Getting people to defend the cheapest quality food as "good" has to be the greatest marketing success of all time.

I would ask if you realized that there's cheap food that isn't from a national chain, but you're obviously so hard on over your taco bell hatred you can't see that.

I haven't even mentioned a single chain. Nice ad hominem though.

Nice deflection and lie. I also had no intention of arguing against you. You're wrong, simply as that. I was pointing out why you're wrong, that's not ad hominem.

Lol. This guy, so mad and unable to actually have a discussion.

Please quote my reference to a chain.

And theres an ad hominem.

Mentioning your anger isn't an attack, unless it's self-perceived because of insecurities due to anger issues.

But hey, you can call me liar when I didn't, so let's just leave it at that.

Maybe. But to assume because of price is still wrong. You can make something cheaper and get a lower profit. But in the end, profit is profit. Things can also be more expensive because of shipping location. My thing is I dont base quality on price. Because its just one factor. The best thing to base quality on it the food itself. Taste, health (if thats you thing), how well it keeps, etc. Id rather not eat something I think taste worse just because it cost more. I also wouldnt pay more for something when I can get the same thing for a couple bucks cheaper because its the store brand, but taste exactly the same...

You can make something cheaper and still get a profit, but you get to a point where you can't make something at a certain quality and still make a profit.

Other than homemade, I have never had a pizza for under $10 that I would say was "high quality" - something is always off with it: either it's too doughy (Pizza Hut), it's under seasoned (Dominos), or has a multitude of problems with it (the pizza from the 7-11).

And we're starting to go all over the place. Is the topic about restaurants or food from a grocery store, since the comparisons between store band and name brand being made available in the same store is not a fair comparison to a chain brand restaurant to say a mom-pop restaurant.

In a grocery store, the store brands get to ride on the advertising that the name brand does. They save money by not advertising so when they put their item on the shelf they can offer a closer quality because they have your attention right there in the store, with that price tag that's cheaper. You already went to the store. It's very different from restaurants that need to get you in the door first and aren't offering their competitors products right there.

That said, I would argue there are many products where the quality of the cheaper brand is no where close to that of the name brand. Most Cereals, Boxed food (like Mac & cheese), and soda are some examples where you might as well just spend the extra buck.

But we need to decide the location of where the tacos/pizza are coming from - because if we are now moving into grocery stores, we might as well get into the discussion of people cooking at home, but I think that's starting to get into moving goalposts territory

There are a lot of brands where the cheaper version is of lesser quality. I never said there werent. There are also a lot of brands where the cheaper version is the same or better quality, as well... Im just saying pricing doesnt always mean better. Thats for the grocery stuff.

For restaurants, it can kind of work the same. Ive been to plenty of Fancy restaurants where their food isnt better than a cheaper place. Sometimes, its similar quality. Sometimes, its worse. Ive also gone to many mom and pop shops, or local places. There stuff isnt godly like most people think. Sometimes, its not even good. And those are the places where people say the ingredients are supposedly high quality. And the fancy restaurants, as well...

But I do agree that location is important. Which stores/restaurants, and also, just where in general. The actual location in the world matters, as well... Not to mention, every restaurant is different, anyway... Like how cities will have the good McDonalds and the bad one...
