I work as a sound recordist on TV crews (yes, the guy with the big hairy thing on a stick). We once did a news item on an award winning dairy that produced organic yoghurt. During filming of the production line they told us that we had to stop and do interviews instead. Then they changed out their cartons for Sainsbury ones and restarted the line with the same product. We swore not to tell as the brand sold, in Sainsbury's, for a higher price so I'm afraid that I can't tell you what happened that day at Rachel's Organic.

7:10 fun fact: almost all major liquor brands do the same thing, especially whiskey manufacturers. Pappy Van Winkle is an insanely expensive, limited bourbon in the states that's extremely difficult to get. W.L. Weller is a cheaper whiskey that's easy to come by. It also comes from the exact same barrels that Pappy Van Winkle does, with no changes in age or temperature. One will cost you hundreds of dollars, the other $25 to $30.

7:20 For sure, in many cases, the brand and off-brand version of something are identical - all made in the brand's facilities, only with different labels slapped on. I worked at a grocery store just a few years ago, and a box of store brand cream cheese, sealed and straight off the truck, had 4 units of the brand version packed in by mistake.
