The Size Of A Share / El Tamaño De Una Acción

ON THE UPPER right of my bag of Haribo Pontefract licorice cakes were the words "Share Size." They really should make bags that hold more than one share. I ate all of mine. None for San Geraldo.

EN LA PARTE superior derecha de mi bolsa de pasteles de regaliz Haribo Pontefract estaban las palabras "Share Size" (Tamaño de Acción). Realmente deberían hacer bolsas que contengan más de una acción. Yo comí el mío. Ninguno para San Geraldo.
La verdad: La palabra "share" en inglés puede significar acción o compartir. Decidí que significaba acción esta vez.

  1. Share size, huh? That's like saying a pint of ice cream is four servings! As for licorice (just because I have to have an opinion about everything) ICK! I like black jelly beans and ouzo and that's it.

      I'm surprised you like black jelly beans and ouzo and not licorice. I love them all.

    3. Well, I'll tell ya, Mitchell. Licorice on its own is kind of salty and less sweet. My sister said try it. I did and gagged. I grew to love jelly beans as an adult. As for ouzo, no explanation needed.

  3. The rule in our household is 1 bag = 1 serving. That includes all sweets and treats. I fondly remember the days when I could a eat a 1lb bag of kettle chips in one sitting (usually as an appetizer before dinner) with no adverse consequences.

      Jerry drinks Pernod on the rocks. DEE-licious. He started drinking it long before he met me because it made his breath smell good when he was picking up men!!!

  7. Guess what! One of my former students (from waaaaaay back), just posted on FB that they are in Fuengirola ("Most charming place ever.") ! They've been traveling in Spain. So (though no one asked for suggestions ! Ha!), I told her about Mesón Salvador, and Little Italy 2.0. Who knows! You might end up in the same restaurant as Juli and Rudy :)
