    The big reason the house brand of whatever at the store is 10% cheaper is that brand doesn’t advertise

    That’s what someone in advertising would say. Co-branded (store brands) are cheaper because they are not as good as the brand name. The co-brand manufacturing company intentionally makes them with less quality, even if they are literally made in the same factory as brand names. If they didn’t, the brand name company would complain and pull their business.

    Then there are brands like Nabisco that do everything in house. Oreos are way better than most copies because they have better ingredients and quality control.

    No I don’t want to hear anyone’s spiel about how they think co-branded food is better than brand names. That’s your opinion. The facts are that co-manufacturing factories literally adjust their quality based on what the brands pay them.
