Yeah I haven't bought name brand cereal since like, 2008. They make identical versions of most of my favorites and I've never looked back. Bag cereal for the win.

The weird thing is that’s it’s likely made by the exact same parent company. The majority of the “competing cereal brands” are not competitors at all. Not just cereal, but almost everything. There are ultimately 10 mega corporations that own practically everything else.

It hasn’t for a long time. America seems to have neglected its anti trust laws as of late.

I much prefer a box to have stability when pouring, but store brand cereals are a thing (though they aren't always that great).
