A friend of mine that works at Garelick Farms which produces dairy products. He told me the milk they bottle weather it be there name brand or lower costing brands like Walmart "great value", or "Cumberland Farms". It all comes from the same pump/product they just slap a different label for whatever brand there bottling. Any other company's do this?

I thought this was already well known?

It's a good point, but yeah, I thought this was more widely known as well.
I've heard it's the same with cereal too. It's all the same stuff, only the packaging is different.

Not news. This is so prevalent in so many different forms in so many different industries.

Many companies do this. I believe if you read the label, it does indicate it. If not, then I would agree its ripping people off.

I work for an apparel company and the private label stuff they manufacture and sell to stores like Marshalls, Modells, Ross, Belk, etc is all the same thing, they just change the name.

This can't be surprising to anyone. This happens with most retail products. Clothes, food, cars etc etc.

Look at Costco. Most of the Kirkland brand is made by other companies. Like their batteries are Duracell, their allergy meds are made at Allegra, claritin....... they just slap other brands lables on them.

Both are really comfortable. Medication has generic versions too. My doctor had originally prescribed me a brand of medication. Then when I next saw him and told him the medication was like $100 he changed it to the generic. Now I pay $17.

why can't other companies do this, like action figure companies and use the same products and release them under STORE BRAND names like Jon Seener, The Overgiver, Double H, etc

I think it was with AWA figures. The AWA body molds were bought from the Masters of the Universe toy creaters in the 80's. Those bodies were then shared between nearly all 80's "buff" figures. Thundercats used them. Remco, Hasbro, Mattel, and bootleggers all utilized them.

I remember I had I guess a bootleg Hulk Hogan I bought at like Macy's by the register. It was the mold of the Hasbro body slam Hogan. But it was soft plastic, with a man bun, goatee, red tank top, green trunks, and black boots.

My company lies to clients all the time. It sucks for me because I'm in the graphic design department, so there will be times where clients put me on the spot by asking about information that effects their designs that I know nothing about.

Every company does this. It's cheaper to have Wonder make Kroger brand bread than it is for Kroger to open bakeries all over the nation. It might be produced in the same plant with the same equipment but there is a difference in recipes.
I worked at a grocery store for years when I was a teen. I would watch the trucks from different vendors pull up to the store and unload both the store brand and the name brand. There is a difference in products though. It isnt a rip off, it's just different recipes and different quality in products.
When I worked at the store what surprised me more is how many different brands and products are made by the same company. Look at the labels of your groceries, youll see it's only a handful of companies making multiple different brands.
