A packet of Torquise Extra please.

    This has been bugging me for years.. It sounds silly asking for a packet of Torquise Extra and it sounds ghey asking for a packet of Cool Breeze Extra. Sometimes it's easier to ask for green or blue but it's just not the same.

    How the heck do I buy my favourite chewing gum without sounding silly/ghey if they're kept behind the counter?

    Armed robbery is pretty much your only option.

    After i've tried and failed armed robbery, i'll just have to goto a shop with them in front of the counter..

    Bring back the empty pack from last time, and say "Another packet of these, please."

    Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever asked for chewing gum. It's always been to hand.

    I know this is cheming gum territory but Juicy Fruits reminded me of Opel Fruits. Starburst just isn't the same. :(

    Wow, AH is turning into Sweets & Snacks central these days! :pac:

    anyone remember Big Red chewing gum?

    OP how does it come about that you have to buy chewing gum from behind the counter that often?

    If they're behind the counter,

    OP: "Can I have a packet of Extra, please?"

    Shopkeep: "Which, these ones?"

    OP: "No, them" /Points

    Shopkeep: "Ok, that'll be 65c please"

    OP: "There you go, good sir."

    Transaction complete.

    Or it could go like

    OP: "Can I have a packet of Extra, please?"

    Shopkeep: "Which, these ones?"

    OP: "Yes, please."

    Shopkeep: "Ok, that'll be 65c please"

    OP: "There you go, good sir."

    I don't it being much more difficult.

    EDIT: Anyone else originally read Tortoise Extra?

    Were they the cinammon flavour ones? They were lovely.

    Anyway, what kind of weird shop keeps their chewing gum behind the counter? I don't think I've ever had to ask for it, it's always on or next to the counter. I'd say just go to a different shop.

    Unless you're overly serious or sticking them up your ass, what's the problem?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
