product geek: floss
You know how some products are name brand scams? Like, the product is exactly the same, no matter which brand you buy?
Well. This is apparently not true for floss.
My mom put Reach “woven” floss (the pink package) in our stockings at Christmas. I loved it and used it all up. Then I went to the store, and thought, “oh they don’t have it. I’ll just get this Market Basket floss instead.” So much worse! Awful. I’m putting it in the toolbox for craft projects.
Friends, advancements have been made in the floss arena. Reach for Reach. Seriously.

I completely agree. Generic floss isn’t even worth buying. Floss and candy – stick with the name brand.

Though I haven’t come to the same conclusion about candy, I like the idea of ignoring the cvs version of every flavor. But is that “dutch” plastic bag candy supplier considered a name brand? or off brand?

No, not Market Basket floss! I too made that mistake, same conclusion (dap)

Hopefully someone in the company is keeping up with their presence and current disapproval in the blog world. Keep it top tier, but breathtakingly cheap, guys.

next post: DIY with market basket floss!

That *would* be the diy this blog would have. Actually, once I took it out of the weird floss container, the little roll of twine looked very promising.
