Nonsense... "off-brand" ketchup is made right along with the national
brand name ketchup, in the same plant, in the same vat... they 'may'
water it down a bit to fill the off name packaging... every food
processor contracts for store/generic products. Only a pinhead like
the sqwartz dwarf thinks someone builds a whole new factory to make
"off-brand" ketchup. All manufacturers do this, whether it's glass
cleaner, laundry soap, clothing, booze, wine, everything that can be
sold under different names is... box wine comes from the same vat as
the $30/bottle wine. People buy with their eyes, even if you showed
many women the expensive Leggs panty hose coming off the line being
packed in a off brand cello packet instead of a fancy schmancy egg
they still won't buy it even at half price, for the exact same reason
many folks won't buy box wine, image and boasting. Box wine packaging
is actually much superior to a bottle, and is certainly kinder to the
environment.
