#3Does anyone find the large price premium that Baileys commands over its many imitations worth it?
In the U.S. I used to regularly buy one called Molly's and that name has stuck with me since. I still write Molly's on my shopping list here in Europe.

#4Always took a perverse pleasure in reminding my proud Irish relations that Baileys Irish Cream was invented by some "Brit" out of a lab in Essex, England in the 1970s.
They just loved that one. :P
I'd still pay the premium for Baileys. It's like buying off brand "Pringles"; you might save a small bit and the tin might look pretty similar but they taste is never taste quite right.

No.
Also there are similar drinks in other places the world (often much older than Baileys), maybe not with whiskey but brandy or other liquors.

The Aldi equivalent never tasted quite the same. Maybe it'd be fine if you were used to it, but I'd like Baileys to taste the same as it does in a bar.

Does anyone make worse chips than Pringles?

Pringles are not chips. They are mathematically precise reifications of idealized perfection. It has nothing to do with potatoes and binders, those are only incidental. It's all about the libidinal act of destroying perfect objects with your mouth.

Apparently off brand pringles are worse, if such a thing is even possible. But I'd argue pringles are not chips
