BILLY quietly slid from mid-tier to cheap tier in order to keep the nostalgic momentum. The twist is that there are certain products that people use as benchmarks of quality (like Arizona iced tea).
If the tier changes without some sort of inflection, you perceive it as degradation of quality.
- eps 1y ago> benchmarks of quality (like Arizona iced tea) Not a good example. Arizona tea is held in high esteem only because it never went up in price. The beverage itself has always been of a clearly dubious quality.
- xattt 1y agoI guess I meant to say a benchmark of “constants”. A change in quality of product (even from meh to more meh) suggests something’s amiss.
