Happy Day Off!!!

By Marvo | November 11, 2004

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.

    Mia - We will look into those Lunchable Chicken Dunks. Although describing them as petrified scares us a little.

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob! Squarepants!

    (and Mia, those Lunchables will keep in a car for two years. Do you really want to eat them?)

    I have a feeling the Spongebob cereal tastes like Captain Crunch(tm) so I’m gonna ask for the Incredibles cereal!

  10. Aymie Says:

    Arent we suppose to pick 2? Am I reading the instructions wrong? Hmmm, well, I’ll pick 2.

    1. Spongebob (who doesnt love Spongebob?)
    2. Incredibles (Its Pixar, so the cereal has to be a sugar haven of fun)
    Screw the healthy crap. Bring on the SUGAR!

    Spongebob…since I cannot say the two words consecutively and it will crack my grandson up.

  13. Dawn (webmiztris) Says:

    Hmm, I’ll go with Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry Cereal.

    AND Spongebob cereal because…I want to know if it really tastes like sponge.

    I’m old and I don’t like “kiddie” cereals so I vote for the Fruit Harvest cereal. But I do watch Spongebob…

    Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry Cereal for me cuz too much sugar gets me high and I act like a complete retard.

    Friut Harvest because I had to recently quit Captain Crunch with Crunchberries cold turkey. I need to find a yummy grownup cereal.

  21. Jenny Says:

    I have no idea what 2 and 3 are meant to taste like, so I’ll go with Spongebob.

    Have you tried the Simpsons No Problem-Os cereal? I initially thought the chocolate buttons were actual chocolate until I ate one. Man was I disappointed.

    Spongebob for sure man.

  23. Mellie Helen Says:
    November 11th, 2004 at 5:04 pm

    Hmm, looks like the ol’ Sponge is gonna take this one, but I’m sticking with my candidate: The Incredibles! (Can’t let Campagin Day ads sway your vote if you feel convicted…)

  24. Betsy Says:
    November 11th, 2004 at 5:12 pm

    The Peach thing.

    Save the Spongebob theme for a Pop-Tart review instead. I dare you…

  25. Sam Says:

    I’m going to risk the ire of an adoring fan base here, by saying that I think spongebob is overrated. There, I’ve said it… now I just have to wait for the hate mail and other recriminations.

    p.s. So if that was unclear, I want to use my vote like a blank scrabble piece. I vote for anything BUT spongebob. You decide.

    (I am also guessing that this vote is spectacularly late. Now if you’ll excuse me, there is a thunder storm coming and my dog is about to blow the back doff it’s hinges if I don’t go let him in. You really needed to know all that huh?)

  26. Sam Says:
    November 11th, 2004 at 8:18 pm

    uhh… no, I’m not sure what a ‘doff’ is either?
    Stupid typing fingers!

    With less than four hours before voting ends, the election looks like this:

    SpongeBob SquarePants Cereal - 12
    Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry - 7
    The Incredibles Cereal - 6

    If you voted for two cereals, I counted both votes. Yeah, I suck at giving instructions.

    i vote for sugar. Spongebob and incredibles.

    With less than one hour before voting ends, there’s a tie for the second review. (Damn where’s Ohio and Florida when you need them.)

    SpongeBob SquarePants - 13
    Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry - 7
    The Incredibles Cereal - 7

    Voting is now closed.

    I would like to thank all of those who voted.

    Final standings:

    SpongeBob SquarePants - 13
    Fruit Harvest Peach Strawberry - 7
    The Incredibles Cereal - 7

    Yes folks, we have a tie.

    Dammit, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this, but since Sam left his vote up to me and specifically said anything but SpongeBob, as editor of the Impulsive Buy I have decided to use Sam’s vote for The Incredibles cereal.

    Sugar-lovers rejoice!

    We will be reviewing SpongeBob SquarePants and The Incredibles cereal.

    kirkkitsch - Tried to order those Jones Soda online, but they were sold out. Then I tried eBay and folks were selling them, but bids were waaay too high for me.

    Woohoo! I feel a rush of power now, with my proxy vote being so important.
