Oreo couldn’t really be considered an “off-brand” at this point. They are a name brand, but they’re also something of a knock-off or copycat. Hydrox was actually pretty well known when I was a kid, but I grew up in England where Oreo had taken over the market so much yet.
It still hurts that Emkay got rid of a lot of its originality. It still has the lovely narrators, which I love very much. But the Intro, Outro and Fanart are all gone (I know the fanart will be back soon)
I will be SOOOO happy to see the fanart return. It was always fun to see what pics people would make. And no matter if they were a simple sketch on lined paper or a full colored painting/digital design I loved seeing all of them.

As a Pole, I'm actually surprised to see a bootleg Sonic pickle jar as I don't recall ever seeing any of that in any store I've ever been shopping at (at least not in a long time)
Annoyingly, if the Evertale ad shown was what the game actually was, it would be a great knockoff. It looks good, it has an interesting concept, and it seems like fun. But I've read many reviews on the game, I scrolled quite a bit down on the Google play store reviews page for it. That advertising is as false as it gets.

7:45 Our dragon reccomends: tasty "crunchy pickles" (the mascot was probably based on the Krakow's famous dragon, so it's a Dragonic kekeke) I'm polish and I've never seen them in any store, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were sold in small grocery stores/kiosks in the countryside to this day.
1:43 Funny thing is, kirby did used to have "whiskers", or atleast they looked like whiskers. There was also a blue whiskered kirby of course. Not so much eyebrows.... Tho I am kinda into it idk
I just realized that getting rid of the intro and outro means that we might never hear Jack randomly moan at us again... Guys please bring back the intro and outro? Please?
10:03 Oh boy... Evertale.... let's just say its ads have NOTHING to do with the actual game and I'm genuinely salty the game they show in the ads doesn't actually exist. Goose Boose's video on it is great. It's just titled "This game is lying to you" IIRC. I want the game they pretend to be so bad! :*(
I think "duner" was a localized spelling of "donair" that Canadian treat that is similar to a gyro. It's made with doner kabob meat, and again, very similar to duner.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think Twist & Shout is actually better than Oreo. They’re almost identical, but the cookie is slightly less bitter and a tiny bit softer (though still crunchy.) Off-brand they may be, but they aren’t crappy at all.
I can guarantee you that India probably has the most knockoffs on record. I’ve gotten fake Pokémon cards, legos, all the good stuff from there, and it’s not like it’s quality, but hey it’s something.
5:12 the worst part about this is that’s a stolen design of an actual Lego set. It was a part of the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them line, whereas the box art is a ripoff of Harry Potter. It’s almost as the designers of these bootleg sets don’t care about accuracy.
Ha, that Luigi's Pizza is down the street and around the corner from where I live! It's been there forever but somehow, I've never once seen a person enter or exit the building.
That panda commercial.... Did saw couple of times on tv, and I do cringe at it. Did not understand their marketing tactics on using a Po rip off with color change. For those who are wondering, the commercial is for a lottery from natural nutritional supplements company , where you buy their products you get points and the most points collected will get a chance to win a Fiat Panda car. This is in North Macedonia btw.
2:03 this is a knockoff of The North Face it's a Canadian clothing brand. Tbh I didn't know that they were at all popular outside of Canada. They're kinda like Roots in that they sell really comfortable but overpriced clothes. Half the price is for the item itself, the other half you're just paying for the brand logo.

Can we appreciate that the Toumapet product 'randomly' used the names of two of the Pevensie children from Chronicles of Narnia?
I looked it up, and yep, it is!
But I took a different approach and made some "lore". (I'm still making the comment for it)

Biblical names are very common

I have an off-brand Jenga at home. It's called "Tension Tower". -_-
Actually kinda sounds better ngl.
It’s almost a cool name and it works on two levels. There’s the fact the tower is always on the verge of toppling and there’s the emotional strain playing it. Both of these could be considered a sort of “tension” in a colloquial sense. I like it.
Spongebob is actually literally called "Sponge Baby" (海绵宝宝 - Hăimián băobăo) in china, so this is just one of those translation things
Wouldn’t that actually make it even more copyright infringing, though?
Nope

The moon in the background is the one from My Little Pony, when Luna was still exiled there as Nightmare Moon.
Fun fact: Oreo’s are technically off brand. The actual original sandwich cookie was hydrox.
The only reason I know of hydrox is cus of that food theory episode
Oreo couldn’t really be considered an “off-brand” at this point. They are a name brand, but they’re also something of a knock-off or copycat. Hydrox was actually pretty well known when I was a kid, but I grew up in England where Oreo had taken over the market so much yet.

I think "duner" refers to "Döner" but not sure
The twist n shout knockoffs are actually really good and about 3 bucks cheaper than regular Oreos.
I have never been this early….. I love The Snack that smiles back!

Probably an export. They likely couldn’t get away with selling it domestically.
