Ok, I hate to spin this again, but this is conclusive proof!

I was visiting a friend who introduced me to one her their friends...

We got on the subject of Ensure and other dietary supplements, come to
find out the man works at a packaging plant, they actually bottle or
package Ensure...

they also package the CVS brand of dietary supplement. He told me face
to face, it is the same exact ingredients...nothing changes but the
packaging. The packaging is alot cheaper. we talked about just how
cheap the packaging is for the CVS version of ensure...

But please, no gloating. hehe

Im confused now, I would just die if I opened a can of beans and they
didn't all match!
