There I was, standing in front of the snack machine with my open mind and my dollar bill, when I saw it: Good & Plenty. D3. Immediately the chugga-chugga of that classic cartoon jingle started up:
"GOOD n plenty, GOOD n plenty, ONCE upon a TIME there was an ENGINEER! CHOO-CHOO CHARLIE was his name we hear!"
I was like, aw yeah! Good N' Plenty Candy! Don't know any other candy that I love so well! Insert money, punch D3, - *KLUNK* - reach in past the metal slot door, retrieve jolly purple, pink & white candy box, walk back to the office - STILL HUMMING THE TUNE!
CHAR-lie says: "Love my Good N' Plenty!"
CHAR-lie says: "Truly rings the bell!"
Part the glued-cardboard flaps, dump a handful out, slam 'em in my mouth and CHEW!
Ugh. I hate these things! What the HELL was I thinking?
I think I was thinking of Mike N' Ikes.
Too bad they haven't got the jingle.
