Comped 535 Posted November 29, 2024 16 hours ago, Toast said: Interesting unsubstantiated claim on Wikipedia: In 2022, the Typhoo brand was ranked 5 in sales volume in the UK in spite of being deemed to have the largest production output; this mismatch is due to major supermarkets' own-labelled tea brands being largely supplied by Typhoo.[citation needed] Usually this is pretty good for a brand though. The revenue isn't quite as good as selling the product fully yourself, but if you excess production capacity and nobody is going to buy that much of your product, it can be a pretty good deal. In this case it doesn't seem like that worked, which could be an issue with how much they were getting from the stores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
