There's shit loads of own brand cereals that aren't knock offs though. But aye, as others have said, most of its made in the same factory and put in a different box. No one is thinking more of you because you've bought coco pops instead of chocolate puffs.
Kellogs are at pains to make it clear they 'don't make cereal for anyone else.'
Sure nestle, weetabix, quaker etc don't have any such qualms.
I think that it varies between supermarkets. Some of the lidl choco pillows are dece, m & s triple chocolate crunch are pinilla and some of the other own variants are just as good, but there are some own brand cornflakes which are absolutely shite.
Own brand corn flakes are risky, they are usually cardboard-flavoured and chewy. Although, given we are men and therefore don't eat corn flakes unless they are crunchy nut, seeing as there's a world of glorious cereal out there for us, that's not a problem.

Yeh mak that is more of an ironic joke if i'm round at my mates or up at my mums etc, you know if you go and get a packet of crisps or something and fancy a bit of light humour? That sort of deal.

How do they normally react? Do they laugh it off or do they act like total whiney wee bitches and moan about how you wouldn't say the same to someone else, they were just joking and have different cereal in the cupboard, Robbie Neilson's face?

We have a blazing row then i take them down to my house to show them i also have some own brand stuff and that it was all one big joke then we all move on with our lives. With a juanmayay.
Got 72 weetabix the other week so just been ploughing through them. Been using Greek yoghurt instead of milk though. Sometimes a squirt of honey if I'm feeling dangerous. Pretty dece.
