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.

    Really? I would have thought that by the easy-to-deal-with metric, anything RISC would win.

      It’s not necessarily the instruction set, it’s the platform architecture, the fact there’s such a thing as a standard BIOS. You can run Windows, Linux, Haiku etc on practically any PC. There’s Linux for ARM, why can’t I run Raspberry Pi OS on my Galaxy S10e? It’s because, though the instruction set is similar, the platforms very intentionally have nothing to do with each other.
