Mars to Buy Wrigley

Should Mars Buy Wrigley?

Hello, I’m Dr. Murray Trillionaire–I’m the world’s leading self-help guru; they all come to me for advice, not to Dr. Phil. Now, it’s Warren Buffett, businessman and C.E.O. of Berkshire Hathaway.

Dear Dr. Murray,

Hi, it’s Warren Buffett. Do I have aggravation! I have been working over the last few weeks on a deal for Mars, maker of M&M’s, to acquire Wrigley, the chewing gum people. But over the last 24 hours I have been plagued with self-doubt. Is this a good move? Is chewing gum passe? Should Mars be trying to buy Venus (Williams, the tennis player, not the planet)? You know how I am, Murray! I work on something and then get plagued with self-doubt. I lack confidence in myself. It’s not easy growing up in Nebraska with a name like Warren. I’m a middle child too. Mother always preferred my younger brother Jimmy Buffett. I spoke with Bill Gates yesterday, and the only thing he could say was, “we can put a piece of Juicy Fruit in every Windows Office Suite!” Great! That’s really going to help. What should I do?

Dear Warren,

Have you ever thought of having people call you Renny or WaWa?

Unlike sucking candies, chocolate bars, and lolly pops, gum has always had a hard time definining itself and has continually danced back and forth from a utilitarian to hedonistic perspective. In the 1960’s there were two types of gum: spearmint and peppermint (and in some more advanced societies like the United States, cinnamon). Gum was expected to freshen your breath. That’s it. Get in, freshen the breath, leave.

But then came around your 1970’s with its hippies and drug users and all of a sudden you see people like Sir Walter Bubblelicious and the Schwartz brothers (Hubba and Bubba) coming out with psychodelic flavors like Sour Apple, Strawberry-Kiwi (before this, nobody except for some people in New Zealand even knew what a kiwi was). Gum was now expected to entertain, to pleasure the senses. I smoke pot; I swing; I put one piece of Sour Apple and two pieces of Wild Passion Guava Mango in my mouth. Who cares about my breath?

Then came the 80s and the Reagans who would have none of that. Gum needed to become serious again. It had to have a purpose, and that purpose could no longer just be to freshen your breath. Now gum would be expected to whiten your teeth, improve your enamel, and get rid of plaque build-up. Things that would never be expected from a chocolate bar or a tootsie roll. Don’t get me started!

Well, the clock is swinging back, and people want pleasure. Organic and going green are big these days. So I’m really bullish (or is it bearish, I never can get these two terms straight) on a Zucchini flavored gum. Leeks are big ever since that book came out that says French woman are thinner than Americans since they eat lots of leeks. And of course, who doesn’t love carrots. Always organic. No pesticides.

And listen WaWa, we’ve put a man on the moon, we can put stents in the heart, do laser surgery where only 20 years ago, we were forced to do liposuction, but why does gum continue to lose its flavor after fifteen minutes? Why isn’t there a gum I can leave in my mouth all day? You got a moral responsibility, Renny. Go for it!

Are we going to implement a “Cap and Trade” bill on Mars also, Since it is experiencing Global Warming?

Mars is also experiencing Global Warming, should the Obama Administration and Congress also impose a “Cap and Trade” bill to stop Global Warming there also?

Are we responsible for helping the “Martians” curb their global warming, or should the citizens on Mars deal with thier own causes of Global Warming?

” In 2005 data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide “ice caps” near Mars’s south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. ”
Carls – Then what is causing the Global Warming there? Its warming at the same pace as earth is.

No, there are no inhabitants of Mars.
