yeah but when they change the label...they bring on the culls.

ever found a piece of cob in a can of corn?
ever notice peas are not uniform in size or color?
notice there are fewer cherries in generic fruit coctail?
ever get an "eye" in a can of potatoes?

or a finger in a can of chili...heh heh

the same packing facililty does not mean you get the same ingredients.

If I owned a corn farm and packing plant. I would sell my best corn
under the big company farm label...but what to do with all this odd
sized, odd colored corn? I sell it to another company, I will pack it
for them; but why oh why would I fill their cans with a product that is
the same as mine, this would hurt my big company label.

If there was such a thing as generic lumber (as in wood) we call that
seconds.

when things go on sale, it's good to stock the pantry
and coupons are nice too
