What are your similar-product different-brand preferences?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Do we all have preferences in food/ drink of different brands of similar products?
For example, I prefer:
Full fat Coca Cola over Pepsi
But Pepsi Max over Diet Coke
Mars over Cadbury's
Tesco Value Soya Milk over Asda Smartprice Soya Milk (I can't afford that Alpro shit, the amount I drink. lol)
Andrex over Charmin
What are your minute preferences in brands? |

I generally prefer the cheap over the expensive! Tesco value baked beans over heinz, any supermarket own brand bran flakes than kelloggs. Also lidl does lovely granola.
Allows me to spend more on fun stuff!  |

TBH many supermarket own brands these days are on parr with most pricey brands..
With the exception of (ka-kola) .. Whatever is most reasonably priced and high quality.
The premium most pay for brands in most instances is due to an advertising tax slapped on to cover their gimmicky marketing .. campaigns .. Very little to do with it being of superior quality. |

I'm a cola snob I guess... Nothing hits the spot like a tall glass of ckof fizzy Atlanta "wine.. "..
Ketchup is ketchup.. I take your point though, the really cheap ketchup can be sickly sweet vile red goo.. |

"Pepsi over
Diet and zero are identical but targeted at female and males
Branston over Heinz beans
Magners over Bulmers
Anything instead of walkers"
Coke zero is the original regular formula without the sugar.. There is a much more potent full flavor to cz..
Diet Coke is a completely different formula, lighter more delicate flavor with a slight cola kick.
Pepsi is alright, it uses barely as a flavouring which I find too.. Acidic. |
