Originally released last summer.  Re-released this summer.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not summer anymore, but they still sell it.  Will probably be re-re-released next summer.  I like it.  I usually call it Mountain Dew orange.  After drinking a Mountain Dew, I feel so xtreme.  I want to do a 50-50 railslide on a skateboard, or do a tailwhip 540 on a BMX bike, or do a nac-nac backflip on a motorcycle.  If given the choice between original Mountain Dew and Mountain Dew LiveWire, I would pick the original Mountain Dew.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, now that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got the mandatory review part out of the way, I can talk about the new prize drawing.<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago The Impulsive Buy held it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=61\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first ever prize drawing<\/a>.  We gave away six Oral-B Brush-Ups.  <\/p>\n<p>We think the people who received them were very happy because these Brush-Ups are a good way to freshen their breath in case they ever found themselves in a spontaneous make out session in the back seat of a car.<\/p>\n<p>For our second prize drawing, we will be giving away SEVEN Wet Ones Kids Antibacterial Wipes, which won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t help you if you ever found yourself in a spontaneous make out session in the back seat of a car.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, now that we think about it&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself in a spontaneous make out session in the back seat of a car with someone who isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t your significant other, you can use the Wet Ones Kids Antibacterial Wipe to wipe away any lipstick or mask any perfume\/cologne, so that your significant other won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t find out that you had a spontaneous make out session in the back seat of a car with someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=64\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reviewed<\/a> them last month and here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your chance to win one (1) Wet Ones Kids Antibacterial Wipe.<\/p>\n<p>To enter the drawing, just leave a comment for THIS review.
