Is your product sexier than grilled cheese sandwiches? Do people like it better or are more willing to refer a friend to it? I’m willing to bet in 99/100 cases the answer is…NO.
Case and point: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches have a whopping 212,686 fans who are willing to self-identify as Grilled Cheese Sandwich lovers on Facebook!

If most people are not willing to “self-identify” as being a fan or user of your product than you are not alone. It is the rare exception where a product is so fantastic or speaks to a certain demographic in such a way that the users feel compelled to broadcast their affinity to others in their social spheres.
A great example of a product that people self-identify with is the Apple iPod, not only is it an incredibly sexy product but it is made by a company with tremendous customer affinity and good will.
The iPod has 341,820 fans on Facebook.
