Tbf, Costco doesn’t make any of that either. They just white label things
Kirkland strong

Well I mean, it does say “Kirkland signature” not “made in Kirkland.”
They’re just putting their signature on it.

Yup, they buy up portions of production runs and relabel it. This is why some products are not available sometimes - because they couldn’t negotiate the contract to be able to sell it at the Costco price.

Wait ‘til they find out the cereal in bags is the same thing as the cereal in boxes.

And you get brand name shit in bulk for cheap. There’s no downside. I’ll gladly buy Kirkland anything except dishwasher pods. Those suck donkey balls.
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
All dishwasher pods suck donkey balls though
BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We usually get the Cascade pods but tried Kirkland this year and haven’t noticed a difference.

iirc, they have their own meat processing facilities. part of that production is used to make the hot dogs (since ~ 2011) for their long-running $1.50 combo with a soft drink.

I’m starting to think maybe we don’t deserve Ken Jennings.
Nobody ruin him for me.

My company hired him as a keynote speaker for a company all hands event. He talked for about half an hour and then hosted a fake Jeopardy round with some of the staff asking company and city trivia.
He was charming, gracious, interesting, and funny throughout.
I hate everything about that company and their leadership, but Ken… Ken was a good decision. An awesome dude.

Apparently the only qualifications for hosting Jeopardy is being a solid dude
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
And a scab. That’s why they fired Mayim Bialik. She didn’t fulfil that requirement.

Reread the whole thing once I realized it was Ken Jennings at the end.

Imagine being addicted to brand names and billboarding yourself out like some sort of corporate hoe.
Like, goddamn… At least get paid!

I’ve never seen a worse example of this than people who put the Monster logo on their cars. How is it even possible to feel that level of pride in your energy drink of choice?
dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I assume it’s because Monster sponsors a lot of racing. So they aren’t putting the sticker up because they are proud of the Monster brand, but because it makes their car look more like racing cars do.

Kirkland is the cheaper store brand so advertising that on your body is kind of funny. I guess since it’s membership only its the higher-end cheaper option.

At the Winco bulk section you can get fresh ground peanut butter and it costs less, but I don’t think they have T Shirts
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Eventually it’ll be the “Gulf of Kirkland” if they keep going like this.

Who’s a good gym buddy? 🤔 Ken’s a good gym buddy! 🐶
Ken has completed a set. Will you give them a treat?
AA5B@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Except Kirkland peanut butter is a miss. It tastes great but is mostly oil. Something like Teddys has a higher proportion of peanut solids
