Many many Brand names mean little in these days of multi nationals and mega manufacturing consortium's/units whatever whose names mean absolutely zilch to the end user.
The Brand names are bought and stuck on all sorts of stuff of all sorts of quality, this coupled with very clever advertising that is designed to play on or bend your mind in all sorts of ways you are not aware of means we have to take advise from purchasers of said branded products ( like members of this Forum) dealers can help but they too have to look to supply , cost and everything else about surviving.
In this context a faux dirty old looking package is not exactly at the height of deception, I've used them and they were/are ok but was not fooled by the package, it's just how it is these days we of a certain age have to put a nostalgic view of past brand quality to one side
