Today we celebrate a milestone here at The Impulsive Buy.
It’s our 50th review!!!
Holy crap! Fifty reviews!
We’re just as surprised as you are. None of us thought we would even reach five reviews. We thought we would get bored like we always do, like we did with the illegal iPod pyramid scheme and the O-Town Fan Club.
So to celebrate the fact that we didn’t get bored, we…
What? The review?
Awww, come on. Do I have to do one?
Can I do a review where I devote very little time about the product and spend a lot of time talking about something else?
We do that already?
Okay, here goes the mandatory review.
Lipton Green Tea with Honey Ice Tea. 99 cents. On sale. Weak taste. Needs more sugar. Low calorie. Comes in glass bottle. Do not drop bottle, it might shatter. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
So where was I?
Oh yeah. To celebrate the fact that we didn’t get bored, we will be having our first ever drawing.
What are we giving away?
We’re giving away Oral-B Brush-Ups, which we reviewed a while back. We’ve got six of them left, so six “lucky” winners will each receive one (1) Oral-B Brush-Up.
Yeah, we know…We’re cheap bastards.
We were thinking about giving away Gmail invitations, like other blogs do, but we don’t have any. Actually, none of us here have even received an invitation. We think we’re going to be the last people in the blogging world to get one, which we don’t mind because we’re used to being the last for everything, like being picked for dodge ball and seeing the movie Titanic, which some of us still haven’t seen.
Added at 11:00 am – Okay enough with the rubbing it in. We know. Everyone has Gmail invitations, except us. By the way, thanks to those who sent some our way.

Pros: Cheap, but not even close to how cheap the prizes in this drawing are. Low calories.

I’m gonna be a rebel and NOT fill in my e-mail!! mwahaha…
I guess that’s what a self-proclaimed gay evil twin would do.
oral-b brush-ups rock! no, but really, i like them. the commercial sucks when you’re tired, but the product isn’t bad when your kid forgets to brush and then wants to give you a big hug in the car…
Haha — Love the giveaway idea. You people crack me up. Oh, and I JUST got Gmail, but I will certainly send an invite whenever I get some. This site is the best, and I like Gmail, so you should get to try it out too.
Great site! I always laugh when I read it! Sign me up for the giveaway!!! I never win the lotto so i’m aiming smaller this time!
Keep up the blog, it’s a winner.

Funny guy, thanks for reminding me that glass breaks when subject to sudden deceleration against concrete, I always forget that one. PS, check your mail box, I sent something your way, and have more if anyone wants one.
So I’m going to be that shit that ensures that not every reader gets a prize; I’m the 7th poster.
And we love McDonalds Chicken selects. Mmm.
Sure beats the heck out of the Boston Market Carver sandwhich, which was small and not particularly tastey. At least we got a loaf of cornbread.
Oooh, I love finding a new blog to blogroll! This place is fun, I’ll be back!
Check your email.
Damn – should have read the comments before I flung a Gmail invite your way. Feel free to hand it off to someone else, ok?
gimmie, gimmie.
Thanks to Betsy, golfwidow, and kmsqrd for the Gmail invites.
actually, i’m kinda interested in the Viagra info…
Rye – If you left your email address, I’d be happy to send you information about your prob…I mean, your friend’s problem.
Your blog is like climbing inside my brain. I love trying new products, actually it’s a compulsion so I don’t have a choice. Thanks for being there to review the ones I am afraid to try.
