Hello, you, scrolling through The Impulsive Buy at your desk. Good Morning! <\/p>\n
No, I\u2019m not creepily watching you through your webcam, we just have the same beloved morning routine! My name is Ann, and I\u2019m a new contributor here at The Impulsive Buy. I\u2019ve been reading TIB for years, typically over my first (fine, third) cup of coffee at my job in the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) industry. <\/p>\n
I love food and all of the physical and emotional things it can do for us. I love the anticipation of finding new flavors, the exploration of trying new foods you\u2019ve never considered before, and the community of people willing to discuss (or debate!) all the minutia of what makes something delicious, clever, truly innovative, or truly horrendous. <\/p>\n
When it comes to polarizing foods and flavors, I\u2019m in the camp of \u201cYeah, I\u2019m probably still going to eat that.\u201d Think olives, cottage cheese, pineapple on pizza (teaser), I\u2019m going to try it. I\u2019m most likely going to like it, but I promise to be truthful in my description so that when you come at me with internet pitchforks, I can at least fall on my \u201cfair and honest\u201d sword. <\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s eat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
