You know, if you melt some of that stuff and brush it on the back of a carefully unwrapped Hershey bar, then carefully reapply the foil and wrapper, it makes an excellent, um, gift..
Along with FEEN-A-MINT(tm) gum pieces in a Chiclets box..
Although Plough no longer makes Feen-a-mint gum (mostly because of the similarity to Chiclets and subsequent miss-use of the product) and the trademark was abandoned in 2004, back when I was in college you learned never to accept gum, even if in a Chiclets box, from a stranger (or even a friend)...
Memories....
Years ago, when one of my many nieces was in her teens, she had a crush on a really nice boy. Somehow, someone thought it might be fun to pull a prank on her because although the boy liked her as a person, he wasn’t interested romantically.
So a few of the heads got together and told her there was a youth activity at this guy’s house on a certain evening. She went, was let in, and no one was there but his parents. She politely waited and got a little more embarrassed as time went by because the parents kept looking at her. Finally, she asked where everyone was and she was told that they went with a large group of teens to someone else’s house to a youth activity, and why didn’t she know about it?
She went home and told her parents, humiliated beyond all get out, knowing she’d been made a fool of. With a few judicious questions, she narrowed down the offending group to three guys, including the one she liked, and two girls.
Well, it was getting close to Easter, and she and her mother fixed up five Easter baskets, filled with the small candy eggs, a plush bunny or chick, a few trinkets, some peanut butter eggs, and some smallish chocolate eggs.
She delivered them personally to each of the offending teens and told them there were no hard feelings. Then she waited for school the next week. The toll was high, and extended through the school day... No one in that school tried to trick her again. :o]
