I don’t know that they’re more evil than Walmart. I think that’s probably not right but I don’t know enough to say for sure. They’ve just kinda, taken over. I’ll put it this way, I much prefer Atlantic Superstore (Loblaws) to Walmart (which I won’t even set foot in)
There was a UK brand that do the same thing although it is black text on a white background and they do have a thin blue line as well, for extra excitement.
It’s incredibly cheap stuff and not quality at all, but I suppose it is good if you want to save money. I do enjoy that a bottle of their vodka is just labelled “alcohol”.
The US did this for a while from the later 70s until the mid 80s. White-label packaging, with just the name of the foodstuff or item printed on it, in its own separate aisle. Most of these evolved later on into store brands.
The reason they said Canada is because we have a brand here called No Name in yellow packaging doing that exact thing. It’s Loblaw’s store brand.
I was going to say doesn’t this already exist in Canada? LoL
Also isn’t Loblaw’s unbelievably horrible? Like even more evil than Walmart?

That’s called a monopoly.
😅It is, isn’t it!
Though I will say smaller groceries and type-specific groceries are aliving, thriving, and cheaper here in Nova Scotia
Mandatory fuck Loblaws and Weston Galen. Fuck Jim Pattison too while we’re at it.
YEAH!! WOOHOO!

Even into the 90s! I remember Albertson’s had that stuff back then.
And no frills sells mainly that brand
Loblaws does. That includes no frills, Zehrs, Real Canadian super store, Dominion, Maxi, T & T, Wholesale Club and many others.
You would be hard pressed not to find no name. YAY 3 WAY MONOPOLY ON FOOD!
Bob Loblaw?
