    I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

    Edit: Oh, and frozen pizza. I’ve had too many generics with crusts that might as well have been made of cardboard.

      The problem with non-generic frozen pizza is they cost like a dollar less than a real pizza. Some of the fancier ones cost even more than a pizza from the place right next to the grocery store. Maybe I’m just blessed living in the pizza sphere but even the best frozen pizza is fucking disgusting next to even mediocre real pizza.

      I find the cloth generic band aids to be identical to brand name, the plastic one of any brand, well they’re just crap and I don’t know why the even exist.

      Yeah, this is a case of a brand that’s been subject to trademark genericization where the knock-offs and generic products genuinely aren’t as good.

      Great Value used to have an amazing 5 cheese and bacon white pizza… can’t find it anymore though.
