The amount of times the “generic” brand is leagues above the name brand in quality is staggering. Aside from a few items here and there, Great Value kicks the brand names asses.

I know often they’re made in the same factory with “slightly” different ingredients but still… this ain’t the 90s. The generic is better 80% of the time. I don’t know why, but it is.
