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.

    Friendly correction for someone who frequently messes it up, it’s fluoride.

    Also charcoal toothpaste should be avoided.

          Wait, what? They’re not putting diamonds in there. Charcoal is softer than graphite, which is a soft mineral to start with.

            Charcoal ranges from 50-100 on the Rockwell scale while tooth enamel is around 51.

            Charcoal can also contain silica since trees absorb it, which is definitely harder than enamel.
