Who Makes the Decision on What’s Best?

The word "best" carries a lot of weight, but it’s so subjective since it’s based on the opinions of people.  And we know that different people have different experiences with any particular product. 

Sometimes the company just puts the word best in all it’s advertising and we are tricked into thinking that somehow the people voted and this product came out on top.  It could be the best cellulite cream, the best diet pill or the best hemorrhoid cream.  Doesn’t matter. 

But the reason that we have such a variety to choose from is that not everything is best for everybody.  In fact some of the products that are termed "best" aren’t any good at all.  It was just a good marketing campaign.
