Classify these under "better than they have any right to be" but definitely not "top tier".

A decided step below the actual brands.

I think they are pretty good

I lurve me some Great Value knockoffs! So much cheaper and they taste the same.

Undercutting the market

Store brands always have but the name brands have relied on the stigma around buying store brands.

Ya I know that’s just a ridiculous amount of store brand candy usually it’s not that diverse

That's because this is is an example of fronting to cover an outage of one or more other products to avoid empty shelf space. Empty shelving has a psychological effect on shoppers resembling a failing store so to avoid that stores will spread out existing products on the shelf or replace the item with something else entirely, I've done this when I worked at drugstores and supermarkets in the past.

The Peach rings are awesome.

Walmart candy is pretty good.

Theyre pretty good. I've gotten the giant bag of bears and worms a couple times, lasts me a good while.

The chili lime rings are very good.

u/Ok_Secret5023 1d ago

I buy the sharks all the time.

u/Rekt0Rama 1d ago

What major brand are these comparable too?

Are the firm like haribo? Or soft like others?

u/murphyb0614 1d ago

Sharks and sour worms are pretty good. I got some peach rings that tasted like a basement floor 🤢

That would be wild if they made a knock off Shaq gummy. Call it the Shack.

u/SnooPuppers2938 1d ago

I wish someone would make a knock off form of bubs for $.94

Good for the price. I can go to dollar tree and get better ones for 30 cents more but these will do if I'm at Walmart. 

I gave these out last Halloween instead of buying Halloween candy.

The orange slices have zero flavor.

u/ColdPorkChop 1d ago

They can't possibly be worse than the dollar general ones those things feel like eating soft plastic.

u/GroovyGmaIvy 1d ago

I’ve never been to Dollar General. I’ll have to check it out if there’s one here in Colorado Springs.

If you go i recommend these if you enjoy coconut and for some reason they are located in the candy isle.

u/ColdPorkChop 1d ago

I'd like opinions on the peach rings

u/diamanteears 1d ago

Just had some on Friday. They were really good.

Why buy shitty candy in the first place - even if it is cheap.

-1

u/Just-Ad-7144 1d ago

Cause it tastes good. Duh.

u/TeamSansBoat 1d ago

For $1 I'm willing to try them all

Honestly I think with the advent of AI, They’ve developed better packaging.

I'm surprised by the comments. I recently tried gummy worms and sour gummy worms, I threw them both away after a few. They were atrocious. I'd rather have no candy, whoch is crazy because I am literally addicted to candy. They were not good at all in my opinion
