Default Brand name vs generic

Once, I bought the generic Acme creamcheese once and used a couple
tablespoons and it sat in the fridge wrapped correctly and in it's box
for a week. When I went to use it again, it was covered with blue-purple
mold. Philly creamcheese never did that.Gross. I'll never buy Acme
(Alberton's) generic brand anything ever again.

That's my take on that.

If my blood pressure prescribed medicine came in a generic, I'd jump on
it and just as usual test my BP and see if it holds steady. That's a
quality control issue, I'd say.
