Poundland (in the UK) sells a set of three AAA Duracell Plus batteries
for £1.

The batteries are sold in a blister pack The cells seem to have all the
small print of a genuine Duracell on. However the backing card of the
blister pack has some nondescript brand name on it and makes no
reference to Duracell.

Are these real Duracells?

If not then why would a known chain like Pouldland really try to
deliberately pass off counterfeit goods as the real thing?

I live in County Durham, yes I know, someone has to, aside from that, there
is a company not too far from where I live that deals with repackaging of
item that are either near or past their sell by date and then they sell them
onto shops like, but not necessarily, Poundland, Everything's a £ etc and
even market stalls.
They tend to employ, through and agency, a huge amount of foreign workers
who will work for peanuts.
