Great value brand @ wal-mart
    #14453116 - 05/14/11 07:25 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I remember a time when buying these cheaper alternatives you'd usually taste no difference. I've recently just had bad experience after another concerning any of their food they offer. Their cheese crackers taste like shit, all their cereal, they can't even get the fuck popsicle right it taste like shit and the orange almost taste poisonious! I got alittle freaked out after licking one last night thinking maybe there was poison in it, doesn't taste right at all :frown:

Great Value

Great Value was launched in 1993 and forms the second tier, or national brand equivalent ("NBE"), of Walmart's grocery branding strategy.[2]

Products offered at Walmart through the Great Value brand are claimed to be as good as national brand offerings, but are typically sold at a lower price because of minimal marketing and advertising expense. As a house or generic brand, the Great Value line does not consist of goods produced by Walmart, but is a labeling system for items manufactured and packaged by a number of agricultural and food corporations, such as ConAgra, Sara Lee which, in addition to releasing products under its own brands and exclusively for Walmart, also manufactures and brands foodstuffs for a variety of other chain stores. Often this labeling system, to the dismay of consumers, does not list location of manufacture of the product. Wal-Mart contends that all Great Value products are produced in the United States otherwise the country of origin would be listed.

As Walmart's most extensively developed retail brand, covering hundreds of household consumable items, the Great Value line includes sliced bread, frozen vegetables, frozen dinners, canned foods, light bulbs, trash bags, buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon rolls, pies and many other traditional grocery store products. The wide range of items marketed under the Great Value banner makes it Walmart's top-selling retail brand.

The Great Value brand can also be seen in Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Brazil and some Trust Mart stores in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China through a partnership with Walmart. Bharti EasyDay retail grocery stores sell Great Value brand products in India as well.

By mid-summer 2009, Walmart had redesigned the Great Value labels to be predominantly white. The new redesign also includes over 80 new items including thin crust pizza, fat free caramel swirl ice cream, strawberry yogurt, organic cage-free eggs, double stuffed sandwich cookies, and teriyaki beef jerky. Walmart changed the formulas for 750 items including: breakfast cereal, cookies, yogurt, laundry detergent, and paper towels. The new brand was tested by over 2,700 people.[3] Other retailers are following suit with their private label packaging as well.


"So in reality store brands are made by the same companies that make name brands."

the placebo effect is a wild one, I think we can all agree, sometimes I ask myself why. but I think it makes just as much sense in this context. Do people just think a product tastes or feels or seems different just cause at first glance they are givin a different presentation? The mind is a powerful thing, if you first see something and immediately think meh its going to suck, chances are its going to suck.

I always give the generic a go and find often it is ok. I really buy ingredients and make my own stuff but the cookies and other processed crap tastes the same to me great value or not most of the time. Some things I think are better and some worse but its per each product.

The oreos have a lard aftertaste that coats your entire mouth.
