    I have relatives who are farmers. When we go there the stuff grown by them and their neighbours beats anything you can buy anywhere hands down.

    Was thinking the same. Note that the expression doesn't occur in the actual article, so it's probably msmanishbeau's attempt to say "common or garden", which doesn't particularly fit anyway.

    Sometimes cheaper foods have more salt, sugar, or processing that makes them taste better in a blind taste test, but may not be as healthy.

    And sometimes processed shit with a fancy label is no different from own-brand processed shit.

    I am not sure the test you mentioned would really counter their argument for a heavier price tag.

    That's because you're the kind of ponce who'd pay ten bucks for a pound of rice if it was watered by the bollock-sweat of buddhist monks.

    There's a TV show in Britain called http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/prog... . They take a family and swap some of their expensive brands for generic articles (and disguise the packaging so they can't see). A lot of the time they actually prefer the cheaper stuff, at least when they don't know about it.

    A truck full of junk mail, at 13 cents a piece, uses the same amount of fuel, and the driver gets paid the same wages, as a truck full of first class mail at 49 cents a piece.

    Unless they're refusing the first class mail in order to take the junk that's largely irrelevant. And what if the truck is only half full?

    There's a name for it: overhead contribution.
