We got wondering over the weekend, is there a situation where you will only buy the name brand of something and absolutely never the generic?
JStew: It s funny, I m usually the guy that s barking in some corner about the fact that people blow their hard earned money on the name brand, when the generic is usually just as good. Sometimes though, it just isn t the case. For instance, I started getting the off-brand toothbrush heads for my electric toothbrush. Not a good idea. In the time it usually takes to go through one or two of the name brand ones, I went through a whole package of them from one of the big box stores. For that matter, same deal with the same box store s dental floss. Total garbage. And drumsticks... oh boy. I never, ever, ever buy the cheap ones of those. I go through twice as many in half the time. No bueno..
