Every Christmas and Easter, my wife has a habit of buying the grandchildren Thorntons chocolate eggs or whatever as a 'treat' ... and we pay exorbitant charges for the privilege.
If you were to offer me Cadburys instead of Thorntons I would snatch your hand off 100 times out of 100.
Thorntons chocolate is turd.
How on earth did they get a reputation for being something special?
I'll give you another one ........ Marks and Spencer Food.
Why does it have a reputation for being 'better quality'?
My wife buys milk from anywhere and everywhere, but without fail the Milk that always goes off the quickest is the stuff we buy from Marks.
Anybody think of any other reputations that are totally false? ... (e.g. Joey Barton is an intelligent misunderstood good guy underneath his public face ...)
As with all food and drink products the ones that last longest aren't always the best, you sometimes have to ask yourself why it lasts longer and what gives it the longer life?
