Dr. Perky is Food Lion's own-brand Dr Pepper knockoff. Knock-off cereal and soda names are the best. Prongles were real, but apparently more of a gag product co-packed by a board game company.
Not all off-brands and discount stuff is good, but trying some and finding which one is, is the price for saving money.
And besides, people can't act like a fucking Coca-Cola sommelier, coke pepsi discount or whatever, it's basically all the same.
I mean... on the one hand, any brand of these kinds of foods are... not very healthy as snack foods.
There are alternative snack food that are in the same price per volume range, and... jfc stop drinking soda, its fucking bad for you to drink it regularly.
On the other hand...
Prongles and Dr. Perky are absolutely hilarious off brand names, would definitely try them at least once, purely for how incredible the names are.

Right? "This bitch reeks of fiscal responsibility and informed procurement" is a wild take.

Dr. Pepper is pretty different, though. Definitely leaves more room to fuck up than standard cola.

Dude, generic soda goes flat as your walking out of the store. As soon as you think about buying it, it loses its carbonation.

Never had that experience. Your local bottlers sound like they suck though.

Add some baking soda and a splash of vinegar to recarbonate.

I actually prefer the store brand sodas. They cost half as much too.
Now, if you are complaining about store brand Pringles... It's not like the product had any integrity to begin with! Mmmm dehydrated potato paste.

I'd use prongles as a name for characters in games after I already had a character named prangles or prungles.
