I think DH thinks I'm weird that it has to be Heinz. He doesn't like ketchup so I'm the only one who eats it. Bounty paper towels. It HAS to be Bounty. I didn't realize how much it mattered until we bought some cheap ones. Some generic chip brands can be really gross. We had a potluck once and the person who brought chips bought Dollarama brand stuff. It was gross. Tasted like pure butter to me with no flavour or salt. keepcalmcarrie on "Which name brand items do you INSIST on buying over generic?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-name-brand-items-do-you-insist-on-buying-over-generic/page/2#post-2085162 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 14:25:46 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2085162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsS_Alpha: Oh yesss, all other cream cheese is just super gross and disappointing.
