I'll piggyback on your comment with Worcestershire sauce.
Lea & Perrins make the original Worcestershire sauce, they also have never disclosed the full recipe, just the ingredients.
There are store brands and even Heinz makes a sauce. None of them are as good as the original.
Yea the heinz one sucked. I had to Chuck it I just couldn't get through it.
Heinz is particularly bad, they use soy sauce and corn syrup, and I don't think ferment it at all.
Whereas Lea & Perrins use zero soy, and ferment the sauce.
The absolute worst part about it all is that Lea & Perrins was bought out by Heinz in 2005, and yet the Heinz branded sauce is still shit flavored water.
The original is still made the same way, and is still good.
No, this is the best part because L&Ps product didn't go to shit after getting bought out.
True. That is a good thing.
That's a good point. A number of sauces/mixed condiments in general are kind of like sodas. There are definitely competitors, but they all have slightly different variants, even within the same field. And people seem to have definite preferences on the specific variant.
Like, the Brits have that brown sauce stuff.
