Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've noticed that, especially at value chains like Aldi or Save a Lot. Cheerios boxes are a good example of this. I'm sure there are strict, carefully-worded agreements in place that benefit all parties fairly to allow these products to look so much like the "national" brands.

They make deals with the number 1 in the market to produce them that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It's kind of funny that this is happening while one of Wendy's big TV ads right now has a guy confuse what he thinks is a small pub's burger with a Wendy's pretzel burger. http://youtu.be/FsKg7gxxFYQ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ugh, I hate Commercials. Of course he confused that massive and well put together Burger in her hands with something from a real restaurant. Everyone knows that a Burger from Wendy's is a flat thrown together mess. Subway is the worst at this type of legal False Advertisement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
