good illustration of how we pay for brand and packaging, but in many cases they all just come from the same factory.

I especially learned this whenever Peter Pan peanut butter had a huge recall back in 2009. It included Walmart peanut butter too.

The same applies for OTC meds. The pharmacy store brand generic is the equivalent of the name brand.
