I don't mind brined chicken or turkeys as long as they're reasonably
priced (Turkeys will be $.19/lb this Thanksgiving - with $25
purchase).

I've never bought any pre-brined pork so I can't comment on it.

Most people, I suspect, would prefer to brine their own with the
flavors they want rather than the chemicals that the factory uses.
