Sorry for the confusion.
It's ok. We're all cornfused.But, seriously, if all that emerged and mattered today is 'value brand', isn't it just indicative of the fact that consumers just haven't found the next cool bw annihilating thing yet? I doubt this is part of a general trend, unless this industry has reached a mature plateau. (which would be very sad, imho).
