For those of you who want to know the tech specs, click here to Apple’s page about it. The iPod shuffle we’re giving away has 2 GB of storage, comes with the sync/charge cable and earbuds, and has the words “Kickstart Your Day” engraved on the back.

Two years ago, Denny’s celebrated Baconalia by rolling out a line of bacon-heavy dishes, like Pepper Bacon & Eggs, the Ultimate Bacon Breakfast, the Spicy Pepper Bacon Jack Burger, and the Maple Bacon Sundae.

Last year, there wasn’t a Denny’s Baconalia celebration. I don’t know why, but my guess is that the previous Baconalia celebration caused the swine population to dwindle to the brink of extinction.

This year, Baconalia is back and Denny’s has not only brought back a few entrees from their previous celebration, but they’ve also introduced a pig’s worth of new bacon menu items.

Caramel Bacon Stuffed French Toast

A sweet and savory layer of bacon white chocolate spread between two thick slice of French toast, all of which is topped with caramel sauce and diced bacon. It’s served with two eggs, two hickory-smoked bacon strips, and warm syrup.

Pepper Bacon Avocado Omelette

A three-egg omelet with diced pepper bacon, fresh avocado, fire-roasted peppers and onions, mushrooms, American cheese, and pico de gallo. It’s served with hash browns and your choice of bread.

Ultimate BLT

Four strips of pepper bacon, spring mix vegetables, tomatoes, fresh avocado, and a creamy pepper spread between toasted sourdough bread. It’s served with a side of wavy-cut French fries.

Bacon Pepper Jack Tilapia

Grilled seasoned tilapia topped with sautéed spinach, diced bacon, and pico de gallo. Smothered with a Pepper Jack cheese sauce and served with your choice of two sides and dinner bread.

BBQ Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Bites

Six golden brown fried macaroni and cheese bites with bits of bacon. Served with BBQ sauce and a side of warm Pepper Jack cheese sauce topped with bacon.

Bacon Cheddar Red-Skinned Potatoes

Seasoned red-skinned potatoes topped with Cheddar cheese and diced bacon. Available as a side choice.

Maple Bacon Milk Shake

Hand-dipped milk shake blended with premium vanilla ice cream, maple-flavored syrup, diced bacon, and topped with whipped cream.

Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae with Bacon

A warm salted caramel brownie topped with premium vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and diced bacon.

Whaaa?

Yup. Thanks to the nice folks at Denny’s, The Impulsive Buy is giving away, not one, but two $20 Denny’s gift cards.

When the folks at Mountain Dew sent samples of their new Kickstart beverages, they also included a pair of Spy Optics Discord sunglasses. It turns out it retails for $150. Since I sit in front of a computer all day, rarely go outside, and don’t look good with them on, I’m giving them away via a prize drawing.

It’s the season of giving so I decided to collect a bunch of stuff lying around that companies sent us and give it away as one prize pack. Most of the stuff is in the picture above, but after I took that picture, I found a few other items to add.

What’s in the picture above?

There’s a test can of Mountain Dew Johnson City Gold, two coupons for a free Smart Ones frozen entree, two coupons for a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, and a Coinstar Sherpa, which is just a bag you can put your coins in when you’re going to the Coinstar machine. As for the other items, that’ll be a surprise for the winner.

Do you plan to play Halo 4? Or are you right now giving your hands a break after hours of playing Halo 4? If so, do you know what would be helpful?

Fifty matches of Double XP.

To be honest, I have no idea what that means. But one lucky Impulsive Buy reader can acquire those 50 matches of Double XP, if they’re randomly selected in our Halo 4 Mtn Dew/Doritos Prize Pack drawing.

This prize pack, courtesy of Mountain Dew and Doritos, is made up of a Limited Edition Halo 4 Doritos and Limited Edition Halo 4 Mountain Dew. The Doritos bag and Mountain Dew can each have a special code for 25 matches of Double XP. The Doritos bag is also signed by folks from 343 Industries, the developers of Halo. Inside the Doritos bag is regular Doritos and inside the can is regular Mountain Dew.
