The Impulsive Buy will be on hiatus this week, while we gamble away the rest of the Impulsive Buy’s yearly budget in Las Vegas. Internet access will be limited or nonexistent, but alcohol consumption won’t be.

If we win a jackpot, we may review something like the new iMac. If we lose the shirts off of our backs, it’s toilet paper and iPod socks.

Wish us luck!

Also, some of you maybe wondering about the recent prize drawing. Early this morning we pulled out the seven winners from the mayonnaise jar.

Congratulations!

Each of you will receive one (1) Wet Ones Kids Antibacterial wipe. You should’ve received an email from us, asking for your mailing address. If you’re a winner and you haven’t received an email from us, then just send us an email with your mailing address.

Prizes will be mailed to the winners when we get back from Vegas.

PS – Oh yeah, Mia, we finally got our hands on those Chicken Dunks. We will do a review when we get back, but long story short, healthier than fast food chicken nuggets, but less tasty. Also, it’s kind of gross that you can actually eat them cold.

We’re sorry, we’ve decided to take the day off.

Yes, we’ve noticed that this is the second straight week we haven’t had a review on Thursday, but it’s not like we’re planning this.

Okay, this week we planned it. But last week, we didn’t plan for our hard drive to crash.

However, we’re going to make it up to you folks.

Yes, it does smells like another product review election.

But you know what, I’m feeling like Oprah, except without the millions of dollars and Dr. Phil. So not only are we going to have a product review election, we’re also going to give you TWO reviews tomorrow.

(audience screams)

YOU GET A REVIEW!

YOU GET A REVIEW!

YOU GET A…

Oh wait, there’s only two reviews.

Um…All of you have to share the two. I don’t know how you’re going to split it up, but you folks can figure it out.

So for this election we’re going to give you three choices and the top two vote getters will have their reviews posted on Friday.

Here are your choices:

1. Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry Cereal

2. The Incredibles Cereal

3. Spongebob Squarepants Cereal

To vote, just leave a comment with your choice.

Voting will end at 12:01 am Hawaii Standard Time (HST) on Friday.

If you want to know what time that is in your neck of the woods, visit this site.

Now Rock the Vote!!!

Voting is now closed.

Sorry readers, there will be no review today, due to the sudden failure of the secondary hard drive in my Apple PowerMac G4, which contained all of my por…projects, like the Impulsive Buy’s reviews.

I do have a backup of the old reviews, but today and tomorrow’s reviews are lost.

However, to make your stay worthwhile, I’ve decided to have a election.

Vote to determine what tomorrow’s (Friday) review will be.

Your choices:

1. Healthy Choice Beef Franks

2. Mountain Dew Blue Shock Berry Citrus Slurpee

3. French Toast Pop-Tarts

To vote, leave a comment with your choice. Voting will end today at 10:00 pm Hawaii Standard Time, which is 3:00 am EST on Friday and 12:00 am PST on Friday, I think.

Damn Daylight Savings Time!

For our Australian, Asian, and European readers, please visit this site.

Now as P. Diddy would say, “Vote or Die!”

What if there’s a tie? Um…We will worry about that when it happens.

As you can see we’ve made a few minor changes around here at the Impulsive Buy. We’ve changed the main color of the site from blue to orange, because of the upcoming Halloween holiday.

What? You don’t see the orange?

Well clear your browser’s cache and everything should be all right.

We’ve also added a link on the right that shows ALL of our previous reviews. The cool thing about it is that you can sort it according to date, category, or title. Have fun with it and take a look at our past reviews and see why we will never be the next Consumer Reports.

Today, we also pulled the winners of the first ever Impulsive Buy prize drawing. There were only nine eligible entries, because some people can’t follow simple instructions.

The six winners have been emailed. So if you haven’t received an email from us, you’re a LOSER!!!

LOSER…Until possibly the next prize drawing.

Have a nice weekend.

Oh man we feel sick.

I don’t know what was worse, the contest to see who could eat the most cans of canned cheese or the competition to see who could chug a 2 liter bottle of Mountain Dew the quickest.

All I know is that it hasn’t been pretty since and the bathroom has been occupied a lot in the past 24 hours.

Whose idea was it to have a Food Olympics?

Oh yeah, it was mine.

Thank goodness I made it so that the Food Olympics comes around every four years.

So we have to apologize to The Impulsive Buy’s twelve readers, because there will be no review today.

Ugh! Someone please pass me the Pepto Bismol.
