"Generic," in the age of commerce, points directly at that four-letter word, "liberty"
Wonderful!
It seems that categories are imbeded enough in the fabric of consumerism that marketeers are fighting a "loozing battle" with themselves... one that creates most of the "wasted" time and effort of the generic dollars within.

marketeers are fighting a "loosing battle" with themselves... musick, so you're a Brit, too?  (I'd rather 'lose' a battle than 'loose' one...)

If you try spending generic dollars any where except in a Monopoly game, you'll get a visit from a Treasury agent.

Hereabouts the liquor stores sell a wine called "Cheap Red Wine" and "Cheap White Wine". Both are made in California and have a label OD in color with the print like a stencil, so it looks like Army supplies. It is indeed cheap -- about $4 for a 750ml bottle. I bought a bottle of each for my brother-in-law, a wine freak, as a gag Christmas gift, also bought one red for myself just for curiosity, and we both were agreeably surprised to find that it was not bad at all. Now I'm waiting for someone to market a wine labelled "Dago Red".
