Sorry, no review today, but I’m bringing back an oldie, but goodie. It’s product election time! (Damn, I need a catchier name than that!)

For those of you who are new to The Impulsive Buy, every so often we hold a product election, which allows you, the readers, the decide what product The Impulsive Buy will review. The product election also allows me to get rid of a lot of empty boxes and bottles of stuff I’ve been meaning to review, but have been too lazy to.

Usually these product elections consists of two or three products. However, this one will be the biggest product election ever in the long, nine-month history of The Impulsive Buy.

In this election, you will be able to choose from FIVE candidates:

1. White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers

5. Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts

Like every election – well, almost every election – the candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be reviewed and the other candidates will be thrown in the trash or recycled.

If there is a tie, I am screwed.

To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice. Or you can email me with your choice in the subject line. Only one choice and vote per person.

I’ll be accepting votes until Sunday, May 1st. Sometime shortly after that, I’ll post the review of the winning product.

Now go vote like it’s Iraq in 2005.

For those of you who are new to the Impulsive Buy, every so often we have a product battle, where you, the readers, decide what product we’re going to review.

This time we’ve got two products that we believe will have a close battle. I’m going to call this fight, “The Squeeze Between the Cheese.”

In this corner, weighing in at 18.8 ounces, packing 7 grams of fat and 9 grams of protein, his foes call him The Great White Hope because of his white chicken meat, here is the Campbell’s Carb Request Chicken Broccoli Cheese soup.

(applause)

His opponent in the opposite corner, weighing in at 10.6 ounces, packing 4.5 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein, his nickname is The Orange Kid, here is the Borden Kid Builder American Cheese Singles.

(applause)

To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice, either the Campbell’s Carb Request Chicken Broccoli Cheese soup (The Great White Hope) or the Borden Kid Builder American Cheese Singles (The Orange Kid).

I’ll be accepting votes until Friday, March 4th. On Monday, March 7th, I’ll post the review of the winning product.

So let’s get ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuuumble.

Ladies and gentleman, I’d like to welcome all of you to the Battle of the Lean Pockets, or otherwise known as the “Melee in the Microwave.”

Now I’d like to introduce our gladiators.

In this corner, weighing in at nine ounces, packing seven grams of fat and 280 calories, known by his opponents as the Mexican Mercenary, here is the Three Cheese and Chicken Quesadilla Lean Pocket.

His opponent in the opposite corner, weighing in at eight ounces, packing six grams of fat and 200 calories, his nickname is the Italian Stallion, here is the Supreme Pizza Ultra Lean Pocket.

If you’re a regular Impulsive Buy reader, you can probably guess that we’re having another product election today. I’ve been sitting on these Lean Pockets boxes for the past month and I’d like to get rid of them, but I don’t want to review both of them. So I’m going to let you folks decide which one I’m going to review.

To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice, either the Three Cheese and Chicken Quesadilla Lean Pocket or the Supreme Pizza Ultra Lean Pocket.

I’ll be accepting votes until Friday. On Monday, I’ll post a review of the winning Lean Hot Pocket.

So let’s get ready to rumble.
