As an opposite to the other thread. I’m thinking of things that have cached on despite lots of initial negativity.

E.g. Satellite TV. Once derided as low rent council province TV but very much mainstream now.

SUVs. A decade or so ago they were widely regarded as evil beyond compeer. One Lib Dem MP wanted them priced off the road. Now almost everyone except PH diehards is driving one or want one.

Any more?
