One of these days I want to choose winners by throwing darts blindfolded at a board containing all the entries, but I am such a poor darts thrower that I’m afraid one might ricochet and stab me or I’ll just accidently throw one directly at my foot. So instead I’m left with using an online random number generator to pick the winners.

Here are the four lucky winners of the popchips prize drawing:

To the winners, if you haven’t already, please check your email for instructions to receive your prize.

Thanks to the kind folks at popchips, each winner will receive a 3.25-ounce bag of the popchips flavor they requested. Also, thanks to 190-something people who entered this prize drawing. If you didn’t win, don’t fret because we will be having another prize drawing soon.

And now…here I am, being your monkey for 193 seconds.

After reading my review of Popchips and feeling sorry about the fact that I couldn’t get the larger bags of Popchips here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the head marketing person at Popchips sent me a box that contained several of the larger bags. I have four of those bags left (after putting the Parmesan Garlic ones on the side for myself) in the following flavors: Original, Barbeque, Salt & Vinegar, and Salt & Pepper. I could get gluttonous on their asses and eat them myself, but I would like more people to try Popchips so I’m going to give away one bag to four lucky readers.

To enter this prize drawing, just leave a comment for THIS post with the flavor you would like to win and whatever else you want to say. Please fill out the email field, because I’ll be emailing the winners for their mailing addresses. The Impulsive Buy will stop accepting entries on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Only one entry allowed per person and it is open to EVERYONE who’s 18 years old or older.

Oh wait. There is one last thing.

In honor of the “pop” in Popchips, for every entry received, I will attempt to do some popping for one second. Once all the entries are received, I’ll count them up, put on my dancing shoes, record a video of my crappy popping for a length of time determined by the number of entries, and post it to YouTube for you to cringe at. So if there are 60 entries, I will bust out my poor popping abilities for one minute.

Now some of you might be asking yourself, “What’s popping?” My response would be for you to look it up on YouTube. Another question you’re probably asking yourself is, “Why are you always dancing in your videos?” My answer to that question is, “Sometimes I just have to shake it.”

Good luck!

I have a coupon from the PR firm that represents Carl’s Jr. for a free Carl’s Jr. Charbroiled Steak Sandwich that I would like to give away to a TIB reader (see picture of coupon above). It’s not redeemable at Hardee’s, so this drawing is only open to those who live near a Carl’s Jr.

I’m sorry to those who don’t live near a Carl’s Jr., but TIB will be holding another prize drawing in a few weeks that will be open to more readers.
