Pick Your Poison!!! Beverage Product Election!!!

Written by Marvo | December 20, 2005

Topics: Beverage, General

It’s been awhile since I had a product election here at The Impulsive Buy, which allows you, the readers, to decide what product The Impulsive Buy reviews next. The product election also allows me to clean up my apartment which currently has empty bottles of products strewn all over the place.

Fortunately, they are mostly empty bottles of soda and water. However, if they were all empty bottles of beer, I could sing the “99 Bottles of Beer On The Wall” song or Fox could shoot an episode of Cops in my apartment.

Anyway, over the past few months I’ve tried various beverages. A few of them are sweet, one is pure, one is healthy, and one gets me so wasted that it will make me think the TV show Joey is actually funny.

In this product election, you will be able to choose from six “poisons”:

1. Oxygen Water

2. Island Fruit 7Up Plus

3. Mountain Dew MDX

4. XS Clearly Fruit Punch Sports Drink

5. Odwalla Superfood

6. Grey Goose La Vanille Vodka

The candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winner will be reviewed and the other candidates will either be recycled or turned into spittoons.

To vote, just leave a comment for this post with your choice. Only one choice and vote per person.

I’ll be accepting votes until Sunday, December 25th. Shortly after the 25th, I’ll post the review of the winning product.

Now go vote like it’s the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.

  1. Chuck says:

    I vote for the Oddwalla superfood. Anything green with algae has to make for some interesting review writing.

  2. rfduck says:

    I want the oxygen water to be reviewed, just so we can see what’s so freakin’ special about it. I thought water already HAD oxygen in it?

  3. Rob says:

    I’m going to have to go with the Oddwalla as well

  4. michelle says:

    mt dew mdx

  5. graceless says:

    i want the grey goose i want a drunken reveiw please

  6. Sasha_Kitty says:

    Gotta go with the Goose – just think of the interesting drink concoctions you could make and review with the Goose. Also maybe it might inspire another stripping video!

  7. Rick says:

    Go for the Grey Goose. I also want a drunken review.

  8. I agree with Rick .. definitively the grey Goose vodka! :D

  9. Jessica says:

    Grey Goose Vodka – it has always been a friend to me :)

  10. stuporstar says:

    Being that vodka is my bestest friend….I say “go grey goose!!”.

  11. Orion says:

    Oxygen Water

  12. Karen says:

    Vanilla vodka sounds disgusting, so I’m going for the Odwalla.

  13. Pel says:

    Grey Goose, drunken, not stirred.

  14. chris says:

    goose for sure. if the review is good enough, it might make me tear up like top gun. poor goose….

  15. Ultimate Best Vamp Ever says:

    Should this even be a vote? We all know Grey Goose is gonna win! Its not even gonna be close ;) Yea, Grey Goose is my vote! Make some tasty drinks, maybe do some body shots, be creative, have fun with it, and definitely let us know what wild & crazy things you did :-D

    I

  16. Lauree says:

    Grey Goose.. plzkthnx

  17. discorde says:

    Odwalla Superfood!! Amusing names always get to me. ^^

  18. thegrit says:

    Not sure it matters at this point, but definitely the Goose. Though I am curious about MDX as well.

  19. Vanessa says:

    Go grey goose – I too want a drunken review

  20. Jess says:

    Hmmmm…so many choices…I’m gonna go with the Grey Goose Vodka!

  21. Mir says:

    Superfood! (C’mon, don’t be wasting your Grey Goose on a review, dude.)

  22. jdjdmama says:

    Grey Goose (even though it sounds gross to me).

  23. Annie says:

    Another vote for Odwalla Superfood!

  24. Jim says:

    Grey Goose!

    Or better yet, review the Goose with each of the others. I can see many successful new mixed drinks at the end of the tunnel…

    Oxygen water and Grey Goose = G2H2O
    7-up Plus and Grey Goose = Flock of geese
    Superfood and Grey Goose = Super Goose! Or would that be goose food?

  25. Ultimate Best Vamp Ever says:

    I must say, I like Jim’s idea!

  26. Sarah says:

    I’m voting for the MDX, because Gray Goose – seriously – is my VICE. And it would get THE MOST PERFECT OF SCORES. And it would blow your mind a little too much.

    Save your Vanilla Goose for egg nog. You will not be disappointed.

  27. feisty girl says:

    Well, since I already know that the 7up stuff is GROSS, I vote for the Superfood.

  28. Uncle C says:

    As my best friend’s Polish uncle would scream, “GREY GOOSE!!!” Must drink it ICE COLD.

  29. Jude says:

    odwalla superfood… I have tried the bar, but wonder what the liquid version would be like… http://www.iniardwathch.blogspot.com

  30. random says:

    Odwalla Superfood. The review writes itself. ;)

  31. Tara says:

    I vote for #2, since I’m quite familiar with #6 as it is.

  32. Nessa says:

    vodka! definitely vodka!

  33. Cyn says:

    Grey Goose! Grey Goose! Grey Goose! Grey Goose! Forget about that “healthy” crap.

  34. Cheryl says:

    You gotta pimp the Grey Goose.

  35. cybele says:

    Grey Goose … come on!

    Wait a second, if we vote for one of the non-alcoholic ones does that mean you’ll give away the Grey Goose in one of your other drawings?

  36. SjR says:

    Grey Goose

  37. GameBoy3008 says:

    MDX. It’s the only good drink on there. Energy Drinks > Alcohol.
    That’s a fact. (Especially since I’m 14, and alcohol is out of the question anyway…) I would assume and HOPE that most of the people voting for Grey Goose or whatever ar AT LEAST 18, even though 21 is legal. If not, I don’t know what’s happening to this corrupt world

  38. ReviewMe says:

    Odwalla Superfood!

  39. Not GameBoy3008 says:

    Mountain Dew MDX

  40. Sarah says:

    I’m with rfduck… wtf? Oxygen Water? It MUST be reviewed!!!

  41. Amber LB says:

    I vote for mixing the Grey Goose with each of the above drinks, and writing a SuperReview. Then maybe you could bust out with another chart (like the lovely Marshmallow Chart), and we could all ooh and ahh, it would be like a special Christmas present to your readers. I know that wasn’t one of the named options, but I am somewhat difficult.

    Are you a “lack the enzyme” person (i.e., lacking aldehyde dehydrogenase to properly process alcohol)? I wouldn’t be able to properly review the Goose because after only a sip I would turn purple. I’m may be hapa, but I’m all Chinese in that respect!

  42. Jessika says:

    I agree with Amber, but just in case you don’t do that, Mountain Dew.

  43. harie says:

    Gray Goose, Gray Goose! There’s nothing better than passing out in style after a couple a vodka Martinis!!

  44. Chuck says:

    Mix the vodka and the MDX and write a drink by drink review!!
    Love the site!

  45. Runner4069 says:

    After Karen’s amusing post, I must vote for the vodaka, I haven’t had the vanilla…that I can remember…

  46. Gia on Guam says:

    Grey Goose Baby!

  47. Robyn says:

    I agree with Amber and Jessika! Supermix!!

  48. Nyfeh says:

    Grey goose fo sho

  49. Nicki says:

    i’d say the grey goose, i actually think that if they gave all persons who are special guests of the nickelodeon kids choice awards about 5 shots of grey goose it would have much more entertainment value…i can see it now…the new kids on the block have their reunion on the show and they’re so drunk they throw up on the front row….yeah you got the right stuff.

  50. ~Moi~ says:

    Grey Goose Vodka! So we’ll all know what to drink once we’re finally allowed to.

  51. Hank says:

    Duck
    Duck
    GOOSE!

  52. Denise says:

    Oxygen water please

  53. klew says:

    Odwalla superfood, only in that you may actually be able to chew your drink

  54. Sunbun says:

    hmm… let’s go with the vodka… and then he’ll mix it with everything else, RIGHT?

    (i hope so)

  55. Bella says:

    Grey Goose La Vanille Vodka, please.

  56. Hapless Hubby says:

    gotta be the goose

  57. govtdrone says:

    Shoot the Goose baby!

  58. The Goose says:

    Do the goose (and review the vodka).

  59. dramastically says:

    Grey Goose. And mix it with all the other stuff that’s nominated.

  60. Sarcasmom says:

    I had the same thought as dramastically. That will clean up everything.

  61. Kimi says:

    I’m voting for the Mountain Dew for the review, but drink the Grey Goose anyway for the hell of it.

  62. Mara says:

    Grey Goose !

  63. Alex says:

    Hmm…must I really pick one? I want to know how the MDX is, but a drunken review would mix things up nicely. Im’a go with the Grey Goose.

  64. ultradave says:

    review the superfood….who cares about the freaking vodka.

  65. Trinity13 says:

    Mountain Dew MDX baby!!!!

  66. JMo says:

    Goose! Goose! Goose! Goose!

  67. JG! says:

    Superfood fo sho.

  68. TG says:

    i’m with dave – where’s the artfulness in a bottle of booze? but the superfood ain’t new. that shit’s been around forever

    the OXYGEN WATER is the perfect candidate becuz it’s 1. new and 2. ripe w/ potential for a philosophical rant on nothingness

  69. Aymie's Mom says:

    Do da Goose hunney!

  70. Kate says:

    vanilla vodka, but I want to see you do a side by side comparison with the other vanilla vodkas!!

  71. whoopiepie says:

    I vote for Oxygen water. Maybe you could mix it with the Grey Goose?

  72. KT says:

    Oxygen water!

    What is it?
    I’m intrigued, yet confused.

    Hmmm..

  73. Thr4ll says:

    Go for the Goose! HONK HONK!

  74. Laina says:

    oxygen water dude…….mdx is nasty in my humble opinion…and the vodka is good lol

  75. gko says:

    Odwalla Superfood, as it look and sounds like one of those things that “tastes great!” brings on “new energy and vitality!” and cleanses your system by causing you to “sh*t ungodly things that have been accumulating and impacting in your colon over the years.”

  76. Chris says:

    Go with the Mountain Dew MDX and see how long you stay up :)

  77. Anna says:

    I highly suggest reviewing all of the beverages by incorporating them as mixers with the vodka. This way we can all find out not only how good they are on the way down, but also how good they are on the way back up, presumably.

  78. Mish says:

    Do Grey Goose!!

  79. Bryan says:

    Superfood! I’ve always looked at that bottle and been afraid to try it just cause of the color of the stuf…

  80. Megan says:

    as if my vote even matters at this point, definately i vote for the vodka, or as they spell it here, wodka. not only do i think it would be a much more entertaining review, it is the only product listed that is available to me. how exciting for me to read a review of a product i could actually go and buy!!!

  81. hismikeness says:

    Mountain Dew… the sweet neon nectar of the gods. Now with even MORE caffeine. Jeez!!

  82. Lord Jezo says:

    Either MDX so I can beat you again

    or

    Grey Goose La Vanille Vodka, drunken review for the win.

  83. Maya says:

    Grey Goose La Vanille Vodka

  84. Toni says:

    Grey Goose my friend…not only because I want to read a drunken interview, but because I want to see if it really makes you think that Joey is funny.

  85. Bryan says:

    Marvo, this is like one of those lineups at a police station where they ask the victims to pick out the person they think committed the crime, and they have 5 normal looking guys but one guy wearing a ski mask, loaded bazooka, nunchucks around his neck, and knives in his steel toed boots…

    Oh, by the way I vote for the vodka.

  86. Lara says:

    Tough call – vodka would be fun but the Odwalla may make you puke. I say Odwalla.

  87. Sarah says:

    I vote for the Odwalla SuperFood drink. Algae!?

  88. Aprilly says:

    Are you kidding me? Grey Goose.

  89. Josh says:

    Oxygen Water, it’s surely the biggets waste o’ funds.

  90. Jeff says:

    Odwalla Superfood

  91. Fnando says:

    Odwalla. Liquid soylent green, yum-yummy.

  92. Jenifer says:

    Oxygen water! Why does it exist? Does it taste like nothing?

  93. Toni says:

    Yeah! What in the hell is oxygen water??? Do you inhale it through your nose?

  94. Karen says:

    My opinion(s) du jour, Marvo (and a healthy 2006 to you after a happy Christmas from probably the only Hanukkah-celebrating visitor here):

    Odwalla Superfood is really awful. Review it if you are so inclined, but be prepared!! I’ve had it on two separate occasions (being open-minded as I am) … and neither time was it at all palatable. And lest you forget, I’m an almost-vegan with a voracious appetite (for GOOD veg food and beverages). YuckEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE on that one…

    All the 7Up Plusses (Pluses?) are banal. Soporific, if you will.

    I vote for the Oxygen water!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS MARVO… and to all The Impulsive Buy readers/commenters!

    Shalom!

  95. another megan says:

    If I remember high school chemistry correctly, H20 (water) + O (oxygen) = H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), which states explicitly on the bottle, “avoid swallowing.”

    I vote for the “Oxygen Water” because I am curious how they keep it from turning into peroxide. Maybe it will bleach your roots from the inside out.

  96. Tom says:

    To waste Grey Goose would be to break the 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Waste Alcohol.

  97. mary says:

    gotta go with the oxygen water since it’s the most pointless.

    GREY GOOSE? how could one waste that on a review? insanity.

  98. Muneer says:

    MDX! MDX! It has the best bottle.

  99. Muneer says:

    Tally as of now:
    O2- 11
    7up- 1 (XD, no wonder they are losing market share)
    MDX- 12 (my pick)
    Spt. dnk.- 0
    Odwalla- 19
    Vodka- 40

    Halfway through, I wondered what the point was. It is obvious that vodka won.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS, MARVO! (keep the “Christ” in “Christmas”)

  100. Dody says:

    Mt. Dew MDX. Very curious about this one.

  101. Karen says:

    Wow, 7-Up Plus really *CARES* about us…
    WHO KNEW?!?!!
    Perhaps i should change my choice for a
    marvelous Marvo-filled review from the
    Oxygen beverage to the Pluses/Plusses?

  102. MAC Dodge says:

    Have some fun…do the goose

  103. Jen says:

    I vote for the Grey Goose La Vanille Vodka because vodka is good. Also, maybe you’ll get so drunk that you’ll post naked pics of you on the site.. or at least a face shot!! ;)

  104. Mass Debater says:

    Da Goose, because that superfood tastes like seaweed.

  105. stuart says:

    go with the odwalla.

  106. kiki says:

    go for the grey goose, marvo! i’ll try to match you with some very fine bombay sapphire. in the meantime, Mele Kalikimaka!

  107. Rachelle says:

    I say Oxygen water! Merry Christmas!

  108. marvo says:

    Well the vodka won by a landslide. So keep an eye out for the review in the next couple of weeks.

    Thanks to everyone who participated.
