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.

    Camping supplies, especially backpacking gear (and especially ultralite gear).

    But most of the top equipment brands have legitimate, no questions asked, lifetime warranties.

    Also, camping stores. I’ll pay a bit extra to get my gear from REI because the employees will spend hours making sure you get a backpack or boots that fit you perfectly.

    You can get similar stuff from no-name brands on Amazon, but it’s not going to be the same quality.
