it was a wonderful day when i went out to buy a packet of chips(lays masaala magic)....basically for the tazo.....we still had 4 rupees more with us,so me and bhayya decided to buy me a toffee(yea my bro rocks).....short and puny,i saw myself looking at a counter full of oppurtunities-gels,gums,toffees and what nots.....biggest dilemma-more,cheap toffees or less, good ones(only 4 rupees).....i decided to go fr a lollypop.
the cover read pim pom,and one of the deciding factor for chosing it was that i could read its name.......of course the colourful packet fascinated me no end.i took the pim pom and slowly started unwrapping it(its was packed differently and really diff to open).....it was strwberry flavoured.
the fine flavour coupled with the excitement of me getting it exclusively while bhayya did not made it special.i wasnt done with the sweet,sugary coating on top yet,but what the hell!!!!! i could wait no longer....that was it........I HAD TO BITE!!!!!!!
And there it was......pressing it hard with the force of my grinding teeth and the incisors,i heard the hard coating crack and bug chunks of toffee seperating....this was followed by a rush of juice...this was heaven......i could give up cartoon network for this......but it was not over yet.
i suddenly felt it.....the chewing gum in the centre.....this was it......the top of the world...nothing else could beat it....not even boom boom boomer......
i realised then the reason behind pricing it at rs.4 and not rs.5.......it was 2 for the lollypop and 2 for the boomer.....that was it....i was glued to it......and until recently i maintained a decent record with my lollypops....(or those who think its for kids,carmen electra had them too,in meet the spartans).
Though not with all this expression,but i did tell my bro abt the experience.....and quite understandably is immediate reaction was that we went back home to get more money and then to the market to get him the pim pom.
so ppl pim pom rocks and if failed to get one as a child,no problemo get one tonight.... you see i beleive-
"A GUY CAN NEVER BE TOO OLD FOR 2 THINGS-CANDY AND EYE-CANDY"
yea,this is called self-gratification,or the FERBER METHOD..... a method of soothing urself....thats what u do when u want ppl to comment on your blog but no one does :'( :'(
ReplyDeleteyou are in for a disappointment
ReplyDeleteas i kid, i hated pim pom. i was attracted to it because of their ad, but whn i had it for the first time, i hated it like anything.
so i stopped buying pim poms
then came the newer version, pim poms with boomer inside. eagerly, i bought one of those, expecting something better. but it was dismal. i hated them more after that.
ever since, i havent had pim poms. my sis (who is 13) occasionally buys them for herself, but i continue to have a repugnance towards them
