Certain premade foods, like tortillas. Even amongst brands, not all are equal. Same with the cheese.

Nutella

Edit: I am FLABERGASTED at how many people disagree, I genuinely thought this was obvious, pls recommend anything you prefer to nutella (and whether it's more or less expensive)

Aldi has a really tasty version that our whole family prefers.

Nah, there’s stuff out there that’s better. Just try out a few.

Nutella is the holy one! There's other good stuff and I don't say Nutella is better, it's just in a one-and-only category: if you want Nutella, you buy Nutella, if you want some chocolate cream, you buy what you like best

I get that, although Nutella has gotten worse in my opinion since they increased the milk powder content relative to the hazelnut content a few years back. So even Nutella isn’t really Nutella anymore in my opinion, therefore I can just as well buy something with more hazelnut centered flavour.

I am one of the Nutella buyers but even so I would mention that the flavour varies wildly amongst different countries to the point that I now can say I like it from very specific places. Just thought I'd mention that each of us could actually have a slightly different version and not like it as much.

Ah, that would explain some things. Thx.
