I was eating some chocolate when I imagined a world where Hershey’s was widely accepted, even by elitists, as the best chocolate.

Is consumer elitism just a facade for pretentious contrarians? Or are there things where even most snobs agree with the masses?

Also, I mean that the product is intrinsically considered to be the best option. I’m not considering social products where the user network makes the experience.

Edit: I was not eating Hershey’s. Hershey’s being the best chocolate is a bizarro universe in this hypothetical.

    I full heartily disagree because MacBooks are a trap: While I agree with you in terms of production quality it’s a point of no return for a lot of use cases which rarely makes it the best option in my opinion.

    It’s basically eliminating too many options down the road for it to be a good recommendation for most people for me. There are exceptions of course but i couldn’t call it “best” with good conscience.

      Right. Of the major operating systems, I think none of them are good answers for this. Too close of a market share to really be in the spirit of the question, and they all really do hit different markets.
