Do you ever get the sneaking suspicion certain companies sell identical products under different labels? I've tried each of these and they all taste the same.

Which do you think is best?

Few years ago in Australia, Cadbury's white chocolate was found to be exactly the same as Cadbury's white cooking chocolate.

>> No.11965860

they definitely do that with the veggie beef-related ones
the best is either the sausage gumbo, spicy quesadilla or beef burrito

is it really that bad? the real injustice would be them selling them at different prices.

They do. Branded food might be made at the same place as off-brand food and the only difference is the packaging.

Shut the fuck up. I make my own soup when I feel like it. When I don't I pop a can open and munch on some delicious soup in three minutes. I bet you derive self-worth from only eating burritos from the hipster local joint across town, you pretentious faggot.

The jambalaya, gumbo, and chicken & wild rice are all decent. The minestrone is pretty tasteless though.

If you don't want to make soup then just don't eat soup

The point is that it's the same product with a different label. The cooking chocolate was also cheaper.

>> No.11966486

>>11966461
it's a different product though, one is thin and easy to bite, break and share
one is thick and unrefined for bulk and easy storage

and of course it's cheaper, it's bulk

Far more common than you think, but not as common as it used to be. A lot of "store brand" items are just repackaged name brand items. Though major retailers are starting to manufacture more of their own goods. If you know someone at a store, they can print you off a list of "made" and "labeled" items.

Looks like same exact ingredients but the one on the left added a little bit more meat. Same exact broth, same veggies, same beef. Maybe post the ingredients list or read them yourself.
