When can median income consumers afford the very best?

Raffi Melkonian asks:

A random Econ ? that pops into my head: are there any goods that a US median income maker can buy that are the best available?

I can think of quite a few:

iPhones and Kindle

mineral water (Gerolsteiner)

most vaccines and antibiotics

writing paper

books

movies

basketballs and many other sporting goods

rutabagas

Coca-Cola, Mexican or otherwise

Google and Facebook

Raffi himself cites “razor blade” on Twitter.

What else?

rutubagas
