You guys buy branded ketchup? Its Aldis store brand or nothing for me.

I buy Hela ketchup at Aldi, so I guess it's their store brand? Definitely cheap.

Heinz > Store brand > Hunts, i buy generic mustard and everything else unless there’s a good sale.

Hunts truly is garbage tier.

It's a bit of a long drive to Aldis for some of us, I don't know which country the closest one is in. Most people probably just buy what they grew up on. For me that's Felix so I guess you could say it's European, but Orkla is publicly traded so it sorta loses all meaning.

I only buy fancy shit now and just eat less of it, like stokes and a couple of local ones.

All that own brand stuff is just tomato juice concentrate with a load of thickening agents plus sugar and crap to make it taste like something. And Heinz was always overly sweet crap anyway.
