For many years the Fred Meyer supermarket chain the Northwest (Oregon and Washington) did the same with Chiquita bananas. Regular Chiquita with the blue label were placed right next to lower priced Consul bananas. At this same chain, I once found regular Dole bananas, and right next to them were lower priced Cabana bananas. Only a pennies per pound difference. This obviously was a store policy, as I never saw it elsewhere.
