I don't recall seeing any. Walmart typically labels cheap stuff with its own brand names to avoid confusion. I don't recall any of these names being deceptive.

They do sell cheaper quality & less fancy stuff by some brands than what those brands sell at other stores but i don't think those brands are fake.

No, they don't sell fake stuff as in counterfeit. But they do sell some low grade stuff, like clothing made out of plastic and "food" made from very low grade ingredients and a bunch of fillers and chemical crap vs. healthy nutritious stuff. It depends on what you're buying from there. Some things are an excellent value (name brand, lower prices than elsewhere) and other things aren't worth buying if you can afford to buy better quality things from other retailers. But they don't sell actual fake things, just cheap versions of things.

I bought a tea strainer and some McCormick allspice as Target was out of that particular spice. Also bought a bag of spicy Cheetos as I need to gain a little weight from all the exercise I've been getting lately. I want to try a chocolate cookie recipe using allspice. :D
