Hey Impulsive Buy readers! It’s the season of giving away swag we got from a company, so we’ve decided to give away what the public relations firm for Hershey’s sent us.

What did we receive?

A box of Take5 candy bars, a Take5 long sleeve t-shirt, Take5 sunglasses, and a Take5 sticker.

Why did we receive it?

The Take5 wrapper has gone through a redesign. Before it was just a red wrapper with gold lettering, but now it shows the bar’s different ingredients — milk chocolate, pretzels, peanut butter, caramel, and peanuts. The bar itself hasn’t changed.

What could you win?

I’ve eaten several of the Take5 bars since receiving the package. So the winner will be receiving 14 Take5 bars, the Take5 long sleeve t-shirt (size large), Take5 sunglasses, and Take5 sticker.

RULES:

To enter The Impulsive Buy’s Take5 Prize Pack Prize Drawing, leave a comment with THIS post. You can write whatever you want, but please don’t forget to fill out the email field because we’ll be emailing the randomly selected winner for his or her mailing address.

We will stop accepting entries on Friday, January 8, 2016 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one comment allowed per person, and it’s only open to U.S. residents 18 years old or older.

Good luck!

In 2011, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s introduced their Charbroiled Turkey Burgers. Last year, the sister chains came out with their All-Natural Burger.

The new line features a 1/4 lb. patty made from turkey raised without antibiotics and comes in three varieties — Original, Teriyaki, and Jalapeño.

The All-Natural Original Turkey Burger features an all-natural charbroiled turkey burger patty, special sauce, mayonnaise, red onion, tomato, lettuce, and dill pickle chips on a honey wheat bun.

The teriyaki version comes with all-natural charbroiled turkey burger patty, a grilled pineapple slice, teriyaki glaze, swiss cheese, red onion, tomato, and whole-leaf lettuce on a honey wheat bun.
