Default Difference In Cream Cheese Brands?

I quit buying Kraft Philadelphia Brand cream cheese when I realized that
Safeway's Lucerne brand and the Kroger brand were just as good, both in
flavor and texture. The did try Walmart's brand one time, but found it a
really disgusting product. I will never try it again.
