    AmazonBasics is just dupes of popular products. They see what sells the best on their website, copy them, and sell them for a slightly lower price.

      When did we stop calling these “clones” and start calling them “dupes”? I guess I’m not up to date on my lingo.

        Calling them “dupes” is the lingo used in fashion and makeup, idk about elsewhere. I think the distinction is that a dupe is a knockoff instead of a counterfeit.
