As someone who used to work in a warehouse I can confirm the cheaper brands are just the name brand that got damaged in productions bought out at a cheaper price sold cheaper by these companies. I was also shocked af when I found it out , growing up poor people made fun of everything down to your lunches if you didn’t have name brand.

[@rosey45309]

Hey Shane! I work in a vision center selling glasses and I just wanted to spread some info to y’all: almost all of the name brand glasses you buy are made in knockoff factories. For example, Ray Ban is an extremely popular brand that people come in looking for. However, unless it says that it is made in Italy, it is a knockoff. We have like two pairs that day they’re made in Italy and others from China, Taiwan, etc. next time you go to a place that sells glasses, look at where it was made! Authentic glasses will all be made in one place. If you have Ray Bans that are made in Italy, congrats, but they hardly sell those now!

[@emiriidesu]

Woah! But they’re allowed to put the branding on the knockoffs? That’s wild haha

[@rosey45309]

@@emiriidesu they absolutely are! People buy it for the brand label, not the quality. I’ve had a mom come in saying she saved up the last four paychecks to get her son a Ray Ban frame but the ones he liked were all knockoffs with the Ray Ban logo on it. I told her not to waste her money and the boy happily agreed to get less expensive frames that were (honestly) probably better quality

[@JulianneMalene]

I’m a barista and during our barista course they told us during our training that brands get tea from the same batch at the same machines. And the reason some brands are higher quality is because they get the good whole leaves and the cheaper companies get the damaged leaves. If you want to know if your tea is “good” is to see if there’s any specs of tea leaves in the bottom of your cup at the end of brewing. If there’s specs it means it’s “bad”

[@vickeegee9905]

I was thinking this while watching. They can make it at the same manufacture building but be making them different. A recall would require anything made in the same building/ or using the same machines to be recalled as well… doesn’t mean it’s all identically made and has same quality. Thank you for your anecdote.

[@JaccsieB]

This is kind of like how outlet stores sometimes on purpose make cheaper quality items of the same they sell in their main stores, just to sell in their outlets for less money, but people think they're getting the same quality at a discount. but they're not!
