This made me laugh - now we know just who makes Aldi's

I haven't eaten Hula Hoops for ages and this has put me in the mood now.

Should I go to Tesco or Aldi ?

[Bazile]

I believe it's a similar thing with other products as well - for example TV's
Well known brands are made by a few manufacturers , and then labeled with the particular company's logo

This comment made me smile........

//The couple became even more suspicious about the mix up when they realised the ingredients and nutritional information on both crisp bags were almost identical.//


What, no fish or chicken in there?

[Bazile]

I'll try again , that didn't covey clearly what I'm trying to say .
There are only a few companies who make TV's - the components are mostly the same .
The finished TV's are then branded with the logo of the particular company

Go to both, wolf - do a taste test

Kellogg's proudly say they don't make cereal for anyone else.


That made me angry, when I discovered that my neighbour has some as well as me.

Lol Hopkirk. back to hula hoops I hadn't had any for years but tesco's promotion multi-pack last week were hula hoops selling at half price... I still have two packs left.

Quite 'orrible, aren't they, Ark?

[cupotee2]

A family member once worked in a food packing factory where one day they may be packing for M&S and another day some other big name..only the bags the good were packed in were different...contents exactly the same. This has been going on for years with many products.

[Arksided]

I find them quite tasty, I'meant that I only have two bags left.

Aldi's cheese and onion are the best cheese and onion ever

[hc4361]

I don't think Heinz cans tomato soup for anyone else - I've probably tried them all.

[Arksided]

Tesco home brands on some products are to me tastier than some branded names Findus and Birdeye springs to mind.

The pastry on Tesco's hot baked stuff a la Greggs is vile though. Cludgy and insipid. Greggs beat evveryone else hands down when it comes to a steak bake.
I do like ASDAs frozen mushroom risotto though. It's delicious.
I highly recommend Aldi's Moser Roth chocolate too.
