I am certain that you believe there is a difference.

In taste? Sure, for some of them. I go between my local grocer and Whole Foods for fruits and vegetables and the ones I buy a lot of have a taste different. For example, I prefer the "non organic" blackberries. i think the "organic" blackberries taste a lot worse and are more bitter. oddly enough, they come from the same company that has an organic and non organic line of things. Kind of weird, but yeah.

You can taste the difference in these things pretty easily. Some others don't have much of a difference though. As someone else said, it's sometimes easier to tell the difference in meat/poultry and dairy.

This is pure insanity. A '94 Chevy Cavalier can outrace a 2013 Corvette too.

While I'm posting in the WF thread. A couple recommendations.

1. Virgil's Cream Soda and Root Beer. They have like 5 ingredients and are the best tasting carbonated beverages I've had in my life, especially the cream soda.

2. Parrano cheese and the aged version Robusto. They are gouda cheese but done in a flavor more like Italian cheese. Really incredible, think if Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese was a little creamy.

I picked up some of this stuff the other day without realizing it was Virgil's until tonight. It's black cherry cream soda, and yes, it's absolutely delicious.
 
On a side note, when I was in there the other day I saw Forey Jacobsen, the crazy looking runner guy that got attacked last year. His cart was full and he looked crazy as ever. Surprisingly he was wearing shoes (flip flops).

I try not to drink a lot of soda, just a few a week...but if it so happens that the best tasting soda I've ever had has five household ingredients instead of 57 chemistry set elements, I figure that can't be a bad thing.

The 365 WF store brand lemon lime also destroys 7up and Sprite. Unfortunately none of these "fancy" or "simple" brand colas taste as good to me as Coke. So for the "it's all in your head" people...I think 78 ingredient regular old Coke still tastes much better than the 8-12 ingredient simple colas.
