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.
My thing is they discontinued a lot of the tools I like. I carry a Skeletool and a Style CS, that pair works out great, but they don’t make any of the Styles anymore. I also really like my Squirt ES, another they discontinued.
That has frustrated me too. The Style PS was my idea of a perfect keychain tool, but they killed it in favor of the older, and less capable, Micra.
The screwdriver on the Style series, the PS, CS and tiny little Style all have it, is unique among multitools. It’s long and thin so it can reach down into recessed screw pockets and it comes to a tip sharp enough to turn eyeglass screws. It was perfect, so of course they got rid of it.
