No. Heinz rides on a name, not on quality.
I can name three local brands that dwarf that bottled red sludge in quality, sell cheaper and larger volumes.
Only thing I will grant to Heinz: glass bottles.

Dr. Bronners liquid Castille soap. I've tried others but they are not as concentrated or as moisturizing. Great diluted for shaving legs.
Sensodyne Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Toothpaste. I've reversed three cavities that were forming by using this toothpaste.
Persil detergent. I use other detergents but always have this on deck for tough stains or funky items.
Jockey women's cotton underwear. There's a specific cut that they have that's flattering and comfortable.

Milk. Great Value’s brand just tastes so darned awful for some reason I can’t place. I live in the midwest, and Prairie Farms is pretty common as a brand here.
There are some others, many dairy products now that I think about it, but there’s also some medicines like Mucinex which I prefer to use over generic brands. I’m otherwise not very picky.

Bahlsen Schoko-leibniz. The store brand ones don't have nearly as nice chocolate.
Conversely, after eights are garbage and the supermarket version comes with nicely tempered chocolate that does a very satisfying crackle when you bite.

- Kleenex
- toilet paper
- paper towels
- potato chips
- daisy sour cream
- batteries
- tampons
- butter
- olive oil
- ziplocks
- pumpkin puree
- contact lenses
This is a combined list from my wife and I.
Most of that list is not brand specific.
I think he meant they don't go for genetic brands for those products

This has become a rarity for me but I don't like any french onion dip other than Dean's French onion dip.
I don't eat it very often because my tastes have changed but if I had to go to the store and buy some right now if they didn't have deans I wouldn't get it.
Coffee and tea. Otherwise I always buy store brand because it comes from the same factory.

Off brand Bagel Bites are a big nope for me.
Mortons salt. Somehow that little metal spout is just worse in every store brand I've tried.
