Hmmm chocolate.....

 

Righto, I'd like to let you know that I decided to try Morrisons own 'Value' Fruit & Nut milk chocolate, and It's quite nice actually. It's in purposely designed bright yellow packaging to make you feel like a scruff when you buy it though.

I swear some of the branding on No Frillls Value stuff is to upsell snobs to branded stuff.

Roses are bollocks, Violets are crud, I hate bloody flowers, And much prefer mud.

damn right, my daughter won't buy any 'blue stripe' stuff in Tesco - despite me preferring the taste of their lemonade to any other

hahaha, yes, it's the 'stigma' in the shop that bothers her - which I think they intend (to a certain extent)

That's exactly what it's for. I read about it the other year, it's so supermarkets can sell the 'same' product to people of different incomes and charge richer people more money for essential the same thing.

 

i.e. premium sausages, they can rip off snobby people and get them to pay more for the sausages if they're called primium and in fancy packaging, but they know that if that was all they sold they'd alienate a large percentage of ther potential customers who couldn't/wouldn't pay the higher prices. So they have the cheaper products which are essentially the same thing, but they put them in packinging that screams cheap and nasty to stop the snobby people from paying too little.

Well, I'm pretty sure the Premium and Value sausages aren't the same.

I thought that too. There is a definite difference between some, maybe not compared to the difference in price though. With some products the difference in quality is certainly not that much.

My sister works in the prawn industry (no John), and they have different specifications (size, quality, colour consistency, etc) for the different levels of packs they produce for the supermarkets. In the past, she worked as a quality tester, testing bananas (no John), and melons (no John). If she worked in a sausage factory (no John), I'm sure she'd be able to sort you out (no John).

How does one tell the difference in quality from one prawn to another?

 

Would one check for buck teeth, myopia, varicose veins, that sort o' thing?

I think "level of chewy bits" is an important factor to consider here.

I think it's mostly done on basic literacy and religious beliefs.

Oh, poor naive Science-Boff.

Sausages very much == their packaging.

Correct, but that's mostly an aesthetic difference.

 

There is a difference in the ingredients, the ratio and quality of meat to other bits, etc. Please don't start the "what should actually go into sausages" thing again :C
