Same watery crap that gives you a blinding hangover that makes even your hair hurt. I was in the US in September and went to a bar that only had the domestic crap like Bud and Miller on draught. I settled on a Bud and it just reminded me of how low my standards were when I used to live there. Like you said AB just seem to sponsor everything and get the masses to drink their piss. Bud and Coors are the McDonalds / BK of the beer world.

Gillette even make these but don't advertise that at all. Why advertise packs of blades at 5 cent a blade when you can sell your other advanced blades at 18 euro a pack

These days the trick is to check the label to see where they've been made. Turkish and Japanese are still nice quality(though the latter are pricey and you have to get them online). American ones can be good depending on model. The ones from Pakistan, Vietnam, China and the like are pure dirt and that's what tends to be on shop shelves in this neck of the woods. .

Capt. Autumn wrote: » Heinz I recently dined on that peasant evening snack of choice, beans on toast. I was disappointed with how it tasted. I looked down at the plate, dismayed to see the beans looking sadly up at me in a watery insipid sauce. They tasted bland as well. 'How many times have I told herself not to be buying the cheap Lidl or Aldi beans', says I to myself when I stopped short at the empty can on the kitchen bench. They were not a German discount half-price rip-off. They were Heinz, they of the holy grail of tomato ketchup. Fast forward to yesterday. I scoffed at the Batts 'organic' tomato sauce that was purchased in Lidl. I tasted it and was blown away, just the right consistency tasting quite startlingly at first, of cloves (the standard ketchup spice) and garlic, before something hot and peppery chimes in, cayenne perhaps, to leave your tongue tingling gently. It is beautiful on the tongue with looks to match thick and creamy and bright red. I searched in the cupboard and found a bottle of Supervalu own label ketchup and Heinz ketchup, the supposed market leader and did a blind taste test with all the members of my incarcerated household. Batts came tops with everyone. Heinz came last. What has happened Heinz?

Over the year I have tried many own brands, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsburys, Tesco etc and can't get a corn flake that I like. I'd rather pay the money for Kelloggs every time. They are often on special offer and I tend to stock up then.
EmmetSpiceland wrote: » The Tesco “imitation” crunchy nut cornflakes aren’t bad, definitely the best of a “bad bunch”. The Aldi/Lidl one is terrible, they seem to use little clumps of that “artificial” sweetener auld ones used to put in their tea, or coffee, on the flakes instead of nut. Very disappointing.
