Which of the Five Will Stay Alive!!!

Written by Marvo | April 28, 2005

Topics: General

Sorry, no review today, but I’m bringing back an oldie, but goodie. It’s product election time! (Damn, I need a catchier name than that!)

For those of you who are new to The Impulsive Buy, every so often we hold a product election, which allows you, the readers, the decide what product The Impulsive Buy will review. The product election also allows me to get rid of a lot of empty boxes and bottles of stuff I’ve been meaning to review, but have been too lazy to.

Usually these product elections consists of two or three products. However, this one will be the biggest product election ever in the long, nine-month history of The Impulsive Buy.

In this election, you will be able to choose from FIVE candidates:

1. White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers

2. Red Baron Carb Works French Bread Pizza

3. Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent

4. Glaceau Revive Vitamin Water

5. Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts

Like every election – well, almost every election – the candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be reviewed and the other candidates will be thrown in the trash or recycled.

If there is a tie, I am screwed.

To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice. Or you can email me with your choice in the subject line. Only one choice and vote per person.

I’ll be accepting votes until Sunday, May 1st. Sometime shortly after that, I’ll post the review of the winning product.

Now go vote like it’s Iraq in 2005.

    Happy eating!

    Being a laundy-aholic I want you to review #3, the Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent. And if there IS a tie….eat some of the cheeseburgers, pizza, vitamin water and pop tarts, spill some on your dark clothes and then WASH them with the Cheer :)

  4. Ayesha97 says:

    Go for for Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts!!! They are pop tarts…. they can’t be THAT bad. ;)

  5. Megan says:

    I vote for

    3.) the laundry detergent. I think that would make for a very interesting review.

    p.s. i think white castle burgers taste like crap, though i greatly enjoyed the cheesy movie Harold & Kumar go to White Castle.

  6. Tyler says:

    Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts–could be good, or could be entirely too full of sugar. Either way, you can’t lose! :D

    And besides, I am deeply afraid of microwaveable White Castle Burgers. Something is very very wrong about that.

  7. Ashieishere says:

    My vote goes to…. The Pop Tarts. They seem to have the best of my interests in mind. The white castle burgers and that low carb pizza don’t seem to be well prepared for your reviewing needs.

  8. sensei says:

    Cheer Dark, please.

  12. Jeremy says:

    1. White Castle CheeBurgs (i had those pop tarts and as much as i love pop tarts, the cinnamon roll flavor sucks)

  13. Ryan says:

    White Castle!

  14. ViVi says:

    mmmmmmmmm Pop Tarts!

  15. Robin says:

    White Castle :)

    White Castle

  17. Bun-Girl says:

    I vote White Castle all the way! I mean come on… vitamin water? And low-carb pizza??? I think we all know how tasty those products would be!

  18. Lord Jezo says:

    Pop Tarts!

    I’d vote White Castle but I know the frozen ones stink compared to the real ones.

  19. JB says:

    hite Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers

  20. Bombadil says:

    I was hoping for the pizza, but looks like no chance of that.

  21. The White Castles. You’ll thank us later.

  22. Jim says:

    White Castle, definitely.

  23. Daryn S. Berger says:

    I vote for:
    3. Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent

    I’m really interested in laundry. I fear White Castle might win.

  24. Diego says:

    mmm … as kids we called them murder burgers … My vote is for number 1 …

  25. kevin says:

    white castle

  26. Alex says:

    Laundry detergent, please!

  27. Becky says:

    Because I am such a fan of White Castle I will have to vote for White Castle. I think they will probably suck becuase the only way to eat them is when they are hot. But you never know they could be suprisingly good!!! I think I might have to go there for lunch today. Do you have White Castle where you live?

  28. Keith says:

    The greassy, could never be good White Castle burgers for sure!

  29. Paul says:

    It’s gotta be the White Castle…. So good..Yet So Bad….

  30. Mellie Helen says:

    Yes, White Castle seems to be in the lead; yet, there have been many burger and pop-tart reviews here already; the world needs NO more carb-smart ANYthings; and the Cheer Dark just seems like an empty marketing ploy; so I’m voting for the vitamin water. Hey, if I can get my vitamins in an easy drinkable form, I’m all for it, but golly, I’ll let YOU taste the stuff to see if it’s actually drinkable! If you don’t review it, then send the bottle to me :)

  31. shannon says:

    WHITE CASTLE

  32. David says:

    Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent

    Everyone needs a way to prevent light black clothes.

  33. Matt says:

    White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers

  34. Steve says:

    Go for the Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent. I’ve always wondered what laundry detergent tastes like; now’s my chance to find out, at your expense!

  35. Michael says:

    White Castle.

    By the way- for two free WC burgers or a store coupon go to http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/offer.asp

  36. Kathy M. says:

    I think the White Castle would be interesting if you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to be subjected to ACTUAL White Castle burgers. And seriously, Marvo, I hope you order a salad once in a while to counteract all the atrocities you’ve committed against your gastrointestinal system.

  37. Karl says:

    My Vote goes for the White Castle Burgs. Try watching Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle first for a better appreciation of these time honored traditonal burgers.

    Cheers.

  38. rfduck says:

    I’m gonna vote for the White Castles.

  39. Ellen says:

    White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers. Yes.

  40. Genny from the Burbs says:

    Vitamin Water, Ha!

    No, I’ve actually had the Dragonfruit flavor of that stuff and it’s pretty good, so it’d be interesting to see what this one was like, but it’ll never win. So I guess I”m out the $1.50 myself if I want to know.

  41. Bryan says:

    Hands down, do the White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers.

    I have been wanting to try and review these buggahs for awhile but just haven’t got around to it. I keep seeing White Castle hamburgers on the Food Network…

  42. Thumper says:

    Since you’re recovering from the Olean chips, and White Castle burgers aren’t known as Rectum Rockets for no good reason, I’ll vote for the Pop Tarts just to save you some further intenstinal distress.

    If you DO go with the burgers, perhaps your follow up review should be for Immodium Extra Strength…

  43. Mike says:

    Please review White Castle microwave cheeseburgers.

  44. Random says:

    White Castle. I’ve been curious about those for months, but was always too chicken to buy them. So I vote to subject you to them first. Happy eating!

  45. Peggasus says:

    I vote for the Cheer Dark because it looks the meanest and could totally kick the other products’ asses.

  46. Jimmy for the Block says:

    I vote for:
    1) White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers

  47. Jimmy from the Block says:

    Constantine

  48. Heather says:

    Pop Tarts, please!

  49. taikoG says:

    John Kerry.

  50. Leeenda says:

    Pop tarts!!!

  51. Tykobi says:

    White Castle!!

  52. Kirkkitsch says:

    I’ll save you some time. The Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts be good! There.

    I vote for the Cheer Dark Laundry Detergent, since most of my clothing is dark.

    Thank you.

  53. Diana says:

    White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers, please! They must be disgusting.

  54. Damon says:

    Looks Like You Will Be Eating
    White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers (My Vote Also)

  55. jamie says:

    Eat the yummy Pop Tarts.

  56. Steve says:

    Cheeseburgers!!!!!!

  57. Goldberry says:

    I am voting for the Pop Tarts!

  58. Jay Nickola says:

    I vote for White Castle Cheeseburgers, as they seem the most likely item to reach gut-twisting, possibly Geneva-convention-violating depths of awfulness. Let me see if I understand: the market for this product is people who want to enjoy the White Castle experience — at home? Including the postgame football team’s laundry-hamper smell? Maybe they’re good to have around, in case you get too stoned to hit the drive-thru.

  59. lightpinksheep says:

    Cheer Dark!! (the only one i would consider trying)

  60. Rygar says:

    WHITE CASTLE!!! Oh how I miss them so. Since leaving New York for Floriduh I have missed their steamy goodness. All we have here is Krystal, which is close but no cigar – although the aftereffects are the same!

  61. Kristin says:

    Pop Tarts. I am always wasting my money on unappealing new flavors of Pop Tarts, so I need you to waste your money on them instead. :)

  62. Dan says:

    Cheer Dark :D :D

  63. birdwoman says:

    POP TARTS!! POP TARTS!!

  65. mashugala says:

    *secretly slips marvo a $10* you’ll make sure the white castle cheeseburgers win right? … good

  66. Artnchicken says:

    I’m voting for the White Castle burgers. White Castle is pretty bad but I’d like to see your take on it.

  67. akiko says:

    WHITE CASTLE BURGERS!!!

  68. kt says:

    Vitamin Water!!! :D :D

  69. kimdog says:

    You should do the White Castle burgers, And I will give you the special instructions for nuking them, for maximum tastiness.

  70. Cathy says:

    Glaceau Revive Vitamin Water

  71. Nancy says:

    5. Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts

  72. k@os says:

    How can you not review the biggest penis in the fast food world? Albeit a frozen, slightly shriveled penis possibly suffering from shrinkage, it is still the biggest penis around. White Castle!

  73. Sarah says:

    How about the Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts!

  74. Chuck says:

    White Castle gets my vote.

  75. Daniel says:

    Give me CHEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. akwok says:

    WHITECASTLE!

  77. Andie says:

    I say go with the vitamine water. :) But some how I don’t think it’s going to make the cut. LOL

  78. marit says:

    Laundry detergent!

  79. Mel says:

    WHITE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!

  80. Larry says:

    Cheer Dark!

  81. govtdrone says:

    Pop Tarts!!!

  82. Aurelia says:

    White Castle!

  83. Brandon says:

    White Castle without a doubt!

  84. Stacey says:

    White Castle – a no brainer. But you should wait a day or so – until the aftereffects really kick in! ;)

  85. Eliza says:

    Go for the nasty WATER. I bought it once. By mistake. Once you review it, you may haveto go upgrade the previous flavored/vitamined waters if you grade on a curve. Because i just refuse to believe that any drink could possibly be nastier than this one.

  86. James says:

    I vote for Cheer Dark.

    I’ve been using Cheer Dark to wash my jeans and navy-colored shirts. It’s a great product. My jeans haven’t faded at all in several months. Wash your jeans in cold water with Cheer Dark and dry on a very low setting or air dry, and your jeans will last for much, much longer.

  87. It must be the Pop Tarts. The White Castle cheeseburgers taste like White Castle cheeseburgers, trust me. There must be no more low carb suffering on this site. Vitamin Water is creepy. And I bet that Cheer tastes like ass. Go for the Pop Tarts.

  88. Cynthesizer says:

    White Castle!

  89. Jess says:

    I vote for White Castle!

  90. Christina says:

    White Castle! Oh how I love those little bits of hamburger goodness. The frozen ones are decent, but do not compare to a fresh White Castle, hot off the steam grill and it’s bed of onions. I don’t remember seeing a White Castle when I was in Hawaii…I think it’s more of a Midwest delicacy so you MUST try them!

  91. Bo Link says:

    White Castle Cheeseburgers, please. But only if you eat the whole box in one sitting!

  92. NGS says:

    White Castle, baby!!!

  93. nat says:

    White Castle White Castle!! (is that two votes?) ;)

  94. ProfessorK says:

    White Castle!

  95. Anonymous says:

    White castle all the way!

  96. lilah says:

    Cheer Dark. We wear black on the outside, because black is how we feel on the inside.

  97. laanba says:

    White Castle!

  98. Djinna says:

    The Pop Tarts. Never had anything from White Castle, they scare me. There’s only so much of a sacrifice I’m willing to ask from my pseudo-review bloggers.

  99. Nic says:

    Pop tarts get my vote!

  100. Evin says:

    The gross microwave burgers! I WANT TO SEE YOU SUFFER.

  101. Automaton88 says:

    I vote for cheer dark. There is only one other product of its kind (woolite style) so there is a semi-need for it. Also ill make sure it stays by purchasing mass quantities since all i wear is dark clothes

  102. gko says:

    Was originally going to go with the White Castles. But considering your recent adventures in gastronomy, plus WC is going to win anyway, I’ll put in a vote for Cheer. Seeing as the other 5 items are (or claim to be) food items, I suspect you were going to chug it down.

  103. another megan says:

    Wow – nothing like an election to bring out the lurkers!

    I actually find the Vitamin Water quite tasty and light – it’s a good hangover helper too.

    I’ll throw my hat in for the Cheer though, just to see if it’s really worth it or just a marketing gimic.

  104. the low-carb pizza!!

  105. Em says:

    White Castle!

  106. Aarika says:

    Lucky number 108: Cheer. Cuz it’s purple.

  107. marvo says:

    Voting is complete

    Thank you for voting.
