The Impulsive Buy turned 10 years old today.<\/p>\n
Here are other numbers that might interest you: 3,306 posts, 1,671 reviews, and 30 pounds gained over the past 10 years. Man, if only I took pictures of my belly every day for the past 10 years, it would\u2019ve made a great YouTube video. And when I say \u201cgreat,\u201d I mean \u201cgross.\u201d<\/p>\n
With 10 years under my belt, which after putting on 30 pounds has turned into 10 years over my belt, I\u2019ve decided to hang that belt up\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026And replace it with a longer belt that fits better and, perhaps, has some stretch to it. With that longer belt, The Impulsive Buy will continue to pump out junk food and fast food news and reviews to break the monotony of your workday, give you something to read while waiting in line, or encourage you to procrastinate. <\/p>\n
The Impulsive Buy wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for all of you readers out there. TIB\u2019s readership has grown a lot over the past 10 years, more than I thought was possible. So from the bottom of my, possibly, cholesterol clogged heart, I say thank you. I’d also like to apologize for any weight you may have gained from eating products we’ve covered that made you feel great while eating, but later made you feel guilty. <\/p>\n
The Impulsive Buy also wouldn\u2019t be what it is today if if weren\u2019t for the talented writers who, combined, have contributed hundreds of reviews and consumed thousands of calories. So I\u2019d like to thank every former and current reviewer for writing the most entertaining junk food and fast food reviews on the internet.<\/p>\n
Now that The Impulsive Buy is 10 years old, I decided to redesign the site. Okay, \u201credesign\u201d makes it sound like I spent a lot of time and\/or money building a new look from scratch, but it\u2019s more like I downloaded a free WordPress theme and tweaked it to my liking. So you will definitely find other blogs that look like what TIB looks like now.<\/p>\n
Even though the look has changed, it\u2019s still laid out the same. There\u2019s the full content when you visit the site, full content in the RSS feed, and a whole bunch of ads in the right column. The site is now mobile responsive, which means if you\u2019re viewing it on a smartphone or tablet, you\u2019ll get a version of the site that will look good on them. <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a long time reader, you might remember a section of the site called \u201cComplete Review Archive.\u201d It was a chronological list of every review posted. In 2012, I got rid of it because the blogging software I used would choke on the long list. Well, I decided with the redesign, I would bring the Complete Review Archive back, but split the list into smaller ones that would have reviews from each year. You\u2019ll see these lists under the \u201cReviews\u201d link in the menu at the top of the page. The lists for 2013 and 2014 aren\u2019t up, but will be up soon-ish. However, the lists for 2004-2012 are up, so if you want to read up on many discontinued products, then you will find hours of enjoyment within those lists.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the new look and, once again, thank you for reading The Impulsive Buy.<\/p>\n
