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 could totally believe that ThinkPads are more rugged under actual abuse. I don’t think Apple tries to be, really.

    That being said, I have plenty of other younger laptops around that have been reduced to server usage do to falling apart. Apple’s early adoption of SSD also helps.
