      To be fair - and I hate to do it when it comes to Shane - at least in the way the video is edited he seems to be talking specifically about the animal crackers that are literally using the same shapes as the original brand. Usually generics won't go that far and I wouldn't be surprise if Trader Joe's got in trouble for it.

      @@gilbert4394 But that doesn't make any sense either. Food scarcity, cost of transport, area cost of living, etc. can make the same product vary wildly in price depending on where you buy it.
      Even if we're talking generic vs. name brand, the same product isn't necessarily the same product. Aldi's might have different quality control requirements than Kellogg's.
      You get the guarantee that what you're buying will taste how you expect it to. Dr. Thunder is not going to taste like Dr. Pepper. Most generic diet root beers have an extra herbal taste that A&W doesn't have.
      You're also less likely to find promotions, coupons, and deals for generic products which can make them cheaper than the other versions which don't go on sale as often.

      I’d like to add on that at first glance, that theory is very slightly believable. But if you think about it for like,, 3 seconds it’s not hard to realize that the pizza is just cut by a teenager and/or someone who just doesn’t care or wasn’t trained properly, so of course it’s not gonna look right.

They laughed, put the shoes back, and left the store.
    To clarify, Marshalls does sell the real designer brands, just at a discount for being last season, etc. They just wanted to be able to brag about spending the full price.

At one point though those companies noticed that people might not have been buying their products because of the price, so instead of lowering them as a whole they created a new brand that was cheaper as a ploy to not only get lower income people to buy their product but also raise the worth of their name brand products, which are the same as the generic brand.

      what makes this more of a delight to learn is that wendigoon tends to present conspiracy theories in a humanistic light, emphasizing the wonders or hilarity of human imagination and (if given reasonable evidence) actually investigating some of them critically, rather than just taking every single conspiracy theory at face value and reacting like the world is a fundamentally frightening place beyond our understanding. plus, (to my knowledge) wendigoon doesn't platform antisemites like how shane platforms his flat earther brother.

    I'm confused, does Shane think all store brands are just name brand products in a different package? They can be sometimes but we've all had a store brand something that is clearly not the same. In fact most of the time it's not the same. Also, sometimes the store brand happens to be better lol

    also, as someone who works in a grocery store, not having service or good wifi is a super common occurrence. it's just because there's a ton of people in there and a lot of other technology that slows it down

    He didn’t even touch what I feel is the most problematic part of private labeling, which is big stores rebranding or renaming products so that it’s harder to compare prices. Wayfair and Overstock do this on everything. Or like how Home Depot and Lowe’s have big manufacturers use different product numbers for the same items, so it’s harder to cross-shop.
    Even those aren’t conspiracies either, but they are much more anti-consumer than anything in Shane’s video… SMH

    his conspiracies always felt like he heard a random rumor and thought it was more important than it was. "theres a conspiracy that if you eat beans they make you toot. there is even a children's rhyme calling them 'the musical fruit'! They arent shown that way in grocery stores, so today we eat some beans to see if the conspiracy is true!"
