Review: Twenty-Five Cent Gum by Strict Obeyer of Rules While driving to play racquetball (for the first time ever), I realized I had no gum. Also to make the situation stickier, I had only a quarter. And this is where the review begins: Entering the 7-11 with my quarter. I had to settle for Juicyfruit...Or did I? 
Yes I could have had the gum that comes in the white pack, or the green pack. But none of those have the words Juicy, or Fruit in their respective titles. I did not want the mint varieties or the red variety for their obvious lack of youthful marketing vigor. 
And thats when I realized: This fucking gum has always been a quarter. 
I have lived for twenty six years and I cant think of any other products or services that have remained the same price for as long as I have been alive. Some of you artsy types could probably think of something. Artsy types always have some goddamn thing to say, especially when they are being threatened. So I shared this gum with my cousin who invited me to play racquetball, which started this whole thing. His comments: "This is probably like the first gum I ever had in my life." "Its got this fruity taste thing going around." So there you have it. 5 sticks. Still only a fucking quarter after all these years. |
