Drugs are another difficult area. Some of the generics are inferior and were sited for poor quality control and variable strength by the FDA. But sometimes the big companies also get sited for the same violations.
The big price difference I just found was Betapace at $1/pill vs $0.16/pill at Walmart. Now that's some difference for the same medication. Shows how much good marketing pays.
