Overseas, fake Communist Chinese Saltines are sold. Didn’t read the package. F-ing nasty and no taste.

I meant to say that those were two different companies and that Nabisco(?) stole the idea to create Oreo’s.

And no artificial food coloring. I prefer Clancy’s snack foods. But when I brought home a multipack of chips from Walmart, my 9 year old was on cloud nine, “you bought name brand chips that aren’t Clancy’s?!?!”

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago, but of course, my childhood is lost in the dim mists of antiquity now...

Yep. I win bets knowing that little nugget. I used to sell hardware to the Jays factory in Chicago.

Dr. Pepper

No such product as Dr. Pepper. It doesn't exist.

Maybe they were thinking of Dr Pepper and fat fingered their keyboard.

Never seen any of these

Clancy's is an Aldi store brand. Try slumming over to the poor side of town sometime. Bring a quarter for the buggy. The chips are pretty good. The yogurt isn't. The baked beans were also bad, but last time I was there, they were stocking Bush's.

"Fake Lays You Probably Never Heard of"

You pay them to go away afterwards...You don't want to hear from them; that's the point!

This has been going on forever.

In the 1890’s C.W.Post spent time at the Battle Creek Sanitarium run by Dr John Kellogg. Dr Kellogg served the patients several varieties of granola produced in the sanitarium kitchen.
Working in the kitchen one day Post copied several recipes from W K Kelloggs desk.
When post checked out of the sanitarium he took with him the recipes for Post Postum, Grape Nuts and Post Toasties.

As John Kellogg owned the sanitarium he forbade W K from producing and retailing any of their cereals. For several years Post had the cereal market to himself until W K Kellogg took his brother to court and won the rights to the recipes and the Kellogg name.

Before modern refrigeration meat had to be bought daily and could still taste terrible by meal time. People used all manner of sauces and toppings to mask the taste of the “off” meat.
Enter the twice failed H J Heinz.
The first successful Heinz product was a tomato catsup.
Heinz had quite the problem with people attempting to copy everything from his product to his logo.
As most glass bottles of the day were dark, because clear glass was more expensive, and ingredient labeling was farcical at best. Consumers had no idea what they were buying.
That didn’t set well with Heinz. He demanded top quality and stringent sanitation in his operation.
To set his product apart from all others he put his product in the more expensive clear bottles and bought out every clear bottle of that size in the country.
Henry Heinz was instrumental in getting the first food sanitary and labeling laws passed.
