Pilsbury Funfetti vs Betty Crocker Rainbow Chip

On the box, these two cake mixes look very similar.  They both advertise the rainbow sprinkles and pudding in the cake mix.  I think the similarities end there.

The hubster and I wanted cupcakes; him to eat, me to put into my cupcake holder.  I went to the store Sunday night to buy the mix and frosting.  The funfetti which we usually get was not on sale.  I was willing to pay full price, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw the Betty Crocker version on sale.  I stood there for 5 minutes contemplating what to do.  Undecided, I called up the hubster to get his take.  He said it didn't matter.  After some more indecision, I bought Betty Crocker.  I knew it wasn't going to be good as the original, but I had to save $0.69.  I had to try it.

I was right.  It's not as good.  They are much drier and the rainbow/funfetti-ness is not as vibrant or abundant.  Next time, I see Funfetti on sale for a $1I'll have to stock up.  I've learned my lesson.
