What's a famous food brand that is more popular than its competitors but inferiour in quality?


  1. Starbucks Coffee.

  2. DiGiorno's Frozen Pizza. I don't often eat frozen pizza but I've nearly always found theirs to be disappointing. Red baron is better and often cheaper. If you don't mind spending a bit more, Screamin' Sicilian is one of the better options..

  3. Kroger carbonated waters are better than La Croix.

  4. If liquor counts as food then Jose Cuervo Especial. It’s the most popular “tequila” in the US but it’s not even really tequila as defined by Mexican law. It’s only 51% blue agave liquor and the rest is basically grain alcohol. I think this is why a lot of people don’t like tequila or think it causes headaches. It’s cause they’re drinking this pissy mixto bullshit.

  5. Pretty much any brand of rice. Especially those gross ones like Uncle Ben's and Minute Rice. Give me the sack of basmati that I can't read because it's written in Thai or Hindi or something.

  6. Almost all of them. As I've gotten older I've noticed that popularity is driven more by cost than by quality.

  7. Cheetos are inferior to Barbara's Original Cheese Puffs. Barbara's Cheese Puffs are an "all natural" knock-off of Cheetos, but they add a little bit of bleu cheese to the powdered cheese coating. The result is a hint of bitterness that makes you want to never stop shoving them in your feedhole. Barbara's are the best. I don't meant their the best "all natural" cheese puff, or the best cheese puff you can buy at Whole Foods, they are the best cheese puff. Full stop. Regardless of your Cheetos preference, you gotta get the Original puffy Cheese Puff. Barbara's Crunchy Cheese Puffs are good, but they're not the best.

  9. Panda Express. Local Chinese foods are way better.

  10. Not necessarily inferior in quality, but most breakfast cereals with a generic counterpart are made in the same facility on the same machines and are just packaged differently.
