Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round, 3/28/08: Procter Is No Gamble

Genic brands are good, but when the consumer can buy a paper towel with the strength of bounty and the softness of charmin bath tissue for a few cents more this seems to me to like a good buy. If you want a sub par brand and later whine about not buying p&g brands so be it.

Thank You
ps. I have p&g
