With QTE you have to print the T-Shirts by hand, a mess up will cost you time, T-Shirts with funny memes with cause you to laugh making harder to print the shirt. Will you print 10,000 shirts by Friday 5pm?



Aldi (US branch of Aldi South) / Trader Joes (US branch of Aldi North) mostly sell original products under a different name and packaging. They usually come from the same factories and production lines as the brand products but are much cheaper because of the high volumes moved and reduced supermarket / advertising costs. They would sell Go Monster Pocket and it would be the original game with a different title screen.

I'm sure most of us are aware of the ever-expanding supermarket that is Aldi. Aldi is well known for cheap products and ripping off famous brands by slightly changing the name, logo and and packaging design to come up with an almost identical and cheaper version of the brand they are ripping off.

Do you have a few examples which brands they are ripping off?

Many (not all!) of their products with similar name and logo are exactly the same product from the "ripped off" manufacturer:

Many brands have the economies of scale realized : the larger the number of items produced , the lower the manufacturing cost of a product . Since the additional quantity produced but not allowed to settle as established brand products , it is often sold at much lower prices no name or as a second brand .


Aldi. Man, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Only one I ever went into was in PA, while dating a girl who went to college in the state. There was one right down the road from her college. Always loved looking at the part of the store where they had a little bit of everything. Bought a few tools from them. Food wasn't bad either.

They arent really ripping off products, they go to the same suppliers and ask to make their own brands from the same matericals etc.



Oh, and the American equivalent to Aldi is called Sav A Lot. I like going in there. We did have one of the two close to me close, though. Would be interesting if Aldi opened a store there.



Don't we have Gameloft for this already?

They are ripping off brands. Jaffa cake, Cadburys, Mcvities, Jammie Dodgers. Company have spent millions building up these brands for somebody to piggy back off of them. And no they are no the same product. Some are clearly different in taste or more cheaply made.

Err... you realise basically EVERY company does this? xD

Morrisons/Tesco all have their own brands of these products too.

Even Cadbury's sell Jaffa Cakes....

Bit unfair to single Aldi out!
