I believe this is called “off-spec”. My papaw used to get these before he passed away. It’s on brand but something was wrong with it that it didn’t pass inspection. It may have been slightly off in color, or smelled slightly different, too much of 1 ingredient/not enough of one ingredient etc. so instead of throwing it out or donating it, the company sells it at a lesser price so they don’t loose there whole dollar amount on the product. He would specifically get tide and downy. Gallon jugs for 9 dollars. Not sure where he got them from.

Sounds like government cheese. Not sure if that’s still a thing these days, but if you’re old enough, you know what I’m talking about.

It still exists they just dont give it out, its just bought up and sold wholesale for price stability. That is why cheese is in and on everything.

This was the original purpose of factory outlet stores. Most places now make crap specifically for them though.
