I find that very odd, but if you say it is so then I believe you. Do please see the note above though where I posted that often times the store brand is the exact same thing as the name brand though.
Do you see the brand names completely gone though or just less space taken up by them?I see happening what Gadzooks describes on a regular basis. The supermarket I shop at places their store brand product next to the national brands in similar packaging and, over time, reduces the amount of shelf space and variety for the national brands.

gadzooks said:Often, yes.
Further, a product like Oyster Sauce is not mass produced so is not price sensitive.
I just looked at the pictures and Lee Kum Kee is the one I have at home as well.These are the two I have in my pantry:
Chinese - Lee Kum Kee (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ster_sauce.jpg)
Thai - Mae Krua Brand (http://www.asiaexpressfood.nl/upload/products/5203.jpg)
I am not sure what you are looking at padams2359, but the link I provided you shows both oyster flavored sauce and oyster sauce, with the majority being oyster sauce.
Actually if you look at the back label, it says oyster flavored sauce.
Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce 9 oz
I'm beginning to wonder if there is really even a difference...

In most cases, brand names just have dramatically reduced shelf space and variety. I have seen a few instances where the only option was the store brand. .
I bet you are referring to Stop and Shop. They are flooding the stores with their brand name products which are in most cases not that great. It ticks me off.
