    Seeing how surprised Shane is by store brands, everyone's like "oh that proves he's been cosplaying as a poor person this whole time" but it's deeper than that. Him being so shocked makes it seem like he's literally never been in a grocery store.

      They definitely get all their groceries delivered lol you could tell even when ryland says carrying all their groceries through the rain to their car was a “humbling experience” like jfc these people are definitely living in a bubble. I’m pretty sure they themselves have even talked about how they get all their stuff delivered too

      ​@@poopoopeepee318 the fact that he got the animal crackers on Amazon really says it all. He was already going to go to all these grocery stores for the video, but it's just easier and more convenient to have the carbon footprint of yet another single item being (probably next-day) delivered. I also can be part of this problem, and I'm trying to make sure I am at least somewhat sustainable, but this is just absurd.

      To be fair - and I hate to do it when it comes to Shane - at least in the way the video is edited he seems to be talking specifically about the animal crackers that are literally using the same shapes as the original brand. Usually generics won't go that far and I wouldn't be surprise if Trader Joe's got in trouble for it.

      @@gilbert4394 But that doesn't make any sense either. Food scarcity, cost of transport, area cost of living, etc. can make the same product vary wildly in price depending on where you buy it.
      Even if we're talking generic vs. name brand, the same product isn't necessarily the same product. Aldi's might have different quality control requirements than Kellogg's.
      You get the guarantee that what you're buying will taste how you expect it to. Dr. Thunder is not going to taste like Dr. Pepper. Most generic diet root beers have an extra herbal taste that A&W doesn't have.
      You're also less likely to find promotions, coupons, and deals for generic products which can make them cheaper than the other versions which don't go on sale as often.

      I’d like to add on that at first glance, that theory is very slightly believable. But if you think about it for like,, 3 seconds it’s not hard to realize that the pizza is just cut by a teenager and/or someone who just doesn’t care or wasn’t trained properly, so of course it’s not gonna look right.

    So one time Shane was reviewing a video that “proved we lived in a simulation” in a conspiracy video. This was also the last Shane Dawson video I ever watched cuz it annoyed me that much. It was a video of someone on a train filming a bird that was stationary in the air. That apparently proved everything as it was “the earth glitching”. I’m a paranoid person at the best of times. But oh my god that is just proof of a lack of understanding. I tried to talk to my friends about it and THEY ALL BELIEVED IT TOO.

At one point though those companies noticed that people might not have been buying their products because of the price, so instead of lowering them as a whole they created a new brand that was cheaper as a ploy to not only get lower income people to buy their product but also raise the worth of their name brand products, which are the same as the generic brand. They're making extra money off tricking people. Even if they were forced into this position it still says a lot about the priorities of the food industry in the US.

They laughed, put the shoes back, and left the store.

And also there are strategies, cheaper less known brands pretend to sell more and make less per unit sold, while others might want to sell less but having a higher profit per unit.

    Wow, them making fun of the toaster tarts really gave off the same energy that elementary schoolers would give when making fun of someone for having off-brand snacks and stuff.
    also, as someone who works in a grocery store, not having service or good wifi is a super common occurrence. it's just because there's a ton of people in there and a lot of other technology that slows it down

    there's something very classist about how offended Ryland is when he realizes that he buys generic brand products (and Shane, too, but I'm pretty sure he's acting more surprised than he is. like, he knows this is not new but he either thinks his audience is stupid or he's really grasping at straws because he has no ideas)

      Yeah, why are they acting like Trader Joe's is an exclusive club or thing that only exists in rich parts of Los Angeles? Everyone has heard of it and likes it. It isn't high brow. It's not Erewhon or even Whole Foods. Trader Joe's sells things cheaper because they use this business strategy. I really thought this was a thing everyone knew (everyone does) and they're just acting like this is a bizarre and foreign concept.

    I'm confused, does Shane think all store brands are just name brand products in a different package? They can be sometimes but we've all had a store brand something that is clearly not the same. In fact most of the time it's not the same. Also, sometimes the store brand happens to be better lol

    This just came to my mind, but Matpat from Game Theory actually came out to disprove the Chuck E. Cheese thing. He even tested it out across multiple restaurants and came to the conclusion that they look like that because it’s cheap pizza cut with a dull rocking knife. The funniest part of the whole thing is that he refused to say Shane's name out loud, as though just mentioning him might get him demonetized 😅😅😅.

    • @aquarina715

      What's more, Matpat tested it out during lockdown when the restaurants were only doing take out and there literally were no leftovers to use, and the pizzas came out the same.
      Shane's theory was pure bs.

    his conspiracies always felt like he heard a random rumor and thought it was more important than it was. "theres a conspiracy that if you eat beans they make you toot. there is even a children's rhyme calling them 'the musical fruit'! They arent shown that way in grocery stores, so today we eat some beans to see if the conspiracy is true!"

    He didn’t even touch what I feel is the most problematic part of private labeling, which is big stores rebranding or renaming products so that it’s harder to compare prices. Wayfair and Overstock do this on everything. Or like how Home Depot and Lowe’s have big manufacturers use different product numbers for the same items, so it’s harder to cross-shop.
    Even those aren’t conspiracies either, but they are much more anti-consumer than anything in Shane’s video… SMH
