Bought the cheap store brand ketchup to save $2 and now I'm rethinking my whole life
I was at the Safeway on Broadway last Tuesday and grabbed their generic ketchup because the Heinz was almost $6. Figured ketchup is ketchup, right? Wrong. Took one bite of my burger at home and it tasted weirdly sweet with a hint of metal. Now I'm sitting here wondering how many other store brand things I've been lying to myself about. Has anyone else been burned by a supposedly harmless swap like this?

Three words: store brand peanut butter. Tasted like paste mixed with sadness. Now I stick to a short list of stuff I'll buy generic for (paper towels, salt, bleach) and never gamble on condiments again.

Is it weird that I kinda liked the gritty texture though?
