Pibb is the bets among them

I fucking lost it.

Also, Dr W? Is he a supervillain?
>>
>>7783990
Dr Pepper is pretty much the one soda that never turns out well when off-brands try to make it. The flavors are hardly ever balanced right. Pibb is the only viable substitute, but barely.
>>
>>7783933
dude. why don't you do the dew?

Pepsi

>>7784485
Because mainline dew tastes like corn piss.

The only good dews are red and throwback.

Virtually every brand of generic box of macaroni with powdered cheese is superior to kraft dinner ever since they decided to ruin their product by appealing to healthy eaters that never ate it in the first place.

annies mac is the best one.

Publix cola > coke

As a mixer for rum n coke, cuba libre, coke float, whatever you wish, it simply tastes clearer, cleaner, and more cinnamony. It's handsdown better.

When it comes to things on the shelves, all the frozen publix vegetables are top rate, but when you compare ingredients for things like yellow rice or macaroni and cheese you'll notice a bit more premium on the publix brand. Lack of MSG or dyes, and higher places ranking of the good ingredients.

Mountain Dew is the only soda that actually taste worse when made with real sugar. I can stomach the Throwback sold in the US, but the kind they sell overseas is hot garbage
>>
>>7784494
In USA "made with real sugar" is a marketing argument.

Man....
>>
>>7786625

It's due to sugar tariffs and corn subsidies. Corn growers are hugely powerful and the sugar-beet farmers don't like cheaper foreign competition.
>>
>>7785165
Royal Crown is really good, it's a balance between the sweetness of Pepsi and the savory taste of Coke, but yeah, the brand is super fucking old, it's nowhere near generic, they just sell it at a lower price.

Just like Pibb isn't generic--and I make the argument that it's better than Dr Pepper because it's crisper on the tongue and doesn't linger too long as Dr Pepper tends to do.

But seriously? Store-brand pops are disgusting. Usually the worst offender is the store-brand Mountain Dew knockoffs that taste like windshield fluid. For those who live in Michigan or another enlightened state, the obvious alternative is Faygo, which is GOAT.

Soda is disgusting and you should be ashamed that you drink it enough to know the difference

every generic version of froot loops I've eaten has tasted better to me than the name brand.

I don't have pictures to hand but an Indian owned store near my house sells home made peanut butter cups in faded orange paper called 'Raj's Tajs' that are essentially chocolate covered peanut butter with 2 chocolate sticks coming up to look like the Taj Mahal. Yummy and delicious. He often jokes he doesn't wash his hands before making them to get the authentic Indian taj mahal taste but I would eat a pile of his shit to get one of Raj's Tajs.

As much as I love Reese's cups, CVS has store brand PB cups that have actual creamy PB instead of the sugary dry PB substitute that Reese's uses. So much better.

Wegmans brand whipped cream is better than Reddiwhip or any other name or store brand. Try it and you'll never go back. Or don't bc you'll never be able to enjoy any other canister whipped cream.

Oreos. They did such as good job at marketing that people think they're the original.

I'm not sure if you'd call it a direct ripoff of bueno, it's got the same hazelnut chocolate inside but it also has the puffed wheat, it's much better chocolate than bueno though and it's dirt cheap (local dollar store sells 2 of them for $1)

This isn't an off brand, but a local brand. Local to the Big Easy. Apparently no one else in this thread has had the opportunity to taste the greatest carbonated drink of all time: Big Shot Pineapple.

Store brand pop tarts (specifically market basket for new englanders) are often better. Look for ones with braided edges. So good.

Half of Faygo's lineup is disgusting and the other half is average at best.

Dollar General brand is the worst. It's the only soda that tastes better when warm.

Have you ever drank Blue Moon Mist, my man? The only truly, truly awful flavor from Faygo is Rock 'n' Rye, which is the most ungodly thing, I don't understand why people buy so much of it.

These have no right to taste as good as they do.

Probably because of more lax standards at the HEB plant and they just pour five times the amount of nacho powder in their bags than Doritos ever can.
