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.

    My over 10 year old ThinkPad disagrees. The abuse it has put up with while still working puts macbooks to shame.

    I know, the newer ThinkPads aren’t what they used to be, but I have a pretty new one as my work computer, and it still doesn’t let the MacBooks off the hook.

        2011 Macbook gang rise up!

        I don’t use mine that much these days, but it’s still going strong. Two SSDs, 16GB RAM, and it’s running Arch(btw). The thing won’t die.
