    The reason they said Canada is because we have a brand here called No Name in yellow packaging doing that exact thing. It’s Loblaw’s store brand.

      The US did this for a while from the later 70s until the mid 80s. White-label packaging, with just the name of the foodstuff or item printed on it, in its own separate aisle. Most of these evolved later on into store brands.
