Doesn’t literally every grocery store have a store-brand equivalent cream cheese?

>>16820553
Yes, but they really aren't as good as philly brand. Also cream cheese is retardedly easy to make at home.

>>16820553
Hell, some stores they'll just take the bulk stuff and slop it into plastic deli containers, maybe add some mix-ins, but otherwise just sell it like that.
Philadelphia definitely has brand recognition, I'll admit that. Most people can't think of another well-known brand of cream cheese that isn't their own regional one.

no knockoff ever tastes as good as these

>>16820553
>>16820566
The point is Philadelphia is really the only recognizable big cream cheese brand, unlike peanut butter for example where you have Peter Pan, Jif, Skippy, etc.

>>16820590
I guess...? I wouldn't really call cream cheese as ubiquitous or common as peanut butter in the first place, so it doesn't seem strange.

>>16820613
Are you on the spectrum or what?

>>16820613
Yea. I think cream cheese is strictly a US thing in general, and philidealphia brand is the only brand used outsides of the states for dish consistency.

>>16820548
Philly cream cheese is full of artificial gums and thickeners now. Ironically, the store brand generic is more wholesome.

Not food, but the other day I was thinking about how Kleenex has the tissue market pretty much cornered. The only other recognizable brand would be Puffs, but it's not even close.

No one has been able to duplicate it or come up with a better formula. To the point that if you went to someone’s cookout and they had French’s brand ketchup or something you would tell them to fuck off and leave.

Store brand cream cheese is shit.

>>16820840
There's ketchup in Australia which is better, at least two brands I know of; fountain, and white crow

>>16820548

>>16820585
It's true and the crunchy nut variety is a bit good also.
>>16820777

the only reason why this and other products posted are marketleaders is simple marketing. And most people don't even try another ketchup in their lives so how are they supposed to know if it's any better or worse.

i tried store brand cream cheese ONCE and was disgusted, and never bothered to experiment again (isn't this the sort of shit that corporations dream about?)

meanwhile, i like "store brand" ketchup, some cheeses, plain potato and tortilla chips, sour cream, milk, etc.

The best part is it probably shits on your family recipe as well.

Yes but Philadelphia is the only big brand. It's like Coke in a world where Pepsi never existed, sure there's local brand but no o d can really compete

>>16828521
Sorry, Ken's Steakhouse absolutely dumpsters Hidden Valley.

>>16820682
If your brand name has become the common usage word of a product like band-aid or q-tip, you have more or less won and are a monopoly

>>16825076
for sure. for a product full of retarded preservatives it sure is disappointing. store brand here is tastier and goes bad just about as fast while being a lot cleaner in ingredients.

>>16821483
Only in Jersey

I like the Ken's Caesar, both the regular and the light.

no one actually does that though,or is America really like that?

The French cream cheese Paysan Breton is better.

>>16828765
Do you look something up on the internet, or do you google it? Do you use an adhesive medical trip or a band-aid? Do you use a cotton swab or a q-tip. Even outside of America, some brands just become synonymous with the product they produce. Though American brands do fight this because if their name is demonstrated in court as the common usage word, then anyone can use it on their packaging. So I think anyone can call their bandages “band-aids”, even though band-aid is the brand name.

>>16828897
>google
i deliberately say look it up, fuck jewgle
>band aid
bandage
>q tip
dont use these or talk about them so just not a good example for me

i see what you mean, but some things like kleenex and tissue, i dont see why anyone would say kleenex in the first place, let alone say it enough to become a new word, band aid makes sense, google kinda does, kleenex does not

Nutella wins on chocolate spread, but that’s a little too specific.
Oreo wins the sand which cookie; nothing else comes close. But that’s also too specific.
Kraft wins in boxed Mac and Cheese. Sure, you have the delux brands, but those are having to actually try and not be in the same market.
Cheese-whiz wins the market for sprayable cheese, but there’s not enough room in the market for two of those.
I have never seen plain marshmallows that weren’t either jet-puffed or store brand, so I guess that’s another one. The flavored “snacking marshmallows” are a different product, and those brands all seem very new.
Jello is a brand that became synonymous with gelatin, so that’s one.

>>16828916
Because the box says Kleenex, and not tissue. Kleenex only makes one product, so they don’t even say what that is on the package. And since they are such a dominant product in their niche, every tissue box you see is Kleenex. As such, you forget the name “tissue”, since the boxes say “Kleenex”. Like paper towels have multiple brands (bounty and brawny), but Kleenex only has the one.

>>16828916
When you say bandage, I think of the roll and gauze type of bandaging.

>>16820840
Whataburger ketchup is superior

>>16828535
Nah you can get taylor ham elsewhere. I live in Texas and can get it. Comes as the whole thing in the weird cloth bag, instead of pre-sliced like that, but beggars can't be choosers

>Oreo wins the sand which cookie; nothing else comes close. But that’s also too specific.
idk, i heard that hydrox are waaaaay better. i personally have tasted the newmans own mint sandwich cookie and it beats the oreo mint out of the water.

This is truly the best, idgaf about the fucking soy canola or whatever pretentious faggots have to say. This is legitimately the best big brand tasting mayonnaise. You can do a blindfold taste test and pick out Hellman’s every time.

>>16825524
Not to mention that the off-brand variety are invariably shit

>>16829738
they sell high electrolyte content drinks as Pedialyte, or most drug stores have their own brand like CVS. or you make your own with potassium, sodium, and zinc salts

gatorade is flavored water with a pittance of electrolytes.

Powerade. Powerade is the Pepsi (yes, I know it’s actually a coke product) to Gatorade’s Coke (yes, I know Gatorade is a Pepsi product). Go to your local 5ks and stuff, and they serve Powerade and not Gatorade, so it has a definite presence.

>>16820779
Can confirm. I grew up in a Hellmann's family, and certain purists will argue that because Hellmann's has sugar in it, you can't call it mayo, but rather a dressing like Miracle Whip. Hellmann's people will argue that Duke's is vinegary and lacking in body due to it's lack of extra egg-yolks and citrus. If you wanna really fling shit, say you prefer Miracle Whip, especially in recipes like deviled eggs.

>>16832995
i was going to respond to you saying miracle whip is the best for balogna sandwiches but you'll probably think i'm some sort of contrarian.

>>16820553

>>16833091

>>16820553
They do and I've tried them but they are seasoned more which is fine for savory applications but no good for cheesecake/sweets.

In Germany we have a lot of other cream cheese brands that taste just as good

>>16834273
It literally has very explicit, traditional and famous competition

>>16820553
The only good store brand is Kroger.

>>16820548
Heinz for sauces

>>16835298
The specialty store brand from the CAARS/Safeway stores is better, IMO. Kirkland is also usually good.

>>16834671
I’d argue Henderson’s is much better.

>>16830495
Oh right i've seen these at C-vee-S. I'd like to try making my own at home with the salts, but I don't know what companies are reliable.
