I can't think of much. I'm such a brand whore.

macaroni and cheese, maybe? I like the store brand better than kraft.

Practically everything. I get 95% of my food from Costco and it's usually their own brand. -- nm - ceregon Oct 14, 14:21 1

Nearly everything. I don't buy brand name stuff if there's a generic equivalent available for cheaper. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:20

There's a specific store brand cola that I like better than Coke Zero. - Reagen Oct 14, 14:19 8

  - should I resay it in semaphore? - Reagen Oct 14, 14:23 5
    - in my country Coke Zero is a horrible liquid that passes for a beverage among those missing at least one of their senses - crash davis Oct 14, 14:25 4
      - I think that will hunting disagrees with you. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:40 3
        
        No, I haven't tried Coke Zero. Pepsi Max however is about 90% the taste of normal Pepsi. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:41 2
        
        oh, so it still tastes gross then. Got it. (nmb) - kelly Oct 14, 14:46
