My buddy roasted me for buying store brand tortillas and now I'm kind of convinced

I was at WinCo grabbing stuff for my weekly taco night and a coworker saw me grabbing the $1.49 store brand tortillas. He goes "dude, those fall apart after two minutes" and handed me a pack of the Guerrero ones for like 50 cents more. I shrugged him off but tried them anyway and yeah, they actually held together through a double-stacked carne asada and didn't turn into wet paper towels. Now I'm side-eyeing every cheap alternative I used to buy without question. Anyone else had a cheap staple get totally outclassed by spending just a buck or two more?

I had the EXACT same thing happen with ketchup. Got the generic stuff for years, then a buddy made me try Heinz and I couldn't go back. Sometimes 50 cents is a small price for not having your food fall apart.

Man that's spot on! I was the same way with my hot sauce, always bought the cheap store brand until a buddy handed me a bottle of Cholula and now I can't touch anything else either.
