Dr. Perky is the petite blonde doctor that throws open the shades in your room suddenly while you're trying to sleep after surgery to fix all your bones after a huge car accident, saying "WAKEY WAKEY! GOOD NEWS, BUDDY, WE FIXED YOUR BONES, AND WE FOUND A BUNCH OF CANCER YOU WEREN'T AWARE OF!"

Yeah but quality varies quite a bit. Some stuff is indistinguishable from the name brand, and others are just a pale imitation.

My wife worked for a food company, and stuff they'd sell under their own brand and stuff they sold to other companies as generics came off the exact same production line.

Ed: As to why they do it, it's all about economy of scale. They can make far more than what they can sell under their own brand. Making extra as generic reduces the unit cost, so they make more money on their own, as well as what they sell to the generic seller.

There tends not to be a lot of overlap between people who buy by brand and people who buy by price, so the company doesn't cannibalize it own sales much, and sells more and makes more money overall by supplying the generic market.

I once had a summer job at a crisps factory and they just had conveyor belts with holes in them. Top one has the largest crisps and goes to the brand name bagging station, the smaller broken ones went into the Pirato bags, which was sold at Aldi at the time.

My friend works for a chip company here in Ohio and they make their own brand, Giant Eagle, Sams Choice, Frito Lay and Jimmy Johns chips. Probably some others but those are the only ones I know of for sure.

Surprisingly, Aldi has off-brand stuff for Fruity Pebbles and it's WAY better than the original. You open the bag and can smell it from like 50 feet away, and it tastes amazing. Sometimes you luck out depending on where you go, it's pretty rad.

This is especially true of store brands. Other times the multiple brands are all not only produced by the same company but owned by the same company. Dean Foods owns a massive chunk of the dairy industry and you'll see entire dairy sections with a dozen brands that are all Dean. Otherwise the beverage industry is in the U.S., even down to juice, is owned by Pepsi and Coke.
