What people ignorantly fail to realize is Walmart is a huge Corp with tons of influence and certainly has privileged access to good foods. People assume it's all cheap because its bad quality but it's cheap because its freaking Walmart
Often store brands are produced in the same factory as the name brand and sometimes are the same product, just different demand at different price points. Sometimes a bit different, though depends on the product. For a lot of type of items, the brand name is no better.
Fun fact!: I used to work for Con-Agra “A company that produces food for multiple companies” and I can confirm they change absolutely nothing about the brand names vs. the generics. Literally the folks in back “cooking” up whatever product don’t even know when the front switches labels. It is 100% the same product.
You should review "original coke" they cut the sugar without telling anyone. No more "classic" coke. When you close your eyes and drink it, it tastes like nothing aka pepsi. @shophocho7798
I've tried a variety of the Great Value chips and they've always been worth the price. My favorite are the Kettle Cooked Jalapeno because they taste better than the Lays version.
I used to work for Roscam bakers. They make and toast the cereal you buy at the store. The same Captain Crunch you buy is the same as Aldis, Walmart, Meijer, Safeway, Kroger's. They just switch boxes.
Lays does not make any store brand chips. They are busy enough making their own products. There are MANY other companies who do make the store brand chips for Walmart and other stores. The company who makes Kroger chips also makes the chips sold as Members Mark at Sams Club. Barbecue chips at Kroger are the same as the huge bag of barbecue chips at Sam's. Or the little lunchbox bags. Store brand chips at Publix are made by Golden Flake which is owned by Utz. There are dozens of other suppliers across North America. Lays focuses only on their own brands.
Try lays lime chips vs HEB lime chips. The difference is unbelievable. HEB chips are superior in every way. The other flavors are good as well but lime was the most noticeable to me. I loved lime lays chips but once I had the HEB brand I was surprised at how much better they tasted 😂
I know this isn’t in the states but in Britain loads of name brands potato “chips” are produced in the same factories as generic store brands. For example there is a brand called kettle chips here and the co-op version of this brand is made in the same factory and whilst they don’t have all the same flavours the ones they do have are identical for basically 1/2 the price.
As a former employee in a lays factory indeed they are same chips. We used same seasoning and same potato’s to make chips and then packaged them into separate bags.
@@Ziv_ because they own WALMART. they make other sources of income and dont need to raise the prices as high. and being cheaper, they also entice more people to buy them over an expensive option. but people gravitate towards lays because its what they know, and new = scary.
Would you please consider doing other food comparisons? Yours are so interesting, thank you! One idea is to compare Chili from the Wendy’s fast food restaurant: vs: the Wendy’s canned chili. Could you please also compare and review various bagged Popcorns? Smart Food Vs Skinny Pop vs Costco vs Trader Joe etc, there are so many store brands. it would be so interesting to see your results & know which is best for the price.
@@Simplyjordann you’d be very surprised how big the industry is considering annual revenue is over $90,000,000,000. You probably have our products in your house right now.
Yea I noticed that too. Maybe the packaging or handling process is different? You get more whole chips with lays, but with Walmart, way more of them are broken.
Too many people are not seeing this, walmart (great value) sour cream and onion chips are less quality and not the best off brand sour cream and onion chip, the one from dollar general is hands down the best off brand sour cream and onion chip ive ever tried in my life, a bit more expensive than great value, wayyyy less expensive than lays
I worked for Unilever Best Foods...the margerine we manufactured for various grocers were pretty much the same, the only thing different was the box's labeling...We made Country Crock, ICBIN Butter, Kroger brand, Public brand, off brands, any brand you can think of was made there...in some there were only a few minor ingredients, the other stuff was made from the same formula
@@Israeli_Prince Costco “Kirkland” brand are the same thing of a lot of name brand stuff. The clothes, the foods, the alcohol, golf balls exercise equipments, motor oil. They are all the same as the name brand stuff but cheaper
@Saint_Jerome basically they come from the same factory as the name brands. The name brands usually contract out food production to a subcontractor but outline their own quality parameters. These same contract factories make the same Kirkland brand copy of the original with slight variations or distribution so as mlnot to "cannibalize" the premium market for the brand names. It's a way to make sure the factory is not under utilizing capacity to lower per unit costs.
Same with the milk. I work at Saputo and there's not one cow there. Even if you're buying 100% whole milk its just water and powder with a high concentration of milk fat. 2% milkFAT and so on. They even make nondairy milk there. Burger King and mcds and Walmart and Publix all get their milk from saputo.
Same with off brand milk and store label milk. Off brand is a dollar cheaper per gallon and it all comes from the same dairy plant. They just slap a different sticker on the jug.
Great Value chips and cheese puffs are great. The Great Value line has a lot of great stuff. I shop at Wal-Mart once a month just to buy their Great Value products
Also Lays potato chips have been lowering their quality and the flavor change but the price keeps going up. They did the same with hot Cheetos. In my opinion it is better to buy other options because paying almost $5 for chips is crazy.
I disagree with everything you said. Lay's potato chips are the best their quality has not gone down. Walmart chips any other kind of generic chips are just not the same.
I've been eating Lay's chips for half a century and their quality has definitely declined over the years. So this may not be a case of GV being just as good, but of Lay's being just as mid. Also, a thought is just occurring to me now for some reason, the decline in Lay's chips somewhat follows the rise in popularity of flavored potato chips, which barely existed 40 years ago; in other words, Lay's has been able to cover up the quality drop with flavored powders. The only real way to compare these two brands may be to use plain chips.
Was a broke student and I used to buy Doritos almost every time I went shopping. When I became REALLY broke ( as a student) I started buying the store brand, it was actually slightly better tasting AND SUBSTANTIALLY MORE.
If you like wavy chips, ruffles, then try the Kroger brand chips. They taste good and if you're going to use dip then you wont even notice a difference anyways. Otherwise a good Lays like chips are Brims brand if you are in the midsouth. Lays Stax are a good substitute for Pringes and like a dollar or so cheaper a can.
@@nelysilva5833 I hate Walmart. I go to Kroger instead. Kroger brand stuff has a lot of stuff that's good and at a great price as well. Hell sometimes it's even better than the name brand stuff.
Lays also makes great value. This is how walmart does their private label. They go to the national brand and have contracts for them to wrap their product in a great value wrap. The only companies that refuse them are the brands of A-1 & Heinz 57. They are so huge they don't need walmart to maintain their profits and keep their product their own. The reason I know this is I worked for a company who had a contract with walmart doing this very same thing. The reason the chips taste the same is they ARE the same. Save yourself some money some time. Oh this goes for yogurt, cheese, charcoal, on and on and on. Companies who struggle consider it a win- win to be awarded a walmart contract due to the immense need of the retail giant meaning huge profits. FYI PS.....I am certain that now there are other major brands who stand alone who won't work with walmart because they don't need walmart's volume to gain profits. I simply can't list them all.
One thing I've seen many times at WalMart was they would introduce a Great Value copy of a name brand item at a lower price, then the name brand item would be moved out of the best shelf spot. Eventually, the quantity of the name brand was reduced on the shelf and sometimes deleted altogether. Next, the Great Value item is riced as high as the name brand was.
Generic/store brands are often made in the same factories as bigger name brands. So in the end you're essentially just paying more for the name on the bag.
A Great Value brand Sour Cream & Onion package. Its labeled as Party Size! and ot weighs 12.5 oz. This may be the old packaging, but Walmarr still may be carrying it in your location.
The same with most products that are sold to ‘consumers’, not even considered people by the system which doesn’t have your best interest at heart. They just want the money whilst reducing their own costs and maximising profit. Sad world. (Sorry for yapping)
@@friederichnietzschYou realize they are both publicly traded companies? In short, it's the investors looking to cash as much as possible from these companies that push companies to maximize profit.
I can attest- I work with Walmart as a supplier, and we make private label electronics for them under their own brand name. 100% the same product we produce.
Something to consider is that the quality of ingredients matters a lot. For example, I used to buy store brand granola as well as name brand. Whenever I used the store brand granola mix, there were these hard pieces in it that I couldn’t really chew. Not sure what it was, but it happened every single time I bought one. I was really uncomfortable with it. The name brand was more expensive, but the ingredients were objectively better. Basically, they’re cheaper for a reason. Keep this in mind if you care at all what you’re actually consuming.
I used to work at golden flake, and the plain chips that are golden flake brand are the exact same as publix. The only difference is the seasonings are slighty different.
Okay, there is a misconception in the comments when people say Lays makes Walmart's chips. I used to work in a chip factory that made chips for Lays, Kroger, Great Value,etc. What they mean by this is that Lays and Walmart uses the same manufacturer to produce their chips. Basically white labelling. This way they don't have to own a factory. So yeah, the chips are the same basically.
I like how you do the price per ounce difference vs how much better or not the more expensive one is to determine value as I’ve always looked at the price per ounce window in the corner of the price tag for prepackaged items at Walmart and that’s a good way of looking at it as is the item that’s 30% cheaper is 2/3 as good it may not be worth it but if it’s close enough to as good then it’s justified
It’s the same for Candy Bars and they have a good Chicken Sauce “Canes Sauce” at Walmart but I’ve never tried the real sauce since I don’t have a Raining Canes within 3 hours of me.
agreed HOWEVER. It doesnt need to be the same percentage better. If something is a little bit better it can be charged double. Quality matters and doesnt scale linearly.
What I like about your videos is you are teaching me to rate my food choices and pick the better taste versus value. I'm less inclined to grab a $5 starbucks hot chocolate when I can make my own for 50 cents. Starbucks is not 10x better then my homemade.
Food manufacturers sometimes create a batch recipe and just change the packaging for their customer required brands. It's a bit more complex, but that's sometimes what they do. I worked for one a while back.
Good video! Along with everything else, snack chips are insane prices for what you get. I don't get snack chips often, but I will remember this one. The question is, why haven't I seen these at my Walmart? Seems like I wouldn't have missed them. I always set store brand stuff in lieu if name brand
Can you also do a heb version?? I run the meat market and would love to see what you think not only the chips but our American wagyu steaks from our display case. Thanks love the videos. I'm also vegan born and raised go figure lol
Very subtle differences, the texture, the oil used, the seasonings, the additives/chemicals. Even the taste of the bag that imprints onto the chips and the nitrogen used in it tastes different but very slightly.
The one thing I will say about this, I have gotten the great value brand at one point. It doesn’t feel like it has the same amount of chips as the lays bag. Yes, it’s cheaper but it just seems like they’re not putting as many chips in.so I went back to lays. I guess you could just double up on the amount of bags though.
The only majorly different one are the GV BBQ chips vs the Lays BBQ chips. The GV ones are much spicier and have a completely different flavor profile.
People don’t realize that stores have their own brands but no store actually makes them. The only exception is generic breakfast cereals especially the ones in plastic bags are not made by the original manufacturer usually it’s one manufacturer making them all
I cannot remember the name of what this is called, but essentially Great Value would pay the Lay's manufacturer a basic price to produce the product at their plant, it saves Walmart the overhead costs. They pay a premium, a win for Lay's and a win for Walmart.
Did You Know That The Gerneric Brands Are Just Repackged Versions Of The Brand Name And Sometimes The Gerneric Brands Like Great Value Are Produced By The Same Manufacturer Or Company Like Lays Frosted Flakes And So Much More As Well As Non Foods Like Swiffer,Tide,Downy And Solo Cups Too
What people ignorantly fail to realize is Walmart is a huge Corp with tons of influence and certainly has privileged access to good foods. People assume it's all cheap because its bad quality but it's cheap because its freaking Walmart
Lays btw is Pepsi co, so they are also a multi billionaire company. It's just marketing, which costs a lot, rather than the company value
If it's unhealthy then there is nothing high quality about it.
Often store brands are produced in the same factory as the name brand and sometimes are the same product, just different demand at different price points. Sometimes a bit different, though depends on the product. For a lot of type of items, the brand name is no better.
Adding to this. Most products that Walmart sells under their “brand” are produced by the same company they are “competing” against.

I used to work in a chip factory that made chips for Lays, Kroger, Great Value,etc. What they mean by this is that Lays and Walmart uses the same manufacturer to produce their chips. Basically white labelling. This way they don't have to own a factory.
So yeah, the chips are the same basically.
I like how you do the price per ounce difference vs how much better or not the more expensive one is to determine value as I’ve always looked at the price per ounce window in the corner of the price tag for prepackaged items at Walmart and that’s a good way of looking at it as is the item that’s 30% cheaper is 2/3 as good it may not be worth it but if it’s close enough to as good then it’s justified
Those GV sour cream chips are so good!
It’s the same for Candy Bars and they have a good Chicken Sauce “Canes Sauce” at Walmart but I’ve never tried the real sauce since I don’t have a Raining Canes within 3 hours of me.
Love your content. Post more frequently
agreed HOWEVER. It doesnt need to be the same percentage better. If something is a little bit better it can be charged double. Quality matters and doesnt scale linearly.
I like how he eats. He makes everyting taste good.
What I like about your videos is you are teaching me to rate my food choices and pick the better taste versus value. I'm less inclined to grab a $5 starbucks hot chocolate when I can make my own for 50 cents. Starbucks is not 10x better then my homemade.
Lay's Potato Chips will *always* have my ❤️.
Food manufacturers sometimes create a batch recipe and just change the packaging for their customer required brands. It's a bit more complex, but that's sometimes what they do. I worked for one a while back.
used to work in a pork rind factory and i can confidently say great value pork rinds are literally the mission and banken-nets tbranded ones
Try Aldi.
Clancy's Nashville hot potato chips
Or Cuban sandwich potato chips.
Soooo good
The hot ones are the best ones, right next to bbq but for some reason i haven't seen them for years now. I miss them
Good video! Along with everything else, snack chips are insane prices for what you get. I don't get snack chips often, but I will remember this one. The question is, why haven't I seen these at my Walmart? Seems like I wouldn't have missed them. I always set store brand stuff in lieu if name brand
Can you also do a heb version?? I run the meat market and would love to see what you think not only the chips but our American wagyu steaks from our display case. Thanks love the videos. I'm also vegan born and raised go figure lol
Very subtle differences, the texture, the oil used, the seasonings, the additives/chemicals. Even the taste of the bag that imprints onto the chips and the nitrogen used in it tastes different but very slightly.
I love finding chips that are cheap but better value fire🔥
Wow you finally gave us the logical breakdown! You used to give us it backwards which was illogical. Thanks!
Who remembers Jalapeño Cheddar Puffs??? It was before the pandemic and they tasted so great and then gone forever
The one thing I will say about this, I have gotten the great value brand at one point. It doesn’t feel like it has the same amount of chips as the lays bag. Yes, it’s cheaper but it just seems like they’re not putting as many chips in.so I went back to lays. I guess you could just double up on the amount of bags though.
The only majorly different one are the GV BBQ chips vs the Lays BBQ chips. The GV ones are much spicier and have a completely different flavor profile.
People don’t realize that stores have their own brands but no store actually makes them. The only exception is generic breakfast cereals especially the ones in plastic bags are not made by the original manufacturer usually it’s one manufacturer making them all
They really are a Great Value 😂
I cannot remember the name of what this is called, but essentially Great Value would pay the Lay's manufacturer a basic price to produce the product at their plant, it saves Walmart the overhead costs. They pay a premium, a win for Lay's and a win for Walmart.
Did You Know That The Gerneric Brands Are Just Repackged Versions Of The Brand Name And Sometimes The Gerneric Brands Like Great Value Are Produced By The Same Manufacturer Or Company Like Lays Frosted Flakes And So Much More As Well As Non Foods Like Swiffer,Tide,Downy And Solo Cups Too
My man over here throwing a party 🎉
I REALLY like the great value kettle cooked jalapeno chips. I would put them next to any name brand any day and they are 1/2 the price.
Not just Walmart. Kroger and Meijer brand, too! Many items are made at the same facilities. They just slap different labels on them.
Could we please please get more Great Value Vs. Major Brand comparisons and reviews🙏
