Greetings, fans of food and, possibly, casual swearing! \u00a0 I’m Drew, your latest guide on this magical tour of things that are bad for you. \u00a0 A little background: I’m from New Jersey and will fiercely defend it to anyone, because the smell isn’t THAT bad and those Jersey Shore kids aren’t even from Jersey. (Okay, one of them is, but not the goblin.) \u00a0 I currently live in eastern Pennsylvania and will concede it offers some advantages, such as lower taxes, a major league baseball team, and… no, I guess that’s it. \u00a0 I grew up on a steady diet of sugary breakfast cereals and may be the only person living who still mourns the loss of E.T. Cereal. \u00a0 I’m also old enough to remember when Roy Rogers was a dominant fast food chain in the east and you couldn’t find a Wendy’s to save your life.
\n \u00a0
\nIn college I double majored in English and Swim Team, which turbocharged my metabolism and allowed me to eat any and all junk food that didn’t run away from me. \u00a0 Little did I know this would provide excellent practice for a future with The Impulsive Buy. \u00a0 Prior to joining TIB, my main blogging experience has been with cult movie website Mutant Reviewers From Hell<\/a>; so if I ever get confused and start bitching about the weak direction and shoddy acting in those Four Cheese Hot Pockets, you’ll know why. \u00a0 In my spare time I enjoy reading and not having any spare time because I have an adorable 2-year-old daughter and another on the way. \u00a0 They will someday read this and wonder why daddy uses all those words they’re not allowed to say.
\n \u00a0
\nThat’s about it, except to say I’m excited to be writing for The Impulsive Buy, and I hereby vow not to wuss out in my reviewing duties. \u00a0 The way I see it, if there isn’t a decent chance I’m going to regret having eaten it afterward, it probably isn’t worth reviewing. \u00a0 Join me, won’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
