*I had a theory that even if you bought a name brand product, such as Black & Decker, you were getting a lower quality item. *

You are correct. Half the stuff, maybe more now, is made in one factory and the label slapped on after. Buy a Lexmark printer, they don't even cover it up anymore! It's got all these chinese characters on it, with a Lexmark sticker.
There's also the "Made for" now too. See this in a lot of cheap products.
I think I saw a shirt in Sears that I bought at Value city. Different brand, same label and same country. But that was the big thing a decade ago when they criticized the GAP. Before that was standard practice.
Plus, like they saw in pet food a few weeks ago, one company owns everything anyway, so really there's no point.

Pessimist post of the day.
