Assignment task:
(1) Advertisers work hard to make supermarket consumers believe that buying name-brand goods is the only way to go.
(2) But in reality, there is often little difference between expensive name-brand grocery store items and the lower-priced economy items.
(3) For example, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes are made of simple ingredients: cornflakes and sugar.
(4) No-Frills or Econo-Buy Sugared Flakes are the exact same thing.
(5) The same is true for items such as canned vegetables.
(6) Often the farms and factories that package corn for Green Giant also package it for the no-name brand.
(7) Even the metal cans used for each are identical!
(8) The price difference between name brands and the generic brands is a result of advertising-it costs millions of dollars to put Tony the Tiger or the Green Giant on your television.
