    I think the biggest difference between these is that the name-brand bars are fresher than the Walmart ones. let's face it, Wally-World keeps most things in storage for t least 6 months before shipping them to stores. That's how they save money.

    • @chrissandoval7675

      I think you're right. The nougat gets stale faster than caramel and chocolate. Since NOBODY buys budget chocolate it sits on the shelf forever. Hence the Milky Way and the Three Musketeers copies being a lot worse then the other copies/originals.

      Best chips I ever had are Golden Flake. They are a true southern chip made in Alabama. There aren't many places that sell them but I can find them at my local small town grocery store and also sometimes at Dollar General if they're not sold out.

    I don't know Matt... I used to work in a pork and bean factory. The ONLY difference in the 3 different 'brands' we shipped was the label. I know this for an absolute fact. The colorful glossy label brand at that time sold 3 cans for a dollar. The colorful matt finish label sold 4 cans for a dollar. The white label with simple black letters sold 5 cans for a dollar. ABSOLUTELY the exact same product inside.

  • @sidekickz2180
    @sidekickz2180 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My boss used to work at a factory that knitted clothing. The finely-tuned machines ran at a certain speed... until Wal-Mart placed orders.
    In that case, the machines would be sped up (to match the huge orders). Thus, quality and quality control would be sacrificed.
    This is why you'll often hear "I hear Great Value is made in the same factory as...." because the items ARE. But quality is sacrificed

    Might want to let your graphics department know the logo they used for KitKat was the Nestle version, which is typical for most countries. But, in the US, KitKat is made and sold by Hershey's. So, unless your KitKat was also imported from Turkey, then you had a Hershey's brand KitKat.

    That is the ingredients for the Walmart version of Kit Kat. Indeed, it says Distributed by Walmart, Bentonville (or whatever), AR 72716. Product of Turkey.
