1. Only Pharmaceuticals

I'm not going to go buy BEER or anything.

2. You remember that?

The white can with the black letters "Beer" on it? That crap was VILE!

:puke:

3. LOL - never tried it

It looked pretty rank tho...

Props to you CL for trying it.

14. I thought it was white cans w/ beer labeling?

:shrug:

[Cuban_Liberal]

17. Aren't those white w/black letters?

Work with me, Jack-- I'm color blind.

20. Yes I meant white cans with black lettering

The pic seems like beige cans with blue lettering. But I could be losing it as well...

13. Generics are Hardly Ever as Good...

as the original. Green Giant niblets in butter sauce. The best!

5. I'm always willing to try generics

I used to think that they couldn't really be much worse. Then I tried generic oatmeal. So while I'm willing to try generics, there are some things that I end up buying brand name

[Cuban_Liberal]

6. Same here.

I'll give generics a fair chance, and sometimes they ARE just as good, but sometimes you just GOTTA go with the brand name, right?

;)

7. I'm the same.

And when it comes to oatmeal, I only buy Quaker.

10. some generics

No way in hell I wanna try that BEER though.

No generic ketchup either! That stuff is nasty.:puke:

[Miami Liberal]

11. Some generics are actually pretty good

but I can't do without my Kellogs Frosted Flakes, often imitated but never duplicated. :)

[tridim]

12. Are store brands considered generics?

If so, yes, I buy Safeway brand generics all the time. They're usually better than the real thing.

15. Remember that band in the 80's that was "Generic"?

They were on American bandstand I think. The wore white shirts that had "Guitar", "Drums", "Bass" and whatever on them. It just crossed my mind.

16. Some store brands are good.

They are packaged by regular manufacturers.

[politicat]

18. store brands? yes. No generics available here.

I buy lots of store brands.

[Cuban_Liberal]

19. Schwan's make LOTS of generics and store brands.

I have a buddy who works for them, and they do tons of 'private label' stuff. They also makes Jack's@ pizzas.
