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.

      A more appropriate comparison to chocolate with butyric would be to chocolate without it.

      That was the comparison I made. I thought I was pretty explicit about that in my comment. I count myself lucky that I can taste it and I enjoy it. Some folks just prefer a simpler flavor profile.

      I’ll readily admit I’m a bit of an odd duck, though. I can appreciate and enjoy more challenging foods than most.
