"Generic" packaging ca. 1980 - your memories and thoughts about it

A good friend tutored kids at Cabrini Green (“The Projects” in Chicago), and one grade school kid got pushed, and to retaliate turned and insulted the bully with "You’re just… just… generic!"

I remember “generic” being a pretty common insult (whether applied to people or things).

Whatever else I have to say, I already said in this previous thread:

Are there any (non-pharmacy) generics still sold?

From the thread Favorite fake product names? I wondered if there are any generic products still being sold in the United States or around the world. I don’t mean private label products, which have some branding even if it’s not widely recognized.
