Here’s the winner of last month’s Ben & Jerry’s giveaway:

NED

Congratulations, NED!

Thanks to everyone for participating. And a special thank you goes out to Ben & Jerry’s for providing the prize pack.

And now here’s a list of all the Ben & Jerry’s flavors mentioned in the comments and the number of times they were mentioned.

We’ve done a salt lick’s worth of fast food reviews here at The Impulsive Buy. Don’t believe me? Read our archives or pick up our brand new eBook, Brutally Honest Fast Food Reviews – The Best and Worst of Burger King, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Other Drive-Thru Mainstays.

Yes, you can now read TIB reviews without an Internet connection. Well, that’s not entirely true, you’ll need one to download the eBook. But once it’s downloaded you can enjoy it on your eBook reading device sans Internet. And if you’re in your private place, sans pants.

Putting together this book was hard work…that we didn’t do. We left the collecting, editing, and graphic designing to our new friends over at Hyperink, who specialize in turning blogs into eBooks. We’ve done almost 1,200 reviews here at The Impulsive Buy and I estimate about one-fifth of them are fast food reviews. Our eBook doesn’t have them all, but it’s got many of our best.

So if you’re a new TIB reader, this eBook is a great way to look back at some of our archives which goes back eight years. And if you’re a long time reader, this eBook is a wonderful way to relive all the sodium and saturated fat we consumed for you.

So how much is Brutally Honest Fast Food Reviews – The Best and Worst of Burger King, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, and Other Drive-Thru Mainstays?

If you buy it from the Amazon Kindle store, it’s just $4.95. You can also purchase it direct from Hyperink for just $2.99. With that purchase, you can get the eBook for the Kindle, Nook, iPad, or download a PDF.

Enjoy.

Salutations, Internet! The name is Earnest, and I have come here to chew bubblegum and write reviews… and write reviews about chewing bubblegum. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

I’m a college junior at USF, working full-time to support my non-stop appetite. I moved to Florida nearly 12 years ago from Germany (military brat), and I’ve been putting up with heat, humidity and hurricanes ever since. I also spent a couple years of my childhood in California and in my birthplace, Georgia. I like to think that my well-traveled upbringing molded me into the indiscriminate gourmand that I am today. I like to think that, but living in Germany probably doesn’t explain why I keep buying deep-fried butter balls and Luther Burgers from the Florida State Fair. Though it may explain my almost daily consumption of beer.

Living near Tampa has given me access to myriads of cultural restaurants, from Jamaican to Persian to Thai, all fantastic. I’m slowly but surely trying more, but it’s really hard to do when mixing things up means turning down Florida’s delicious Latin and Southern American cuisine. I mean, one does not simply say no to an Ybor Cuban Sandwich. Regardless, going out of my way to see the sights and taste the delights has become an enjoyable (albeit expensive) hobby of mine, and that fascination goes all the way to the grocery store. I’ve always had a penchant for novelty, and I’m excited to be sharing my ventures outside of my usual Facebook audience!

My other hobbies include your standard geeky occupations: Anime, video games, and spending entirely too much time on the internet. I’m also a beer aficionado and a modest lover of music. I enjoy bacon to excess, rainy days while indoors, short walks on the beach to the ice cream stand, and I’m very much going to enjoy this.

Prosit!

Hi, foodies, funny people, and other reading humans! I’m Margaret, a new reviewer here, ready to help row the ship on this 3-hour tour into the charmed world of processed foods.

While I hail from Nashville, TN, I recently moved up to New York, where I’m working the midnight oil in hopes to attain my Master’s in Dramatic Writing at NYU. In this fair Manhattan, I’ve discovered the salted aroma of the street cart falafel, the joys of having an abundant supply of freshly made pickles, and the certain uninhibited celebration of variety in the supermarket aisles. It is with this celebration in mind that I step a hopeful foot into the door of The Impulsive Buy.

During my childhood, I started living on a solid quantity of peanut butter, waffles, and Cheetos, and I’ve lived a happy life ever since. As a result, I’m an active supporter of yummy food. I appreciate a good cereal and am a master in the art of making the grilled cheese. I’ve got quite a sweet tooth. And a salty tooth. And a crunchy tooth. I must warn you: I’m not a fan of mushy canned vegetables (my apologies to the Green Giant).

But wait…what’s that you say? The canned vegetable industry doesn’t seem to be inundated with a demand for new products?

Whew. That’s a relief.

Other than that, I’m an equal opportunity taster, open to try a bit of anything once and give a sound assessment on its yumminess.

So, with my left hand rested atop the great cookbook of Julia Child and my right hand raised to the sky, I promise to help row this TIB boat into the aisles of supermarket mysteries to assess the bounty of products, be they new, old, or yet-to-be-discovered, highlighting the buried goods and tossing out a fair warning for those swashbugglin’ wannabes that I’d be watchin’ with a wary eye. So set the sail and hoist the mainstay! We’re heading out to the supermarket.
