Things of which you prefer the generally-accepted lesser quality version

Thanks, we don’t have Menard’s around here so I’m not very familiar with it. Looks like one is .67 $ a box and the other is .22. My gut says go with the cheaper one for the really “good” chemicals.

Yep, that would be what I think also.

The radioactive orange glow is your assurance of freshness!

I love cheese, all different types for all different purposes, but none of them can touch Kraft singles for a grilled cheese sandwich.

It’s sold under the brand name “Parade”. Here’s a link that shows it:

In summer of 2019, I bought a brand-new 2018 Mazda 3 with stick shift, because the 2019 no longer offered manual transmission.

In no way is manual transmission “lesser quality”. Unfortunately, it is gradually going obsolete. (At least in the USA. I vacationed in western Europe a few years ago, and I could still get manual transmission in a car rental.)
