Surveys like this one strike me as fodder for losers. They can console themselves that people really like them, and their products and their service. That's OK in a way, but I'd prefer to sell more product.

So everyone who sells less burgers than McDonald's are somehow "losers"?
If somebody asked me what my favorite rye whiskey is I'd answer Van Winkle Family Reserve, hands down. Do I drink it all the time? No, it's silly expensive and hard to get. One xmas bottle, maybe.
Bulleit Rye is available, decent and doesn't break the bank. Bulleit sells lots more whiskey than Van Winkle, but you won't find a soul who thinks that for that reason they're the best.
