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.

Yes, you read right. Yesterday, the Impulsive Buy posted its 100th review.

To celebrate we’re not going to do the 101st review today. However, we are going to have a prize drawing. Not just any prize drawing. The most kick ass prize drawing ever in Impulsive Buy history.

We’re not talking anorexic Paris Hilton ass, we’re talking big Jennifer Lopez ass.

Sure we’ve given away pudding, antibacterial wipes, and Oral-B Brush-Ups, but this prize will be bigger and better than anything else we’ve given away.

Remember when Oprah gave away all those cars? It won’t even be close to that big, but it will be better than winning fifth place in a race.

So what is the Impulsive Buy giving away to celebrate our 100th review?

Um…We’re not sure yet, but we promise it will be the greatest thing you’ve probably ever won, unless you’ve won the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes or the lottery.

The prize is so kick ass that there will only be ONE prize available.

We will accept entries from January 12, 2005 thru January 16, 2005. Only one entry allowed per person. The drawing is only open to those in the United States, Canada, and APOs.

Entries will be printed on pieces of paper and thrown into a jar. After all the entries are collected, I will pour all the entries onto my bed and roll over them with my sweaty naked body.

After rolling around for awhile, I will get up from my bed and let the entries that have stuck onto me fall off.

The last entry that falls off will be the winner of the most kick ass Impulsive Buy prize ever.
