Items where generic just doesn't cut it!!!
«

I got to thinking about this today with my lunch. There are some items where generic just doesn't cut it.
Doritos. no generic nacho-cheese chip comes close.
Hellman's mayo. this one's probably out of habit on my part.
Heinz ketchup. No doubt!!!
Duncan Hines brownie mix. Betty Crocker's sucks as do the generics I've tried.
Cola. Pepsi or Coke. I don't buy soda, but if I'm at a party and try them, generic colas just don't taste good.
Maruchan ramen noodles. If you have to eat ramen noodles (whether you are economizing and/or a college student)
Maruchan is the best.
Tyson chicken patties. again, not luxury food, but the taste is much better than generic...on this one though, I use
reverse psychology, since I know the stuff is bad for me, I'll buy the bad ones so I have less
of an incentive to eat them!
any more additions to the list???

Cereal
Rice Krackles are NOT rice Krispies!

Bluto! That's why I love The Jungle. We might go at it tooth and nail with politics, but on cereal, you are 100% correct sir!
Apple Jacks are Apple Jacks, not Apple Rings or Apple Zaps.
Froot Loops
Frosted Flakes
Cap'n Crunch
Cocoa Krispies
however, one generic cereal out there isn't too bad. Frosted Mini-Wheats. Very difficult to taste the difference.

Nothing worse than a wimpy trash bag that rips open as you take it from the kitchen can across the carpet to the garage.....

Amen sister! Leave it to the sex kitten to teach us about the benefits of Ho Ho's!
Seriously, you are correct. Swiss Cake Rolls are the cheap imitation. Ho Ho's rule.

What's that? pot noodle or something?

^It's what I lived off of in college. It's a high-fat, high-cal, deadly sodium level food that sustains poor college students...at least it did when I was in school.
Sometimes it's called oodles of noodles or Top Ramen.

Cover bands are NEVER the same as the real deal. The "Appetite For Destruction" band is NOT Gn'R!

For me it's mainly cereal......I despise generic cereal and used to get super pissed when my gram would try to pass that shit off on me.
As for the dude that said about Doritos.........There's an UTZ party mix around here that has the best fucking nacho cheese chips ever. They taste absolutely perfect......like an actual nacho with real cheese. It's a thick chip too.
Condiments also.....Heinz ketchup is the ONLY ketchup. All the rest are just posers to the throne.

Agreed on the Doritos. And the soda. I do stock Hellman's, but I find that some mayo they use at sandwich places like Quiznos/Subway is different but tasty.

Trash bags.
Random story.
If you ever buy the scented trash bags, and then have to puke in them a lot, I hope you're luckier than I am, as I now have an immediate flashback of bad things whenever I smell one of those fuckers.

Random story #2.
George Harrison (yes...THAT George Harrison)...well, his sister Louise lives in Central Illinois, where she occasionally makes appearances with The Britles (Central Illinois's premiere Beatles cover band!) and does commercials for chiropractors. Hilarious shit, that.

Add cigars to that list, too.
If it's sold on the counter of a gas station, or by some guy whose cousin "smuggled them from Cuba"...it's probably not worth the money.
