Ya con que... ya...

Question

I was watching this video on name-brand vs. generic products in Mexican supermarkets and I was confused by a sentence used in the video.

Here's the dialogue (starting at 5:24):

Narrator: (Holds up 2 rolls of toilet paper, one that is 40 pesos, and one that is 4).

Narrator: Prácticamente 40 pesos contra 4 pesos. ¿Cuál ganará?

Narrator: (Turns to another shopper) Hola

Other shopper: Órale

Narrator: Mira, es cuatro pesos este.

Other shopper: Pero es Chadraui. Ya con que sea el papel de la marca, ya es bastante malo

I don't understand that last line. I'm guessing it means something like "As long as it's that brand of toilet paper, it's pretty bad".

I guess I'm having trouble figuring out what the structure of the sentence even is supposed to be.

Veía este video y no entendí una frase que dijo una mujer en el video. Aquí les pongo el dialogo: (empieza a 5:24):

Narrador: (Tiene 2 rollos de papel de baño, uno de 40 pesos y otro de 4).

Narrador: Prácticamente 40 pesos contra 4 pesos. ¿Cuál ganará?

Narrador: (Se vuelve hacia otra compradora) Hola

Otra Compradora: Órale

Narrador: Mira, es cuatro pesos este.

Otra Compradora Pero es Chadraui. Ya con que sea el papel de la marca, ya es bastante malo

Lo con que tengo conflicto es esa última frase. Creo que quiere decir "As long as it's that brand of toilet paper, it's pretty bad", pero ni entiendo la estructura de la frase.

Answer 1

Juan Carlos has the right idea; allow me to clarify, though. Chedraui, evidently, is a supermarket chain in Mexico

The argument seems to be that the cheaper roll is the supermarket's own brand, and in the eyes of the tv customer that, in itself, makes it inferior.

Clearly the customer has no faith in the supermarket's own brand of products.

Answer 2

, pero ni entiendo la estructura de la frase.

Ni yo, guapo, ni yo, así que no sufras.

Pero es Chadraui. Ya con que sea el papel de la marca, ya es bastante malo

I wonder what the two "ya" are doing there...makes no sense. But this is Mexican, they probably talk like that .

Right. So here's where the whole deal of school or academic Spanish breaks down. Technically, the sentence is not very good Spanish… but that's how some native speakers actually talk in some places. - Gekkosan, Sep 2, 2017

Answer 3

Last line means, ¨"It is Chedraui, being an own brand toilet paper it is already pretty bad".

Maybe that is why is so cheap compared with the other brand.
