The only one worth buying
« on: December 23, 2020, 02:48:16 PM »
Are there brands, or models/flavors within a brand, that you feel are the only ones worth buying? I'm thinking mostly in terms of food, but I'm including the term "models" because I guess it could apply to other scenarios.

For example:

Ben and Jerry's ice cream - ridiculously expensive, I don't see it being good enough to justify the price, except for their Phish Food flavor.

Chex Mix - the chocolate Turtle flavor...while I understand that taste is something completely individual, I cannot understand why people would buy the other flavors.

OK, good, but - have you ever tried a bunch of flavors of something, and thought, "I don't understand why they make all those other flavors, when THIS one is clearly the best?"

Post raisin bran
I used to think that, but I've since had several that I found just as good, including the Aldi brand.

All of their (Millville is the branding) cereals are pretty good replacements for the originals.

The only cereal I have yet to find a good replacement for is Cheerios. I have never tasted a knockoff that came even close to the original

Y’all are posting in the wrong thread. The thread you’re looking for with these items is:
Don't settle for anything but the best

OP is questioning the other way: not which brand makes the best X product, but what’s the only item/s worth buying from X brand.

Thank you - even more than that, those items where you look around, and just have trouble understanding why the brand bothers to make the other options. Or why other people even bother buying other flavors, or a different brand.
