I'm sorry you felt the review wasn't...Anon-<br />I'm sorry you felt the review wasn't very helpful. I generally try to review products I like or recommend. In fact, I actually recommend these products as I stated in the review, just not for myself. The milks were leftover from a dinner party, as I had purchased them for guests. I figured it couldn't hurt to do a review and comparison since I had them on hand. <br /><br />Reviews are, by nature, completely subjective, so even the best, most well-written review about my absolute favorite flavors could mean very little to another person. That's just the way reviews work. My question is, would you have made the same complaint if this had been a movie reviewer critiquing a romantic comedy who generally didn't like romantic comedies? Professional reviewers do not usually pick their review topics based only on "flavors" that they like. I'm not a pro by any stretch, but it's not fair to suggest I should only review and post about my favorite things. And it's certainly not illogical to sample and review a wide variety of products.<br /><br />As I mentioned in the post, I *do* like some chocolate milks, in fact I LOVE chocolate almond milk, and I was hoping I might like the So Delicious drink. I'm open minded about vegan food and beverages and I often try things I think I won't like or previously haven't liked. That's the only reason I have grown to like tempeh, hummus, falafel, and avocadoes. I kept trying different versions of them until I found preparations that I liked.<br /><br />Before I go, I wanted to take a moment and recommend a few other vegan websites for my readers. They often review similar products, and offer another opinion on many of the produts I talk about on here.<br /><br />The Laziest Vegans in the World (http://www.laziestvegans.com)<br /><br />Vegansaurus (http://vegansaurus.com)<br /><br />Vegan Beauty Review (http://www.veganbeautyreview.com)<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. I do hope most visitors find the majority of posts informative or at least entertaining. I am always open to suggestions and constructive feedback.Kenikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15505500084578850678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190839643020761054.post-35436808863234000672011-11-30T11:23:24.388-07:002011-11-30T11:23:24.388-07:00Why someone who doesn't even like chocolate mi...Why someone who doesn't even like chocolate milk would venture to do a taste comparison of chocolate milk is beyond logic. This makes your review irrelevant, at best. Why not write about flavors you actually like?
