Does this really surprise you? Wal-mart makes cheap knock offs of everything from soda to crackers to toothpaste and everything in between.

Packaging "impersonation" in the electronics arena is a new one for Wally-World though.

Impersonations or store brands come from the same production lines as the name brands. Playtex has been branding infant care and sun care items with store brand names for many years. It's still Wet Ones. They're just sold under the local store brand.

Agreed, this ain't no surprise. The thing is, it's being sold as a toy, not as the real deal. The similarity in appearance hasn't been lost on retailers, though. :D

Just watch out for the lead paint!
