I think I've been lied to.
All my life, I've been told that generic brand items are just as good as brand name ones, that often it's actually the same item just in a different package.
Based on my limited experiences, I think that's BS.
That or the Lucky grocery chain has really crappy generic stuff.
One week I bought the Lucky brand generic pickles (the brand I like only came in really big jars, so I figured why not). They were awful. How can pickles be awful? Somehow these were.
Not having learned my lesson, this week I bought the store brand Jello (or rather, Jello-like product). It had a lot more flavors available, so I happily bought a few.
They're really, really bad. Not only is the texture all wrong (way too thick/solid, not Jello-y), but the flavor tastes very cheap.
Okay, two items might not be that big of a sample food, but my knockoff Jello is making me sad and grumpy.
