Reviewing something you know you'll dislike due to quirks in your own palate makes no sense. Neither does claiming you did so out of some moral obligation. If anything, you had a moral obligation to disclose to the company that you aren't into bananas and are therefore not the guy to review this or any banana-related products. If you know you dislike bananas going into it and you still do the necessarily negative review, that's crazy. You're doing the review under the guise of politeness, like if you ate a piece of some delicious pie that someone had slaved for hours to make. You know you won't like that pie no matter how well it's made, but you eat it anyway so as to not appear ungrateful. The difference is that you would never tell the person who made that pie that you thought it sucked because that suckiness has everything to do with your own skewed perception of a certain flavor. The unwritten rule is that you are always expected to provide feedback, UNLESS an inherent dislike for one of the key flavors disqualifies you as a reviewer. Common sense...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023687518794853795.post-63076232275995598882012-09-23T17:50:33.870-04:002012-09-23T17:50:33.870-04:00Thanks Nick, and yes, that is absolutely correct.Thanks Nick, and yes, that is absolutely correct.IndianapolisEaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075550755603319257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023687518794853795.post-91211903372740727942012-09-22T22:00:30.151-04:002012-09-22T22:00:30.151-04:00He's kind of compelled seeing as they sent it ...He's kind of compelled seeing as they sent it to him to review in the first place.Nick Rovohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431863638273330331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023687518794853795.post-51834779395630041392012-09-22T10:04:25.281-04:002012-09-22T10:04:25.281-04:00why even bother reviewing it if you don't like...why even bother reviewing it if you don't like one of the main flavors?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
