One thing to consider about store brands is that the stores don't make the
stuff. They get it from the major suppliers who just take a run of the
product and package it with the store brand label. There is a good chance
that the store brand cream cheese and the Philadelphia cream cheese were
made in the same place with the same recipe and process. That being said, I
have a hard time accepting that the Kraft version of anything would be the
superior product.
