Oh wait…. Or is it the other way around?

Anyhoo, the fine folks at Oral-B are letting us give away one of their Professional Precision 1000 Power Toothbrushes to a lucky Impulsive Buy reader.

Before I got the email from the fine folks at Oral-B, I was doing research on electric toothbrushes, because I needed something stronger to clean my dirty, dirty mouth, and the one we’re giving away was on the top of my list because of its price and what it offers. The Oral-B Professional Precision 1000 received mostly 4 or 5 star reviews on Amazon
(affiliate link) and it’s The Wirecutter’s pick for Best Electric Toothbrush.

When I’m done going through the regular toothbrushes I bought from Costco, I’ll most likely pick up the Oral-B Professional Precision 1000. But enough about me and my quest to get an electric toothbrush, let’s talk about you and your quest to get an electric toothbrush.

To enter our Oral-B Professional Precision 1000 giveaway, leave a comment with THIS post. You can say whatever you want in your comment, but you must use the word “gingivitis” or the words “cavity creeps” in it.

Please don’t forget to fill out the email field because I’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for his or her mailing address. The Impulsive Buy will stop accepting entries on Saturday, July 14, 2012 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents who are at least 18 years old.

For those of you who have a Twitter account, you can get an additional entry by tweeting the following by Saturday, July 14, 2012 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time:

Hey @theimpulsivebuy! Just chill, listen to the beats I spill, I use Crest, so ain’t no cavity creeps in my grill.

So just copy, paste, and tweet. Only one tweet per Twitter account.

Good luck!

One last thing… if you don’t win, and you’re interested in the Professional Precision 1000 Power Toothbrush, Oral-B is offering a $20 mail-in rebate on it until September 30.

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.”
