The folks at Mountain Dew offered us a Mtn Dew/The Dark Knight Rises prize pack to give away to a lucky Impulsive Buy reader. The prize pack consists of the 3’x2′ poster of Bane and The Dark Knight Rises t-shirt you see in the image above. The t-shirt only comes in large and is a wonderfully soft American Apparel t-shirt.

If you win, you can wear the t-shirt when you see The Dark Knight Rises and if you stick the Bane poster to your ceiling, his scary face can be the last thing you see before you fall asleep.

If you don’t win, you might be able to acquire the t-shirt or poster by entering product codes from specially marked Mtn Dew products at DEWGothamCity.com. You can also use those product codes to enter sweepstakes for exclusive prizes, such as a signed script by Christopher Nolan (only five are in existence), costume replicas, and other gear you can’t get anywhere else.

Did you know June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month?

I didn’t know until the good folks at Wendy’s told me it was when they offered The Impulsive Buy three $10 gift cards to give away to three lucky TIB readers. Now that I know it’s National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, I regret all the McDonald’s and Burger King food I ate this month.

Oh, but the month isn’t over. I can still binge on fruits and vegetables. Farmer’s market, here I come!

Wendy’s is offering the gift cards so that the winners can celebrate a belated National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month by trying their Berry Almond Chicken Salad. I say belated because it’s almost the end of the month and the winners won’t be getting their gift cards until July. Jasper reviewed the salad last year and enjoyed it.

However, if you don’t want to celebrate National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month, you can hold on to the card until September and can celebrate National Chicken Month, if the Berry Almond Chicken Salad is still available. Or, if you can’t wait that long, you could use the gift card on July 13 to celebrate National French Fry day.

To enter the Happy Belated National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month prize drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. Your comment MUST INCLUDE one of the following:

1. Your favorite fruit of all time.

2. Your favorite vegetable of all time.

3. A 5,000-word essay about why a potato is or is not a vegetable.

4. The words, “Redheads and left-handed people will rule the world someday.”

Here’s the winner of last month’s Wendy’s gift card prize drawing:

Junior

Congratulations, Junior!

Thank you to all who participated. Be on the lookout for another prize drawing later this month.

Hey! We’re giving away a $25 Wendy’s gift card. Want to enter? Then read on.

Damn. That was such a lazy intro. Usually, they’re a bit more elaborate. Maybe it’s because I’m not excited about giving away a $25 Wendy’s gift card. I should be because they have those new Signature Sides, but I’m not. Maybe I’m not excited because I have to drive in our country’s worst traffic to get to the nearest Wendy’s in order to purchase the gift card we’re giving away.

YAY! WENDY’S GIFT CARD PRIZE DRAWING!

Ugh. Even though it was all in caps and used exclamation points, I’m afraid the previous sentence had no emotion.

Anyhoo, to enter The Impulsive Buy’s Wendy’s gift card prize drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. I don’t care what you say in your comment, but it would be awesome if it included things you’ve dipped into a Wendy’s Frosty.
