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.

Has anyone noticed that the ICE goons dress like the terrorists from counterstrike?

Starting to look like it.

(But really, people need to stop this crap. You have masked goons grabbing people on the streets there is no reason to try and reason the lack of law. If they want to nail you they will, and having the “but look at what she was wearing” at this stage is pathetic.)

… bad news there.

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).

This is why I use Keyhut for my POS. FUCK THE NEW SHIT!

Neat, kinda reminded me of the book Service Model.

We former colonies know how to make a sexy looking store brand.

Hmmm, I would buy the shit out of that aesthetic.

Yeah, that one is odd. Some have a band of colour though. I think its when there are flavours.

Or in real life, today if you want

Loblaws does. That includes no frills, Zehrs, Real Canadian super store, Dominion, Maxi, T & T, Wholesale Club and many others.

You would be hard pressed not to find no name. YAY 3 WAY MONOPOLY ON FOOD!

Yeah, no one could like that. Not like there is a whole set of us that basically live off the stuff or anything…

Wait, this is the fabled “I’m pre-vegan” gloat? I did not think I would ever see it.

Well not cause it, but certainly made it worse.

Ok, so not at all boring. I have no idea why you think this fits here. It feels, dirty.

I get this is to get sympathy for an attack but in this case (unlike Ukraine) israel is not some victim of another nations aggression. I don’t think the fact that this family came to israel in Dec 2022 (just before the full russian invasion) helps the idea that these casualties are somehow worse. This is propaganda from a clearly pro israel news site, and I feel wrong that they are using the bodies of this family as such.

Stupid knock off cancer dust.

I think my favourite part is that it was banned in the us in 1989 but then unbanned in 1991 after a fight in the court of appeals.

Oh and there are still some asbestos uses allowed (cement sheets, industrial diaphragms, etc.) but the us is not unique in this.

Same as many other trump voters, pure disillusion and desperation with the status quo. They buy the lie instead.
