>An actual M&M still tastes better than their copycat equivalent.
It can easily taste better "than their copycat equivalent" while being much worse nutritionally and ingredients quality wise, so there's that.
Sort of like to many people a McDonalds meal tastes better than a three course meal at a great (not talking "fancy haute cuisine", just honest cooking) restaurant.
Not saying Aldi's M&M copy is better. Just that something as personal as taste is not a solid criterion for whether it's worse, better or equally well made.
