Great 'disguised Own Brand' Hunt.

Shoka posted ages ago that most of the soaps, powders etc contain damaging stuff (most of the content is actually used as industrial cleaner i.e. Sodium Laurel Sulphate) thanks. Try Amway. Go on the net and see where your local supplier is. Usually they deliver to your door. NONE of the stuff contains Sodium Laurel Sulphate or pig fat etc its all natural and you need a fraction of the amount you need for washing, clothes washing, etc etc. Who in their right mind would wash their hair, face or clothes with stuff used as industrial cleaner. Amway stuff is pure. Lush, as someone else says do pure soaps also.

These companies are all Bosch owned.
Blaupunkt (Blue Spot) - Car Radios etc.
Atco and Qualcast - Garden tools.
Dremmel - Small Drill.
Bosch (obviously) and Skil power tools.
Bosch, Continental and Neff - White goods (and Siemens have a close relationship).
Worcester - Gas and Oil boilers.

At least with Bosch though, they make this open knowledge. I.E. Worcester is called worcster boschh on their website, and qualcast lawnmovers and parts all have bosch on them too.

I know this is slightly off topic, but has anyone ever tried Sainsbuys own milk chocolate? Its about 23p for a big bar and tastes like lint chocolate!

I don't tend to buy own brand milk choc - but do buy the plain and I can honestly say I prefer it to some other brand makes - and the price makes it taste even better!

That's lovely but doesn't really fit in with this thread.

It does if you start at page one where (for some strange reason) Hoover was discussed.

Hi work for a company called premier foods in cambridgeshire who make
tesco and asda value baked beans
tesco and asda normal baked beans
AND branston baked beans.
Right there is not that much different in the value and normal range for supermarkets as all that happens is the sauce that goes into them has a little more water in the value ones there is not many more beans in the standard can just a couple of grams so its same sauce and beans just a different can and label. lol
But as for branston they are done with there own sauce thats alot thicker, and a different bean too that are larger.

Not exactly a disguised own brand, but could indicate quality...
"Wychwood also brews organic beers for Duchy Originals and specials for Sainsburys" (found on their website)
