On a different twist, there are food products that are the same thing but has additional ingredients, like a Hershey bar, a Mr Goodbar is a Hershey bar with peanuts, krackel is a hershey bar with rice, etc. think Milky Way and Snickers are the same thing with exception Snickers has nuts..

Cereal is similar, Kelloggs Froot Loops and Apple Jacks are the same thing different flavor, General Mill's Kix, Trix and Cocoa Puffs are the same shape as well different flavor. Not including Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes, Rice and Cocoa Krispies, etc which are billed as same product different flavor, Mounds and Almond Joy are the same thing one has nuts.

Now i am craving chocolate with nuts  :D 

If one does the research, it can all be traced back to huge parent conglomerates which own the companies making brand names and store brands, all using the same base ingredients but tweaked to cater to different tastes.

Is also the same with stores, for example in US, you have Aldi's, which is a Dutch company. In Netherlands the stores are much different than in the states. They are more like a department store in Netherlands and of course sell brands not found in the states.  There are also in Europe the British Primark stores which are different in each country where they exist but also basically the same. They launched some stores in the US, in the New England states which i here are really coming for the Walmart stores there. Will likely be Primark stores all over the US in about a decade.
Blessed are those that believe in what is best for them, for never shall their minds be terrorized.
