Can't stand off brand

[yne721 10+ year member]

I can't stand off brand food products. Mainly i've only come across this problem with stuff that comes in bags in boxes(i.e cereal, crackers, cookies)

it it's like they use super glue to glue the bags shut, because everytime you try to open the bag, no matter how neatly you try to do it, you always tear the hell out of the bag, then you try to pour the cereal out of the box, but then when you stop pouring all the cereal just gets stuck inbetween the bag and the box. Either that or when you DO tear open the bag, the cereal flies everywhere. Anybody else ever experience this? I just had to let off some steam after cleaning up all the 'cheerios' that fell on the floor.

If your "generic cereal" is in a box, then you don't truly have ghetto cereal. HUGE BAGS OF IMITATION COCOA PEBBLES FTW!! They have an easy rip-off top and the bag is sealed up like a ziploc under the rip-off. If you have the coordination of a 2yr old you can successfully open and re-use one of those.

As for other generics... I think the worst I've had is generic shells and cheese.... the cheese tastes like it's been fermenting in a goat's *** for the last hundred years. It's less than delicious.

My roomate, however, FEEDS off generic crap. Generic spaghetti-os... pastas, bag pastas, rice, ramen, bread, juice mix (kool-aid/lemonade).. it's nasty. That and usually he just opens the top of the can and eats it cold out of the can.... so nasty.

The funniest part is he's makin over $60k a year and he still does this just like when we were freshman in college lol...

Dont buy generic then. Get the name brands and have the same problem. Then you could go shit, Should have gotten the generic and you can go back and forth like that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Generic is fine for me for 99% of products. It's mostly buying an image and a name since usually the quality of the name brand is so heinously crappy and sketchy to begin with.
