I think that it is a decent example for his point that being the most
popular product does not make it the best. Tabasco sauce has product
recognition. For years, it was the only hot sauce available around here.
It remains popular, but we now have a lot more options. Beer and soft
drinks really heavily on advertising to sales. Wonder Bread has always been
a big seller, but you would have a hard time convincing me and many others
that it is the best bread.
