q-tips. The constitution of the stick is such that I can bear down at all the necessary angles while the cotton allows me to spin furiously without unwinding deep in my ear which would require surgical removal. Dang near had surgery to get an off brand chuck of cotton off my ear drum many years ago.

I have preferred brands for most things, but here’s what I’m most picky about if I’m spending my money

Mayonnaise- Blueplate
Beer- Bud Light
Crab boil- Zatarains liquid
Coffee- community

Ground Black Pepper. McCormick is finer, thus mitigating the risk of getting multiple large flakes in your teeth.


On the other side of this, a couple things that I’ve found to be excellent value relative to the name brand products are Great Value pistachios and granola bars.

Listerine


Why?


Because of the gum disease known as GIN-GI-VITAS. It says right there on the bottle that the formula is not sold as a store brand.

Toilet paper. Bought some off brand stuff one time and it took my arse 2 weeks to recover.

Interesting. The HEB brand I get seemingly has the same ingredients.

they actually have some good products, and make a lot of it as well(as opposed to subbing out manufacturing of it)

Try some gorilla tape. Duct tape is like scotch tape compared to it.

At the farm one time I could not find a gas can to take some fuel to a friend whose UTV ran out of gas. Found a 5 gallon bucket that had a hole in the side. I slapped a piece of gorilla tape on it and it held for the 10 minutes it took to get to him.

LOL
