    @adm - most brands outsource to the cheapest manufacturer (or the original maker no longer trades and has sold the brand name). You've got to wonder what has happened to the quality when you see a brand name selling in the local discount store at 20 for a fiver or some such giveaway price.

    One reason that you shouldn't slavishly have brand loyalty without doing some research before purchasing. Many well respected companies from 20/30/40 years ago have ceased trading but their brand names still exist and the badge with these names appear on many goods on-line and in our shops. Often identical products will be marketed under half a dozen different brand names. Even when only the badge has been purchased and used the company using it may have a glossy web site claiming a history related to the original company.

    Another marketing ploy is for an existing company to allow its brand name to appear on other manufactures goods - Hitachi TVs for instance.
