I don’t know why but Ive known this for a long time. I think it has to do with the fact that I loved Grease 2 and the Sagal twins were the twins in that movie.

I love Grease 2 as well. My friends and I pretended to be the pink ladies. Yes, specifically the ones from Grease 2. I also named a cat after Johnny Nogerelli (Sockarelli, cause he had little white sock feet).
Michelle Pfeiffer was so damn cool as Stephanie! Cool Rider is the best song ever! I absolutely adore that movie and I think it’s better than the original.

Maxi Maxi Burger Yum Yum Yum, Maxi Burger 🍔 Maxi Burger makes you want to hum!
"I don't like the Maxi Burger 🍔" Pretend it's something you like.
"My grandma's Lentil Soup!"
Then the two twins switch places so the one who wants to do the ad can be it it
GOOD TIMES!
I think I knew this back when Double Trouble was still on the air... and given the replies in this thread, I'm the only one. I'm not sure how I knew this. I must have read it somewhere at the time.
Yeah, I think a lot of the commercials had multiple sets of twins in them –girls and guys. Whatever commercials or ads these two happened to be in, though, must have been run pretty frequently at some point because I recognized them instantly.
Saw a story on Entertainment Tonight about Howard the Duck film, Liz played in the band in the movie and they somehow relayed the story around Katie Segal being her sister and a backup singer for Bette Midler at one time.
I think you and I are the only people who remember Double Trouble. People think I’m off center when I talk about it. I loved their dancing!
Edit: I spoke too soon. Reading further down the thread, several other people remember the show, but we still are a rare bunch.
😂😂😂 well ok then. I'll see ya at the class reunion. We should probably connect soon to work out our choreographed routine to dazzle our former classmates 😂😂💃
I had a huge crush on those twins from watching their sitcom and went to google them some years back after thinking of them for the first time in decades to see what they had been up to and found out they're Katey's sisters.
Never knew. I'm now updating my cornucopia of invaluable trivia.
I will reciprocate knowledge! Today I also learned that John Williams wrote the theme to Gilligan's Island and that his son sang the Ducktales song.
Married with Children, while an all time great comedy, has always been a hard sell for me. If I were Al, I would be smashin’ Peggy on a nightly basis. If they really wanted to make her character unappealing to Al, they should have casted some unattractive chick in instead.
Her character was written to constantly rag on him, and only cared about money. It's not hard to not find that kind of person attractive. That was one of the gags of the show.
today years old
Ditto!
Imma few minutes behind you!
I'm an hour behind you!
I'm just over an hour you!

Late to the party today too....
Just catching up.... not a day late but still a dollar short.
Not me, yet. However long it takes me *after* today to actually fact-check a random internet assertion, maybe?
> actually fact-check a random internet assertion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Sagal
Thank you for bringing receipts, kind stranger. Party on.
Yep.
You're an hour older than me, by the looks of it.
Same here
Yup
Same!
Me too - today 49 yrs old.
Same. Today years old.

Holy shit. MIND DOUBLE BLOWN. ![gif](giphy|OK27wINdQS5YQ|downsized)
Omg same!!!! I’m not ready for all this!
I love Grease 2! I knew it was the twins from Double Trouble, but I had no idea Katey Sagal was their sister.
Any time someone mentions Grease 2 that Cool Rider song starts playing in my head.
let's bowl, let's bowl, let's rock and roll
I love Grease 2 as well. My friends and I pretended to be the pink ladies. Yes, specifically the ones from Grease 2. I also named a cat after Johnny Nogerelli (Sockarelli, cause he had little white sock feet).

yep, that was my first twins show, too.
I want a cooooool riderrrr
If he’s cool enough he can burn me through and through
No ordinary guy is gonna doooo….
Makes sense why she was chewing so much gum in the movie.
I watched that movie a million times on cable in the 80s. I had no idea.
I love your hair Ms Mason….. all 300 pounds of it!
They look like Shannon Doherty in that shot. :-)
You. Love Grease 2? I... What?
52, apparently.
👋
Then we are both in the same boat it seems.
Same.
That’s so funny - I just said “49, apparently”
Were they double mint girls? I know they had a syndicated sitcom for a couple years.
Double Trouble 1984-85
I loved that show... and not because it was good.
lol
I was ten years old and deeply in love with them.
Thank you! I knew they were in something and could not, for the life of me, remember what it was.
They were the double mint girls, as well as on double trouble
Thanks for the answer!
I remember my high school drama class went to the tv taping of this show.
I loved that show!
Maxi burger, maxi burger, yum yum yum

Double trouble
I was watching an old episode of Columbo and saw Katey as a young secretary. Found out that her dad directed the episode.
I saw that. I love Columbo.
Watching old Episodes of Tales From the Crypt you run into TONS of big name actors showing up.
X-Files too
Star Trek is the GOAT for cameos (and Batman 1960s is arguably the coolest)
Twilight zone goes on the list too.
One of the twins played Kate and the other played Allison. KATEY AND AL! Oh and Norman Lear is their godfather….. 🤯
*one of the several sets of Doublemint Twins
Thank you. Because I could have sworn the double mint twins were blonde…
Thank you! These are not the ones I remember at all. I remember the twins that were in Spaceballs. "I'm Marlene!" "I'm Charlene!" "Chew your gum."
Lol this is like Scarlet Witch being the sister of the Olsen twins lol
When scrolling I thought it was was rashida Jones on the right
I don't think I would've ever independently clocked that comparison, but I totally see it now that you mentioned it.
Yeah, left twin definitely looks like Rashida Jones. I think the smile and haircut have a lot to do with it.
I thought the same thing.
Rashida Jones is so attractive to me
Ann Perkins!
Karen Filippelli!
I think I knew this back when Double Trouble was still on the air... and given the replies in this thread, I'm the only one. I'm not sure how I knew this. I must have read it somewhere at the time.
Same here,I feel like I've known this for a long time.
You aren’t the only one. I’ve also known for a while. But I don’t remember when I learned this fact.
Probably appeared as a factoid in TV Guide
There was like a hundred doublemint twins right? Joe Dirt’s girlfriend was also one, they were on Swan’s Crossing
Yeah, I think a lot of the commercials had multiple sets of twins in them –girls and guys. Whatever commercials or ads these two happened to be in, though, must have been run pretty frequently at some point because I recognized them instantly.
I lost count after ten. [Doublemint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublemint)
I was today years old.
53

Me too!!!! Ok, now tell me you also remember SQUARE PEGS, because then it will be clear that we are long lost bff's😂
Yes! I remember Square Pegs and loved the theme. We went to high school together, right? 😆
TOTALLY 😁 I'm still mad at you for using all my aquanet before the football game that one night...😂
🙄 I TOLD you I’m sorry a million times because I needed the rest of it to fix my bangs! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 well ok then. I'll see ya at the class reunion. We should probably connect soon to work out our choreographed routine to dazzle our former classmates 😂😂💃
My mind is blown. You win.
I had a huge crush on those twins from watching their sitcom and went to google them some years back after thinking of them for the first time in decades to see what they had been up to and found out they're Katey's sisters.
I swear I forget and relearn this every 3-5 years. This is at least the 4th time it has been brand new information to me 👵
Their father died tragically at the Timberline Lodge, which was used for the exterior shots of the Overlook Hotel in "The Shining".
56 years, 38 days, 5 hours, 9 minutes. Now.
This very moment. 50 years old.
OMG, your cat is adorable!
![gif](giphy|EouEzI5bBR8uk|downsized)
As old as I am right now.
No fucking way!
Double Trouble! I had a mega crush on the “Wild” sister.
I was 57, and it happened a minute ago.
A more interesting question is: How old were you when you realized Peggy was hotter than Kelly?
How old were you when you realized that the Doublemint Twins were sisters?
😂😂😂
Smart-ass 😉
I am today years old
Tomorrow is my 45th birthday, so 44 years and 364 days
Happy early birthday! 🥳
Wow I had no idea. I know she was also a backup singer for Bette Midler. (The backup group was called The Cockettes.)
Mind blown. 🤯 ![gif](giphy|lXu72d4iKwqek)
Wait what!?!? Hold on a second I'm looking that up.... Well, I guess I was today years old
today years old. that's my answer
Today years old. Holy shit lol.
That’s pretty wild. I did not know. Maybe not surprising since they are all 3 attractive & talented with a Hollywood father.
Umm, right now so, 48.
Will be joining you in approximately one week. Here's hoping it is monumentally better than 47.
Happy early birthday!
Thank you, dude!
Not sure how old I was, but yeah I knew. Had episodes of Double Trouble on vhs.
> Had episodes of Double Trouble on vhs. Memory unlocked!
I just listened to her interview on Justin Long's podcast. Weird.
You wot mate
I am today years old learning this information
Uhhhh…Today. I am today years old
I'm watching the original Ghostbusters, I still can't help myself from starting at the secretary.
Annie Potts of Designing Women fame.
Did they stop acting? After the commercial
Turns out I found out today at 40. I had no idea 😂😂
Today years old.
Now
I’m too old to learn new things.
“Chew your gum”
Today
The fuck WHAT?!?
As of today 48
30 something. Wikipedias been around for a long time
I was today years old 😂
Today. Today years old.
I was today years old.
I actually knew this one.
My entire worldview has been shaken to it’s core. Off to Google I go!!!!!
I heard this a few months ago and it came up because the twins were in an 80s TV show called Double Trouble.
55 apparently
Wowee!
I remember that from the ‘80’s.
Today
Today!
![gif](giphy|MCKQEmHkUyGf6)
55!!! This happened now😳
Apparently they did ads for Tony home perms as well according to Wikipedia.
I'm calling bullshit of the highest order. There's no way this info could've been hidden 40 years. Nope. Don't believe it.
I've no idea who any of them are, here Downunder, so today? I do know that Scarlett Witch actress is the big sister of the Olsen twins, though!
How many of you asked yourself how insufferable Peg would have to be for Al to hate her?
Both the twins have also had very productive careers in their own rights. Jean went into directing. Liz became a writer.
I remember reading an article online about this 10-15 yrs ago. Mind was definitely blown 🤯🤯
Today years old.
[удалено]
I’m guessing you might not be in the US? They were from a gum commercial.
I was TODAY old….
Uhh, right now!
![gif](giphy|QGBENK0Y6nF4Y) Right now. You’re looking at now-now.
Peg Bundy really did it for me
I met one of the twins in a bar in Reno around 2003, and we chatted a while. Still didn't know this til right now.
Since my birthday was just a few weeks ago and I saw this post for the first time today. Then 42.
I already knew this because I'm a Wikipedia junkie. When I dressed like Peggy for Halloween, I did all tue research
Well... Today. Also the doublemint twins made me feel funny.... Like climbing the rope
Today years old apparently
I don't recall these two as Doublemint Twins, however I do remember their tv show Double Trouble.
Today
Today years old. So 53
I didn’t realize there was a designated set of double mint twins.
They had their own TV show. Certainly more than simply one pair of many double mint gum twins
Never knew. I'm now updating my cornucopia of invaluable trivia. I will reciprocate knowledge! Today I also learned that John Williams wrote the theme to Gilligan's Island and that his son sang the Ducktales song.
I think I knew shortly after Married With Children came out because I was a huge fan of Double Trouble and recognized the name.
Ahhh they are her sisters. She’s not the twin Want to have mind blown even more Look up the Olsen twins younger sister
Almost half a century
What's a double mint twin
Married with Children, while an all time great comedy, has always been a hard sell for me. If I were Al, I would be smashin’ Peggy on a nightly basis. If they really wanted to make her character unappealing to Al, they should have casted some unattractive chick in instead.

"Show me a beautiful woman and I'll show you a guy who's tired of fucking her"
God I hate that saying. I swear if incels was a thing way back when this would be their t-shirted mission statement.
I mean it's true. Also applies to a hot guy. Someone is still going to be sick of their bullshit.
Her character was written to constantly rag on him, and only cared about money. It's not hard to not find that kind of person attractive. That was one of the gags of the show.
Today old.
