For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you

Dr. Bronners liquid Castille soap. I've tried others but they are not as concentrated or as moisturizing. Great diluted for shaving legs.

Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste. I've reversed three cavities that were forming by using this toothpaste.

Persil detergent. I use other detergents but always have this on deck for tough stains or funky items.

Jockey women's cotton underwear. There's a specific cut that they have that's flattering and comfortable.

Mortons salt. Somehow that little metal spout is just worse in every store brand I've tried.

This has become a rarity for me but I don't like any french onion dip other than Dean's French onion dip.

I don't eat it very often because my tastes have changed but if I had to go to the store and buy some right now if they didn't have deans I wouldn't get it.

Bahlsen Schoko-leibniz. The store brand ones don't have nearly as nice chocolate.

Conversely, after eights are garbage and the supermarket version comes with nicely tempered chocolate that does a very satisfying crackle when you bite.

Off brand Bagel Bites are a big nope for me.

I've tried a lot of generic ibuprofen meds (E: including gel ones) but nothing acts both as fast and effectively as advil gel pills. It very well may be a placebo, but I don't really care so long as it works.

Milk. Great Value’s brand just tastes so darned awful for some reason I can’t place. I live in the midwest, and Prairie Farms is pretty common as a brand here.

There are some others, many dairy products now that I think about it, but there’s also some medicines like Mucinex which I prefer to use over generic brands. I’m otherwise not very picky.

Coffee and tea. Otherwise I always buy store brand because it comes from the same factory.

Used to be 3M duck tape. But that has totally gone to shit.

Clancy’s Cheese Curls. I dislike all other brands of cheese curls.
