Frozen pizza. Most all pizzas are basically just crackers with tomatoe sauce and cheese, but then there is Dr Oetkers Ofenfrische. I find myself eating 14 euro wood-fired takeout pizzas, only to realize that it stinks compared to an Ofenfrische

It is made by a real doctor after all and that is more than you can say about most pizzas.

This is a weird one, but Astepro nasal spray for allergies. The name brand is a little unpleasant to blast up my nose because of the smell/taste. But the off brand stuff is absolutely foul and bitter. I would get random whifs and drips of the nastiness in the back of my throat for an hour.

Levis. Cheap pants are never worth it, the 501 is always in style and perfect.

I'm an absolute whore of a human for Mitsubishi 'Uni' Pens. I don't even like writing, but their Jetstream line are cheap and should be the ubiquitous goto pen. Everytime I have to pick up a bic, I die a little inside.

Household appliance and in general everything where support and assistance may have a big impact

Cheerios. Just the plain toasted oat variety.

For some reason the other brands of toasted oats do not taste right. Other cereal generics are fine.
