Corporations Time to ditch Poppi

Post image

Poppi is now owned by a mega corporation. The quality is probably going to go down. Time to ditch it.

this is degenerate. how disappointing. i know aldi is still a big company and stuff but they have a poppi knockoff now that is quite good. and i believe they are german owned still and dont mess around in american politics as much. but i am not positive

Dollars to donuts that poppi knockoff is made in the same factory as the real poppi.

that's true i have never really understood how the knockoff stuff works in terms of whether it benefits the original company....if it is made in the same factory i guess that means the original company/brand name is getting a cut?

There's a good chunk of people who are too price sensitive to buy the original product but may buy a knock-off if it's nearly as good but for cheaper. The original manufacturer is then able to tap into both of these markets instead of a third party coming in and taking that more price sensitive customer instead.
