(Editor’s Note: I recently upgraded to WordPress 1.5 and things are probably not looking right. If things are looking really weird, try emptying your browsers cache. I’m trying to get my old theme back, but then again the site could use a new look. Plus, I don’t think my RSS feeds are working.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Energy drinks are like cookie-cutter boy bands, they all look alike, none of them stand out, there are, annoyingly, waaay too many of them, and it would be nice if 90 percent of them didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist.<\/p>\n

The Impulsive Buy has reviewed several energy drinks over the past seven months, like this one<\/a>, this one<\/a>, this one<\/a>, and this one<\/a>. All of them were greenish in color, almost tasted the same, and had some aggro name like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Adrenaline,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pit Bull,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rockstar,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Monster.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d They also all contained the same energy inducing ingredients of caffeine, ginseng, inositol, taurine, carnitine, Ovaltine, and other things that end with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153-tine.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The Fuze Mega Energy Drink doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deviate from any of that. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just like any other energy drink you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had.<\/p>\n

Well folks, with the review part out of the way, we can now focus our attention towards this month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s prize drawing. Unfortunately, this time the prize won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even be close to being as kick ass as last month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 100th review prize. (If you want to know what the prize was for the 100th review prize drawing, click here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

We thought about giving away the 50 Gmail invitations we recently received from Google, but most of you probably already have a Gmail account and also have 50 Gmail invitations that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re trying to get rid of. So it would be pretty lame if we gave away Gmail invitations. (But if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a Gmail account, just email us<\/a> and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll send an invitation your way.)<\/p>\n

So this month, the Impulsive Buy will be giving three lucky readers each a pack of Denytne Fire, which we reviewed<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

But that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not all…<\/p>\n

Those three winners will also each receive a pack of Dentyne Ice.<\/p>\n

Why are we including a pack of Dentyne Ice, which we have never and will never review?<\/p>\n

Fire and ice just go together, baby! You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have the Ying without the Yang, Ernie without Bert, or Mary Kate without Ashley.<\/p>\n

Shazaam!!!<\/p>\n

To enter the drawing, just leave a comment for THIS review. Also, so that we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem like comment whores, you can also enter by sending us an email<\/a> with the phrase \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Fire Ice\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the subject field.<\/p>\n

If you leave a comment, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget to fill out the email field, because we will be emailing winners for their mailing addresses. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about the shipping, we will take care of that.<\/p>\n

We will start accepting entries for the drawing on February 16, 2005. We will stop accepting entries on February 19, 2005. Only one entry allowed per person. The drawing is only open to those in the United States and Canada. Sorry, to the rest of the world.<\/b><\/p>\n

Entries will be stuffed into a Hefty HandySak<\/a> and when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to pull winner we will shake it like it was a Polaroid picture or Beyonce\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s luscious ass. After an adequate amount of shaking, the winning entries will be pulled.<\/p>\n

For those of you who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never won anything before, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your chance to finally to win something. If the Boston Red Sox can win a World Series, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hope for you, as well.<\/p>\n

Fine Print: We promise your email address will not be used to send you spam about getting a free Mac Mini<\/a>. We also promise your mailing address will not be used to send you offers for a Citi Bank credit card. Bribes will not be accepted. We will not be responsible for lost mail.<\/small><\/p>\n
