Double, Double!
I discovered Wrigley's Double Mint gum
was a special gum,
an important gum,
before most of you were born,
way back
when I was a kid.
I discovered that it's flavor
lasted double
the amount of any other gum,
especially bubble gum,
way back
when I was a kid.
I discovered if I put it back
in it's wrapper very carefully at night,
that when I awoke in the morning,
I could chew it again that day,
way back
when I was a kid.
I discovered if my mom found out
that I was chewing
my gum again
that I had to spit it out,
way back
when I was a kid.
I discovered I saved money
by chewing my gum
double the amount of time,
and being poor it was worth it,
way back
when I was a kid.

This is how I made then jams, for 1 kilogramos (1000 grs. ) I calculate about 700 grs. of sugar or 800 if you like more sweet, but in this case like have chopped apples arent acid. I used 2 kilogrsmos of raspberries so is 1.400 grsmos, tell if the link is ok, xx
ReplyDeleteha...you make yourself sound ancient...but i know all about saving gum...some times treats were few and far between depending on the month...
ReplyDeleteI remember the jingle "Double your pleasure, double your fun" and the Doublemint twins.
ReplyDelete"Used" gum sounds disgusting to me, whether it is in the wrapper or stuck under a desk.
Are you working with the finances now? Just kidding, it was a nice letter!
ReplyDeleteI love double-mint gum ... very nice!! However, I never have been able to make myself save gum for another time ...
ReplyDeleteHere is my double!
I did that to when I was a kid. Once I put the gum on the table next to the bed and when I woke up it was stuck in my hair... I had to cut it off!
