I was once on a camping trip where some house brand canned baked beans were
purchased. After they were dumped into the kettle to be heated, one person
took his Swiss Army knife and carefully sliced the label. He pulled it back
and there was an S&W label underneath! I was rather astounded, but he
asserted that this happens all the time - "they" just take existing brand name
cans and cover them with the generic-name-of-the-day label.
