as the cans of juice rolled off the line, labels would be slapped on. They would count how many would get this label on it and how many would that label on it and so on. Many, many products are the same except for label.

I was always a Hellman's user, but I found Aldi's mayo was a good substitution if I couldn't find Hellman's (also called Best Foods) on sale. They may even be the same product with different labels.
