\u201cAllow myself to introduce\u2026myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hey everybody! My name is Dustin and I\u2019m here to join you on this wild ride of all things sweet, savory, and, all-too-frequently, not very good for you. I\u2019m a new reviewer here at The Impulsive Buy and we\u2019re going to have some fun together.<\/p>\n
I am a fan of all foods that are limited edition, seasonal, hard-to-find, or just plain delicious. This is largely because so many of my childhood favorites got ripped away from me prematurely. Daydreams of Josta and Ecto Cooler parade around in my mind regularly. I would do morally questionable things for a package of Keebler Magic Middles or a bag of Planters P.B. Crisps. Doritos 3D and I used to have an unbreakable bond. Taco Bell has been lackluster since they banished the Chili Cheese Burrito. Many of the beloved cereals from my childhood have evolved into mental myths as they\u2019ve been gone for so long.<\/p>\n
Suffice it to say, I have a bit of a complex. I\u2019m always on a mission to find something amazing, knowing full well that it will likely be gone as soon as I become attached.<\/p>\n
This relationship with food led me to The Impulsive Buy a few years ago. I\u2019ve been a regular reader and I consider myself quite fortunate to get to write content for the site. Plus, it\u2019s yet another way to let my self-indulgent creativity flow.
\nI\u2019ve lived nearly my whole life in the sweltering Sonoran Desert of Arizona. Because of that, Sonoran hot dogs are my life-blood and I highly recommend trying them if you can find one. <\/p>\n
My absolute favorite thing to consume is ice cream, so you could say that it\u2019s my \u201cniche.\u201d Consider me an equal opportunity eater when it comes to ice cream: I\u2019ll eat everything from the cheapest, most synthetic ice cream in large, plastic gallon tubs to much higher-end, decadent offerings. I love it all.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited to share my affinity for junk food with you all and, fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), you\u2019ll be getting to know me just a little bit in the process. Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
