A lot of store brands are made by the nationally known large companies. It’s not like the grocery store has its own factories. So the national company may profit just the same.
I never liked Oreos. The black cookies don’t even taste like chocolate, and the white stuff in the middle is just powdered sugar mixed with lard. So now they will throw in some food coloring and some artificial flavoring, but it’s still the same old nasty Oreos. Ugh.
Even so, they probably don’t make as much on the store-brand stuff they manufacture.
Excellent idea. How about bacon flavor? Everything is better with bacon.
The key to successful competition in such foodstuffs is to invent so many variants on a basic theme that no potential new competitors will be able to be provided shelf space. Quaker oats and Malt-O-Meal cereals play this game quite successfully .
