This was just...odd.
So I was doing my usual rounds to fill holes/find wayward products when I run into J at the Barilla bay, and we find two packages of bucatini (Garofalo and Rigorosa) sitting on top of the Barilla-brand bucatini.
The price points are like this:
Rigorosa $4.80 (bronze extruded, IMO tastes better)
Garofalo $1.98
Barilla $1.98
Someone clearly got indecisive, but the strange part as pointed out by J was: why two of the same price point? Closest I could figure is that it was someone unfamiliar with any brand except Barilla, so they went with what they knew. N was speculating if they really thought there was a difference in taste between the brands.
I'm used to seeing pasta ditched places, but never different brands of the same cut.
