Double my Frustration

Although I love looking at Hhhhaaaaaawwwwt Mr. Haselhoff I decided to move on to matters much less creepy.. and of utmost importance.

In March 2008 history changed courses for Doublemint gumchewers throughout the world. In a press conference release it is stated...

"A great new look with the introduction of Slim Pack(TM), a sleek, 15-stick envelope package that is more durable and portable for today's consumers. The new packaging is coupled with significant flavor improvements across both brands. We are bringing news and excitement to the Wrigley's traditional brands and Extra - a portfolio that represents 30 percent of our overall gum business in the U.S., commented Bill Perez, President and CEO, at Wrigley's Annual Stockholders' Meeting Wednesday in Chicago. We've reformulated these brands to improve taste and flavor duration, and we are introducing new, category-changing packaging that has been two years in the making. This cool new pack will make these brands more contemporary and give them a great presence on the shelf."

Are you kidding? First Tang and now this... Slim packs... fine. 15 stick for the price of 17... fine. Signicant flavor improvements...I beg to differ. News and excitement?? This news is not any type of excitement for me. Now everywhere I go I am buying up all the old packaging and obviously lack of flavor gum and hording it in my closet and changing my chewing habits to include only half a stick to make the packages last longer. I don't want to be "cool" I don't want "new and improved". I want what is good and delicious to my tastebuds and has been to many people throughout the world since 1914.

*sigh*

Thank You for your attention. Now if you will excuse me I have some gum to hoard.

If you think that this is eqally as gay as Twlight (which it is) how about this... oh mommy. Although, he was especially hot in Night Rider... or was that the car.. I can never remember...

we're drying again...

Last night we FINALLY got our dryer fixed. Parts and Labor.. $30 bucks and a pan of lemon bars. SWEET!!! (thanks Todd!)
