would anyone actually like that? how am i supposed to know anything about a product if it's just called "chips"?? what's the flavor, texture, what does it look like?

maybe partially transparent packaging would be nice, though

Shocked you're the first ITT to mention 無印良品 - it's probably the most successful unbranded brand in the world nowadays!

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Side note, Muji 無印 literally means "no brand".

In Germany the leading drugstore chain does this with their brand aimed at Men. (See link).

They also noticed that they don't like walking through the whole store, so they put every product for men in one aisle directly next to the checkout.

I am still waiting for an online store that can sell me a no brand/ no label high quality tshirt in any of the basic colors and cuts and fabrics

Probably need to post your country/region. Many of the better online stores are regional.

For Germany, grundstoff.net has a good selection. They seem to ship all over Europe, but the webpage is only German...

The life of a repo man is always intense.

We had this in France in the 80s when big supermarkets started to open.

Norwegian and Danish grocery store "Rema 1000" has their own store brand that's very minimalistic: https://shop.rema1000.dk/?filters=rema1000
It's just the text saying what it is and a little picture and not much else.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is pretty normal outside USA.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

They stock really good røkt laks. Used to know someone who worked in Norway and used to bring it sometimes.

Sweden had the ”blue white” brand for low price products. There wasn’t even an image on the boxes.

If you see stuff like that you're either at a military commissary, or No Frills.

Kwik Save used to do No Frills…is it still a thing somewhere?
