Are you a brand name or store brand kind of person? People generally fall on one side or the other for various reasons. Today, I want to explore what those are and see if there is really a BETTER option. Will the generic brands rise above their bad reputations? Will the brand names fail to meet the hype? Let’s test some food!

This is why I love Aldi so much, pretty much the same stuff but cheaper
Aldi, Tesco, Lidl, Kaufland, Coop. Yes I do live in Slovakia, stop asking.
You mean trader Joe’s sister company? Considering trader Joe’s is the most successful private label store in the states is not very surprising. Interestingly enough they are both German companies
@Royal Fizzbin yeah true
Lidl and Aldi
@IAmGuy yep reported them
Very nice. You just confirmed that the generic brands are literally the same in every way, and they’re cheaper because the studies showed that people tend to trust big name brands more than the “knock off” versions. Wonder how many people are going to save more money now, because of this video.
Get Outta here
around 887 thousand so far.
@najj channel same
Funniest thing. I worked at a grocery store with a specification in food….
I was putting sugar palettes (like full wooden palettes, because people always buy sugar in bulk) and checked the producer of the knock off brand….
It was THE SAME producer as the actual branded product…. just that they left their name off of the package.
It’s mostly about “status” and/or “wealth”; if I wanted fried chicken, I could just order one in my local fast food chain, but if I wanted to show people I can afford expensive things or feel like a king(mostly because of this), I go to McDonald’s.
There is a perk in eating rich; food tastes better; higher quality, more flavors, etc.
For the first example with vitamins, that actually applies to all medications! Legally, at least in America, the generic brand and name brand medications must have the same active ingredients in the same amounts. There can be minor varieties in additives, which some people are sensitive to, but the active ingredients must be identical. And this isn’t just OTC drugs, this applies to the stuff you get with a prescription too! And as someone who works in a pharmacy, I can say we really do like when you get the generic since it’s cheaper for us to stock, and therefore we can keep more on hand so everybody can have some. Sometimes, a brand name is so expensive that my pharmacy just doesn’t stock them unless they’re specifically requested by the patient.
An interesting thing I learned while truck-driving is that just about all generic canned goods are the same, like literally. The cans are shipped to a warehouse blank without a label and are then labeled for the store that they are getting shipped to and sent right back out.

I apologise for the two bots under your comment.
Dry foods are like that too

@Racing Girl’s 😘🤤 bot
Honestly I have been straying away from the name brands and more toward the store brand because its so much cheaper and money is already tight as it is. Even if I still joke about the “walmart brand” I am still paying $1.80 for a loaf of bread when other brands there are $4-5.
often making things from scratch is cheaper than even the generic ($0.85 for a loaf of homemade bread) and can be way healthier and can taste better because it is fresher.
the only issue is not everyone has the time to make everything from scratch
“Theyyyyyyy’re acceptable!” was the funniest part of the video.
@Growdot A LOVE THEORY!
LOL And, sadly, the most accurate part of the video. In my many years of store brand experience, that sums store brands up nicely. They’re not as good, but they’re not (usually) awful. You get what you pay for. LOL But who needs a frozen pizza that costs so much anyway? At the end of the taste-test day it’s still a frozen pizza. LOL
Goomy :0
Family Guy reference I believe
i still remember having a “hol-up” moment working at walmart’s stock room. started unpacking some crates of cereal, and noticing the generic and kelloggs brand ones all had the same product, batch and factory info on them. the literal only difference was the cardboard box.
Yup. You’re literally just paying for the name. 🤑
Yep! Sara Lee makes tons of different brands of bread at their factory.
@riduan aqil Just ignore the thot bots
@ICannt Trab dont ignore them. report them
Generics got such a hard rep for being lower quality. I’m glad to see that we’re slowly doing away with it to align with taste and value.

I love how serious this episode, hardly any jokes, you know matpat is truly intrigued with this topic because he has so much to say that he didn’t pad the runtime with skits and jokes
Its these episodes that are the best episodes. I wish Matpat prioritized quality over quantity theories.
Are you joking? This one episode was one big joke. If anything, this episode proofs how dumb consumers are, and judging by all talking points, specifically consumers in USA. It is not how shops and brands work all over the rest of the world. For some reason it is only possible in USA.
@Yaroslav Panych I kind of agree, to the extent that Americans are the epitome of “brand buying” a lot of them aren’t bothered to try new things and so just stick to brands so it’s a bit of a wake up call for them while people in different countries are just sitting there like “yo we’ve been doing that for years” idk tho
Hey Matt, what if you do a brand theory channel? I’ve heard of some chapstick and lotion companies creating products that make the skin dryer so that you have to keep using it repeatedly and buying more product
Sounds like the villain’s plan in a bad spy movie. Oh wait….. 😂
@Gretchen 😂 I laughed way more than I should’ve
