This is OC, and I've never made anything like this before, so I apologize that it's a little ugly, I threw it together in MS Paint 30 minutes after waking up. If anyone is capable and willing to make it any prettier please feel free. Share where you can, and don't be a scab
I would imagine the answer is usually yes, but I believe it is the case that sometimes store brand versions of snacks come from the same factory as the name brand version. It probably depends on which.
This definitely happens, you're right. "Private label" is sometimes used instead of "store brand" if anyone wants to look into it more.
The real question there is whether or not the boycotted company owns that factory. If the factory is a third party that is just contracting its production to the boycotted company and, separately, to the store brand, then the fact that both products come from the same factory is immaterial.
