* In TheEighties, "Generic" products distinguished by plain white labels and simple black or dark blue lettering were commonly available for a brief time; and were popular due to their lower cost. Some of these were actual name-brand products sold under what the industry terms "white-label" packaging. (Example: generic "Beer", as seen in ''Film/RepoMan'', was typically Lucky Lager.) The minimalist look was replaced later in the decade by "store brand" product packaging.

** The distinctive packaging used by the Southern California-based Ralph's grocery chain for their generic products (dark blue AllLowercaseLetters Rockwell font names and a light blue stripe on a white background) obviously tickled the fancy of Hollywood propmasters in TheEighties, since they [[https://filmjournals.net/plain_wrap.html show up in a whole bunch of films from the decade]], but, as mentioned above, ''Film/RepoMan'' immortalized it. Also, as mentioned above, Music/PublicImageLtd (probably inspired by ''Repo Man'') used it as the basis for their ''Album'' cover art.
