No I would not mistake one for the other. The bee is the key item. It's the first thing i notice.
They both look the same to the naked eye.
I know the box of Honey Nut Cheerios too well to mistake it for something else. I am too familiar with it and have bought it too many times.
It is too different to mistake it
I think there would be a very big chance i would mistake it. Its almost identical and if i just grabbed a box id give it a 75% chance.
Very good cereal
Not very high. I think if you look closely at the box, it is clear to see that one is the generic value version of the real honey nut cherrios.
LIkely very high because the color is almost the same. Also the bowl is very similar and also the top blue part is also similar. The only thing that might catch my eye is that the one on the right doesn't have the characteristic "bee" that cheerios does.
I am familiar with the Cheerios name, packaging and I look before I buy.
I worked in a grocery store for a year and have gotten pretty good at telling name brand items apart from store brand items. Plus, regarding this specific product, the Cheerios bee is pretty recognizable!
I would most likely not mistake one for the other. When it comes to branded merchandise, I almost always look for the mascot on the box. Since the generic doesn't have a mascot, I likely wouldn't have a problem.
I could see how a casual shopper could easily mistake these two brands. However, I pay really close attention to details whenever I make a purchase regardless of the product so I would easily spot the difference.
People are used to there being hundreds of different cereals and paying attention to small differences
The bee makes it obvious they're different
Unlikely , I always recognize the honey nut cheerios mascot
I honestly think that I would 100% mistake them for one another. I thought that they were both Cherios until I read the prompt. Therefore, I think that the non-Cherios one is very similar to the Cherios one.
These two items look very alike, I would mistake these very easy.
They look super identical that I thought they were the same brand.
They are really close but there are a few key differences.
its a nice box
The cheerios logo, little bee and General Mills logo is very prominent and recognizable, easy for me to pick out.
They look very similar so I'd probably mistake one for the other.
I love Cheerios and the rest are subpar~~no mistake.
I probably would be able to tell these two apart rather easily because I'm familiar with the brand name and mascot for this product from General Mills.
very similar packaging and coloring.
They do look very similar so I can see myself making that mistake.
Very possible they look similar.
I would probably at a very quick glance mistake these.
My answer is 5. I will uber likelyrics not notice until purchased. They both are what I seek.
I would not mistake them for the other. I am very conscious about brands.
They look very alike, but I think seeing or not seeing the cartoon character would help me identify the product.
very likely because they are nearly identical
I know the Cheerios brand; I don't know the other. It's obvious that the other is trying to look like Cheerios, I would recognize that it is a knock-off.
I might mistake one for the other very briefly but I think I'd notice the difference relatively quickly
That cartoon Bee lets me know right away that I looking at the original Honey Nut Cheerios.
the game is a dead give away but nice try
I would give it a a 4 they look very similar.
A better chance that the rum, only because the bowl looks isimilar and the honey imagery is close
if i was in a hurry I could easily mistake the two of them
It is not likely that I would confuse these two boxes. Although they look fairly similar with the colors and overall layout, there is still a very clear distinction between the two that I can't put my finger on. Honey Nut Cheerios is just too recognizable to be confused with any other box.
I have mistaken a different Millville product for Chewy bars in the past. This box looks sort of similar.
If I were looking for Honey Nut Cheerios, I would make sure I saw the bee.
These are really similar, so I feel like it's definitely a possibility that I'd mistake one for the other. The background colors are similar, the little honey-wand thing is hovering over the bowl in the same manner... not exactly identical, but pretty close!
As a person that always purchases generic, I would not mistake these products for each other. However, I know that the Millville product is Aldi brand and just as good as regular Cheerios.
The word "crispy" is the first thing I noticed about either box, so I would realize right away that these are not the same.
5 Very likely because they look almost the same brand. I think if I was in a hurry I would commit this mistake and take either one.
I know the cheerio bee and would know what I was getting if it wasn't on it.
It would be highly unlikely that I would confuse these two boxes. Having grown up with Honey Nut Cheerios as a kid, I know exactly what the box looks like. Any variation would stand out. The colors and name are both obviously different and the knock-off version is missing the bee.
they look similar as the generic product on the right is trying to imitate the branded product on the left but I will be able to tell the difference.
It looks moderately similar to me. I think there is a huge chance of picking one in place of other especially in the time of hurry.
