The generic just doesn't cut it.

Ok, inspired by the muffin thread.
Which products do you buy the name brand because the generic is clearly inferior?

 

[lxskllr]

If I ate them, PopTarts. I've had one organic type tart that was good, but usually all the off brands suck.

Cola. Some store brands are ok but so are really sickly sweet. Worse than Pepsi to the point of being undrinkable. It's Coca-Cola or nothing.

Wal-Mart's tartar sauce is also pretty gross. Way too much dill.

Dr Pepper

 

[Lonyo]

Red Bull

Thomas' English Muffins are nasty, thus they are the generic brand IMO. Bays is what I prefer.

 

[yhelothar]

motherboards
sound equipment
definitely sodas
a lot of generic chips tasted as good if not better
pasta sauces

soda for sure. I did find some really nice generic pop tarts (actually they taste just like regular pop tarts... i was shocked because I got three packs for $1 compared to four packs of pop-tarts for $3-odd).

 

[nickbits]

I buy store brand everything if possible. I actually prefer the store cola at meijer over coke/pepsi.

So, do you guys eating pop tarts hide them under stuff at the checkout?

 

[smitbret]

Peanut Butter
Frozen Brocolli
Zantac (Wal-Mart does not work as well as even some other generics)

I buy things that I like and want - which completely precludes every generic product made in existence. Probably. I'm thinking...

No, I will buy generic paper, generic toilet paper, generic um. That's it. Shit, I don't even buy generic gasoline.

 

[Avalon]

Publix soda is pretty damn good...

but I'm going to go with tires.

 

[waggy]

Generics? WTF only poor people buy generic!

 

[dfuze]

Dr Pepper

Yeah, Dr Thunder just doesn't cut it

 

[MDE]

Generic toilet paper either hurts or just doesn't clean my bum. Only the good stuff for my anus.

You just described 50% of the current population.

 

[shortylickens]

All computer stuff. Had too many issues.
Ditto guns. That Cobra Arms is only a hundred bucks for a reason.
Cola. But most other soda pop's are fine in generic.
And most recently, underpants. I have much more comfort with fancy Adidas and Tommy's than the cheap stuff.

You are not your fucking khakis.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Hellmann's Mayo

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Percocet

 

[OUCaptain]

Canned tomatoes. The generic have too many bitter green spots. They ruin the entire pot of sauce.

 

[Bignate603]

Dishwasher detergent. We tried a generic once and had to throw it away, it couldn't clean worth crap.

Thisaone. Most "cola"s taste terrible and leave an aftertaste. It's Coca-cola or Pepsi.


Also cereal; fruit Loops are not "fruit rings".

Actually, fruit Loops are neither fruit, nor Loops.
