Highly consumed, tho, is another thing 
Not at all. Every c-store I’ve worked at in California has sold it, or at least the non-spicy version. It’s OK, less clammy than I expected.

Yeah, when I go to the grocery store I try not to “see” it because the concept makes me kind of vomity.
I can’t help but think of Richard Jeni whenever I come across Clamato:
Before I switched to using 7th generation cleaning products, I found that Target brand wipes were far superior to Clorox or Lysol ones. Much more textured, wetter, thicker. I still don’t know why that is. Every time I go home I have to bring my mom some Target wipes, since they don’t have a Target.
Target brand kitchen trash can liners that have the odor-eaters thing in them are slightly better than the comparable Glad ones.
I like the cheaper brands of spaghetti sauce (e.g. Ragu) over the more expensive stuff (Emeril’s, Rao’s). I also find that some imported pasta is not as good as the cheap domestic stuff-I prefer store brand stuff ($0.75/lb) to the imported stuff (@ $2.00/lb).
For clothing: some low end brands are quite good-I’ve had good luck with H&M stuff.Old Navy jeans are OK, not quite as good as Levis.
For wines, Robert Mondavi is a great buy at $6.00/bottle-tastse as good as the >$15 stuff.
Creatine.
You can get a tub of the stuff for dirt cheap.
Yet, Muscletech seems to feel they can rip off their customers…
Chocolate. For several years I ate $7-a-bar French stuff. Then I discovered Hershey’s Special Dark, which I like much much better. Woohoo!
Kuhn Rikon peelers. They cost under $4, and are sharper and eaiser to use then any other peeler in existence When it gets dull, just throw it away and buy a new one. The cheapest offerings from target or walmart are around $8, and are crap.
Chips.
I much prefer store house-brand potato chips to the national brands. So far, that’s been true no matter what store/house brand it is.
The unknown label tortilla chips are always better than the national brands. I have had to change brands a few times, as the unknown label becomes known and their price goes up - but there’s always a new unknown that’s at least as good. One advantage of living down here!
The only one I haven’t found a good knock-off for is Frito’s. I’ve only ever once seen knock-off Frito’s. I didn’t notice much difference, but the SO swears they were awful. I may have to sneak in a blind taste test sometime.
(I don’t eat Cheetos, so I’ve got no idea on those.)
Exactly. The “what?” is that there is a generic store-brand Clamato. I’ve seen Clamato, but I doubt they ever sell enough to consider needing another brand!
Ballpoint pens. The cheap Bics and Pentels I use are completely reliable and work great every time.
Whenver I try one of those big honkin fancy Montblanc, Cross, or Parker things they don’t work work half the time or blob out ink that smudges.
Why are you wiping diapers?
I don’t like the $50 - $100 range of Champagnes. I’ve poured them down the drain before and that is a painful thing to do.
Do NOT like store brand corn syrup. Bleah.
Except for me.
I am going ‘Crap, forgot I have that in the fridge; bloody marys tonight!!’ 
Oh, and I like the cheapo cheese curls. They taste stale…which is perfect, since with regular Cheetos I have been known to leave them open for a day, so they’ll get stale and chewy faster 
They’re not going to wipe themselves, are they?
From what department in Target? I ended up ordering them online this winter because department stores don’t seem to carry them.
Since one person has already been declared a hertic, I might as well say it. Paint Shop Pro X[insert 2 or 3 here] is a easier to use, vastly more intuitive product than Photo Shop for 1/6 the price, and you can get similar results with it.
Took too long to get this link edit the above, sorry. Take this image, for example. Besides the cow orginally being in color, it lacked the highlights at the top of its head to light it like the girl in the photo, and I was able to overlay the curtain to give the suggestion of the cow’s bulk behind it though slight shadowing near the cow’s back. I doubt you could do better with Photoshop.
I think it’s a Mexican thing. I see it more in Mexican neighborhoods, and the Michelada is pretty popular; Budweiser even makes their own version. Don’t know if it’s drunk straight.
Paint.NET does everything I want, and it’s free. For those who want a more Photoshop-like environment, GIMP is also free. Both have tons of community support and plugins.
Generic cables are much, much better than Monster $100 cables, even if they have the power of voodoo to justify the price.
