PRIZE DRAWING: Because Sharing Is Caring and I’m Not Going To Eat Three Candwiches Before May 26, 2012

Candwich Innards

In order to get my hands on the Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Candwich, I had to purchase it online and in a pack of four. Since I needed only one Candwich in order to review it, I’m stuck left with three unopened cans.

I thought about what could I do with those three Candwich cans which have May 26, 2012 expiration date. I thought about doing something honorable and donating them to a food bank. I thought about throwing one into the ocean and letting the currents take it on a journey across the Pacific Ocean and hopefully ending up in the hands of someone in Mexico. But, instead I decided to give them away via a prize drawing and let three randomly chosen Impulsive Buy readers experience the wonder and not-so-delight of the Candwich.

PRIZE DRAWING: Because I Want To Put A T-Shirt On Your Back

Written by | June 21, 2011

I got the t-shirt (size large) pictured above for free from the folks at Carl’s Jr. I’ve had it in my possesion for six or seven months, but I’ve never worn it. It’s been sitting the cardboard box it came in because I forgot about it. During the time it’s been in the box, the Green Hornet movie was released in theaters and on DVD.

I thought about using the t-shirt as a rag. I thought about donating it to Goodwill. I thought about using it to cover my bare chest. But I decided that this t-shirt should cover the chest of an Impulsive Buy reader or be used as a rag by an Impulsive Buy reader. So it’s time to have another quick prize drawing and I’m going to call it:

ANNOUNCEMENT: Creepy BK Pillowcase Winner!!!

Written by | June 15, 2011

Topics: Announcement, Prize Drawing

Burger King Pillowcase 1

Someday, the creepy BK pillowcase featuring The King I’m about to give away will be valuable. Probably not tomorrow. Probably not next year. Probably not a decade from now. But the creepy BK pillowcase will be valuable when the robots take over the Earth because it will make a wonderful sack for gathering food while trying to avoid being detected by well-armed robots.

But that’s not for a long time, so the winner of the BK pillowcase will have to decide whether to keep it as a collectable and later sell it on eBay for tens of dollars, use it to cover a pillow, or turn it into a sack to help feed the survivors of the future great robot war.

And the person who will have to make that decision when they win this creepy BK pillowcase is:

Mir

Congratulations to Mir, who was selected using an online random number generator (who will probably be General Online Random Number Generator during the great robot war).

Also, thank you to everyone who participated. I hope to have another prize drawing soon.

PRIZE DRAWING: Because The King Is Dead

Written by | June 3, 2011

Burger King Pillowcase 1

Last year, to promote their new breakfast menu, Burger King released a television commercial that featured a pillowcase with their new breakfast menu on one side and The King’s face on the other. You can read more about the pillowcase here and here. That pillowcase was available for a short time and yours truly pulled out the plastic and purchased two of them.

When I received them several weeks later, I opened one and put it on my pillow. After five minutes of resting my head on it, I realized how stupid of an impulsive buy it was. First off, the pillowcase is white, so all the drooling I do while sleeping will easily stain it. Secondly, I can’t practice my kissing with this pillow because it’s as if I’m making out with The King. I could flip it over and practice kissing the other side with the breakfast menu, but to me it would feel like I’m kissing the back of The King’s neck. Thirdly, the pillowcases aren’t made using 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton.

Anyhoo, after putting them in the back of my dresser, I forgot about them. But I remembered I had them after learning about Burger King’s makeover and The King’s demise. Since one of the pillowcases is still in its original sealed packaging and I’m never going to open it, I thought I should give it away to a lucky Impulsive Buy reader.
