It is not clear what is the real difference between garlic products - if there is one.
Several theories have circulated on the reasons why the two chopped garlic jars (which are the same size, 32 ounces) were evaluated differently. A commentator asked if the universal product codes were different, while another frustrated buyer wrote: "It's exactly the same thing !!! Just a different color jar!"
Some Walmart customers have pointed out that the $ 4.98 pot clearly says that it is chopped with garlic in the water, alleging that the first pot is chopped with garlic in oil. In Fanning video, the front label of the more expensive pot does not lists, whether in oil or water.
Others have argued that these are different products and that a chopped garlic pot is organic. A buyer, however, said that it has checked the Walmart website, and the only difference between the two was that blue -strip garlic contains a conservative called sodium benzoate.
The jury is still on the official difference. THE blue pot Appears on the Walmart website for $ 4.98, but the $ 8.36 jar of chopped garlic is not available online. A link to the product page says that " Cannot be found . ""
