Yeah, no one could like that. Not like there is a whole set of us that basically live off the stuff or anything.......
I am unreasonably upset by the chips bag having a picture and a splash of non-yellow on it.
Yeah, that one is odd. Some have a band of colour though. I think its when there are flavours.
The US doesn't seem to do this much to my irritation when I visited but pretty much every other country the crisps are colour-coded for flavour although there seems to be no international consistency on this.
For example at least in the UK blue means cheese and onion (and therefore disgusting), red means salt, green means salt and vinegar, and pink means prawn cocktail.
Australia has black & gold but it is a generic brand, mixed in with all the others.
We former colonies know how to make a sexy looking store brand.
I like the Canadian one better. If its going to be simple then be simple.
I'm assuming the contents are all unremarkable commodities.
Interestingly I (and many others) have noticed that the no name (and other store brands) are often better then the "name" brand stuff.
For example I would say KD is worse then store brand, and the store brand crackers are waaaay better then the name brand now (they seem to now over toast them).
Perhaps they're not as up to date with their enshitification.
Maybe, I also talked years ago to some people higher up at loblaws (at their regional HQ for work) and asked about no name and presidents choice and I was lead to believe a lot of work goes into making the product good. They also talked about how they make more on the store brand and see this as an opportunity to push more people to their stuff. I don't think anyone really likes the big brands these days.
