Brands that just can't be swapped out

I'm taking food.

For example, I'm yet to find a decent alternative to Quavers. Supermarket brands are crap!

Ditto Marmite

Mayonnaise is one that is easy for shops to get wrong. I’ve got the Aldi one at the moment and it’s a perfectly acceptable substitute for Hellman’s but the Waitrose one is absolutely disgusting. It was so bad that I assumed that something in the sandwich I’d put it in was off, but when I tried it with something else it was vile. I had to throw it away and the reviews for it say the same.

It used to be Heinz beans and ketchup, but I’m happy with branston and Asda now.

HP fruity sauce - because no one does an own brand, Yorkshire decaf tea as the only other out supermarket stocks is tey which is nasty and lurpak and Marmite.

Branston beans were a revelation to me after a lifetime of Heinz!

Heinz tomato soup

Potato waffles - nothing tastes better than birdseye.

Ginger Beer - nothing tastes better than Old Jamaica

Diet coke and ketchup

Marmite and most things Heinz.

Definitely Coke, Heinz Beans, pot noodles and probably more but I can't think of them right now.
