What cheaper branded food products can you spot just by looking or smelling?!


Question:

What cheaper branded food products can you spot just by looking or smelling?

have you noticed how kelloggs rice crispies look exactly the same as supermarkets own brands, but you can tell a bogus cornflake from a kelloggs one at ten paces. kelloggs look thin and airy but cheap ones look like the cardboard that they taste like. weetabix is another you can tell by just looking at them but porridge oats all look alike. cheap priced tins of tuna tend to look different in colour and have much smaller flakes of tuna compared to expensives tins? Nothing smells like nescafe coffee or crumbles like a cadburys flake. any more examples out there. you could mention cheap brands that you think of resemble expensive brands really well.


Answers:
There is no substitute for Baileys! MMmm

corn kernals to me look the same. taste it too..
same with can mushrooms.

but spag bol sauce.. yick.. I spend the extra $1 to get the good stuff. the cheap stuff just gives you heart burn and taste horrible

Penguin Bars and Mars Bars / Mily Ways... Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys all do their versions, but dont taste the same. Coke Cola as well. although tesco cola is quite nice, but can never match the original...

Baked beans, fish fingers and ketchup!

some breads smell wierd to me when their generic.
also coffee,soda,fake chex cereal,butter.

Kraft mac and cheese (blue box) is so easy to tell from the more expensive non-generic brands like Annie's.
