Reply to comment by BloodAndTsundere in ELI5: if it's cheaper for stores to sell store branded same item why won't they fully/dramatically abandon name brands? by Then_Mountain_9893

You just gave three separate examples of why you would, and you're ONE person.

Now extend your post to someone else.

"It's the only thing I ever see advertised on TV."
"9 out of 10 doctors recommend it compared to... well, the other... stuff"
"My niece told me she saw a poster for it and it helped her sick baby."
"It's been around for over a hundred years!"
"I am a Huge fan of Politician X, and he promoted it!"
"I just love their advertisements, they make me laugh so hard!"

And keep going.

Yes, some of those answers are probably indicative of someone that's not as aware or smart as you.

But that doesn't matter if they spend their money on the brand product in question.
