I have a problem when I do reviews

I’m not sure if it’s ever possible for me to do a completely unbiased review. It’s a problem I’ve been fighting with and have even brought up a few times in the reviews.

See every time I see a new treat I’m bombarded by the media and marketing campaigns. They tell me what I should be feeling about a particular treat, and often even what’s in a particular treat. At this point I’m set up with a certain expectation about what I’m about to eat. I can’t just have the treat at face value.
This can influence my review of a treat as well as which treats I choose to review. I also sometimes lose interest in a treat because I already know what to expect. This could be why foreign candy is so interesting to me. Many foreign ad campaigns for treats aren’t sent my direction and in some cases I can’t even read the package so I have no idea what to expect.
