They might use the same ingredients, but the brand name uses higher quality ingredients. Also, it’s rare that two brands have the same exact ingredients. A lot of off-brands are more likely to use artificial flavors since it’s cheaper.

Brand recognition can cause a placebo effect.

In studies of the taste between Pepsi and Coke, people rated Pepsi tastier than Coke when they didn’t know what they were drinking but the other way round when they did know which was which.
