Butterpak is fairly decent, think its Sainsburys

My youngest could always tell when we swapped out Lurpak for anything else, we have settled on Butterpak if Lurpak isnt on offer

Scoop it out and put it in the old lurpak box they won't know, we used to do it with lots of alternatives when the kids were younger, then told them a few months later so they couldn't complain anymore, loved their faces when we told them.

I thought the most famous was Hoover

I would've thought it was Coke/Coca-cola, which is hardly a failure.

That's great news.

Curiously, small bottles of mineral water have always cost more than large bottles.
