Good morning everyone. A rainy day here on the prairie and we’re welcoming the moisture.
I wonder how many of you readers remember that Certs ad of long ago, where two young ladies are debating:
“Certs is a candy mint!”
“Certs is a breath mint!”
And the announcer says, “Stop! You’re both right. New Certs is two, two, two mints in one.”
According to Wiki, Certs was introduced in 1956 and heavily advertised this way on American television in the ’60s and ’70s.
And most of you won’t give two, two, two hoots about this. 🙂
What brought this on? I’m doing two writing challenges this morning:
The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is: THE PATH AHEAD
And Sammi’s Weekend Writing Challenge calls for a 23-word response including the word KALEIDOSCOPE. Here’s her logo:
And here’s my diminutive response to both:
A kaleidoscope of summer tones
on the path ahead,
the trilling of songbirds,
wraps her in its unique condolence.
He wasn’t coming back.
Two, two, two mints in one! Gosh, I do remember that 😉
Wonderful take on the word prompt!

Thanks, Dale. I guess the ad ran for a long time.

If it was being advertised in the 60’s and 70’s, I was right there 😉
