040
You mean linetrap? That was more like 20 years ago.

Hello very beautiful lady me want marry you long time

My daughter looks like her

have you ever had the seggs with her xd

>>21538106
I saw a documentary about a factory selling canned mackerel in tomato sauce. They showed the production lines for the name brand and the generic/store brand. It was essentially the same fish, same process to gut it etc.
On the name brand production line they had people lay the mackerel into the can by hand(with gloves) to make them fit well, while on the store brand they were simply chopped to size by a machine. Fish quality was identical though.
Then the tomato sauce added was different, supposedly the name brand had a few more spices.
So really you were paying for 1-2 more premium ingredients and appearance. Might be worth it to some, or not worth it to others.

Did you suffer a severe childhood brain injury? What IS your point? What does your mom pay the helper to come every day to help you get dressed and wipe your ass? Do you wear a little helmet too?

>>21538106
Even if it's the same type of cereal, you can taste the difference 90% of the time.

>>21538116
>bag
That's the dumbest shit ever, now I have to find a container for it.

>>21545428
the bag is resealable, why do you need a separate container

Bout to take a trip to the store, are Fruity Dyno-Bites, Cocoa Dyno-Bites, and Frosted Mini Spooners good?

>>21543923
>you people are rude beyond words i dont even know why i bother coming here
Why am I rude?

I am literally making love with you and you don't want to come to the dark grocery store closet to have a hot make out session with another fellow tranny.

I was in a facility and they put cheap brand cereal into dispenser containers with the name brand logo on them and I could tell it was the cheap brand

To be fair, it's a well-known fact that electronics companies sell cheaper versions of their products to Walmart. The model numbers reflect this.
For example, a Roku device sold at Walmart had the model number3941RW2 while the "same" device sold elsewhere is 3941R2. Note the Walmart one has a W in there.
What's the difference? The Walmart version has fewer ports, a lesser quality casing, lesser quality internal components and a cheaper remote with fewer buttons.
I don't know of any food companies doing this, though.

new creepypasta just dropped!

>>21545061
I do find that find the cost models for these things fascinating
Sardines are similar as well - the cheaper ones are bigger fish that are chopped to size and crammed in, while the more expensive are whole small fish nearly interlaced in the can, likely because they have people on payroll packing them manually.
If a factory is going the extra lengths to make their flagship cereal the best in its class, it only makes sense they build a separate more cost-effective process under a different name to tap into the "dem fruity loops is da same cuz, sheeit" market
